Popular sitcom ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’fame Jennifer Mistry, who recently garnered headlines for her sexual harassment case against producer Asit Kumar Modi, shared that her specially-abled sister Dimple has passed away at the age of 45.
Speaking to India Today Jennifer said, "It's disheartening to face so many difficulties at such short intervals. First my brother passed away around two years back, then the entire fiasco around Taarak Mehta exit, and now my sister. She was closest to me, and it was also because of a lack of funds that we could not provide her better facilities. But I believe in the journey of soul and it was maybe her time to leave. My mother is really affected and we are trying to be there for each other."
