After winning the Lawsuit against TMKOC producer, Asit Kumarr Modi, Shailesh Lodha opened up about the same. In an interview with TOI, the talented artist shared that the fight was not about money but it was about justice and self-respect. Shailesh mentioned that he feels happy that the truth has finally prevailed. Talking more about the same, Shailesh also mentioned that before clearing his dues, Asit Kumarr Modi and his team wanted him to sign some particular papers and gave him certain conditions that he can't reveal it to the media. Shailesh mentioned that he didn't bow down against them as he thinks he doesn't need to sign any paper to get his own earned money. Shailesh Lodha stated:
"This fight was never about the money. It was about seeking justice and self-respect. I feel like I have won a battle and I’m happy that the truth has prevailed...He (Asit) wanted me to sign some papers to clear my dues. They had certain clauses like you cannot talk to the media and other things. I didn’t bow down to the arm-twisting. Why would I sign any papers to get my own money?”
Earlier, during an event, Shailesh Lodha was asked about his exit from the show. To this, the actor took a sly dig at the show's producer. The actor mentioned:
"Doosron ki pratibhaon se apna naam karne vale logg, kisi pratibhashali vyakti se bade nahi ho sakte. Duniya ka koi publisher, lekhak se bada nahi ho sakta, koi producer kisi abhineta se bada nahi ho sakta, vo vyapari hai. Jab bhi koi vyapari mere kavi hone pe, mere abhineta hone par haavi hoga, tab tab jwalamukhi fatega."
