Neha Mehta, who played the role of Anjali called it quits in 2020. Her sudden decision after playing the character for 12 years came as a shock to her fans. Back then she stated her reasons for the move. “Yes, there were issues, but I believe that sometimes, silence speaks for itself. Also, I felt that I needed to move on and grow. I need to explore other platforms like films and web series. Also, when you become a part of a project for such a long time, you settle into a comfort zone and don’t think of any other opportunities. Over the last few years, I got some interesting offers, but I let them go because I felt this show was my family.” Even though the actor did not speak about monetary issues with the producers back then, she told BT very recently that her dues have still not been settled. “I acted in Taarak Mehta as Anjali for 12 years before quitting in 2020. The last six months’ money is pending. After I quit the show, I called them a few times regarding my pending dues. I don’t like complaining… hopefully, there will be a solution soon and I will get my hard-earned money.” Neha recently finished shooting for a Gujarati film. (Photo: Instagram)
