Monika Bhadoriya on battling suicidal thoughts

Recalling the same phase, Monika Bhadoriya shared that at that time, she was working for Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and it was very torturing for her. She was so saddened by the toxic comments that she started having suicidal thoughts.

“During this time, I was working for Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, which was also very torturing. So all this torture and thoughts made me feel that I should commit suicide.

She also suffered a lot, but couldn't share her grievances with the public as she was made to sign a contract. Monika accused the makers of shutting her down and mentioned that she preferred self-respect over money and quit the show. She said:

"But when my mother was ill and was in her last days, I thought I should bring her to the sets and show her where I work, but that remained impossible. There are a lot of people, who are working for money. Money is important but not more than self-respect."
