Controversies






= Lawsuit Over Unpaid Dues

=
In 2023, Shailesh Lodha, former actor on the show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, won a lawsuit against Asit for non-payment of dues. Lodha, who portrayed the titular character for 14 years, had quit the show in 2022. The court ordered Asit to pay ₹1.05 crore to Lodha. The dispute arose when Lodha approached the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) after the producers failed to clear his dues. Lodha emphasized that his fight was for justice and self-respect rather than money, highlighting issues with the producers' contractual demands




= Harassment Allegations

=
In May 2023, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Jennifer Mistry accused Asit of sexual harassment and mistreatment on the show's set. She revealed that despite filing a complaint and recording her statement, there has been little progress in the case. According to Mistry, Asit has made counter-allegations against her, claiming she created a hostile work environment and behaved inappropriately with male cast members. The show's production house has since established an Internal Complaint Committee (ICC) to address such issues, following directives from the National Commission for Women and local authorities. Mistry expressed disappointment over the delay in the investigation and vowed to prove her case with substantial evidence.
