Jaswir on why she was forced to quit CID

Jaswir revealed that she was suddenly asked to leave the show and cried for 45 days afterwards. She shared that she had worked on the show for nearly two years, shooting consistently without any days off. The actor further said that none of her co-stars reached out to her or took a stand for her when she was asked to leave.

When asked why she was removed from the show, Jaswir replied, “Suddenly they called me to the office, and they said my attitude is wrong, I don't walk nicely. They said that if your lines are not there, you throw the script and use foul language. And I was like, when did this all happen? I tried to counter, and the negotiation lasted 45 days. I only had tears in my eyes, and my mother cried because she saw me cry every day. And then I went through depression for three months.”

She also claimed that during the show’s run, she became a victim of black magic. According to Jaswir, a chunk of her hair had been cut, which she noticed later. She later said an astrologer told her that her hair had been cut and buried in the soil. Recalling the financial struggles she faced during that period, she said, “For seven years, I only did survival. I only did cameos for seven years. And I had bought a house. I used to sleep on the floor because I didn't have the money to pay EMI for the house. I used to have ₹100, and ₹800 was tax.”

Jaswir essayed the role of Inspector Kajal in CID and appeared in the show from 2010 to 2012. The popular crime drama also starred Shivaji Satam, Aditya Srivastava, Dayanand Shetty, Dinesh Phadnis and Narendra Gupta, among others.
