The beloved cast and crew of the long-running Indian show, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), are once again making headlines. This time, the news centers around alleged tensions on set, particularly between senior actor Dilip Joshi, who portrays Jethalal, and the show’s producer, Asit Kumarr Modi. However, the senior sctord of the show has denied the news.
Mandar Chandwadkar, known for his portrayal of Bhide, firmly dismissed these claims. He expressed surprise and frustration over the rumors, emphasizing that there is a harmonious working atmosphere on set. “We all are shooting absolutely peacefully and happily,” he stated, calling out the speculations are utter baseless. Amit Bhatt, who plays Champaklal Gada, agreed and said there is nothing like that. He found the reports of conflict to be unfounded and brushed them aside, urging fans not to believe such unfounded stories.
For the uninformed, the alleged disagreement stemmed from Dilip Joshi’s request for leave. Sources claimed that Joshi tried to speak with Modi, but the producer’s negligence of the matter allegedly led to a heated exchange. One insider informed that the situation escalated, and even developed into a physical alteration. Rumours were Dilip holding Asit Modi’s coller. However, they noted that things ultimately calmed down, though the details of how the dispute was resolved remain unclear.
The buzz surrounding this issue reached new levels of intensity when Dilip Joshi himself decided to address the situation. The actor, who has been a cornerstone of TMKOC for 16 years, expressed disappointment over the continuous spread of false narratives. “There have been some stories in the media about me and Asit Bhai that are completely false, and it really saddens me to see such things being said,” he shared. He emphasized how the show holds immense significance for him and millions of fans, making these rumors all the more hurtful.
Joshi went on to reflect on the impact of such stories, noting how they affect not only the cast and crew but also the dedicated audience who loves the show. He revealed that this is not the first time he has had to confront baseless allegations, recalling past rumors about his departure from the series. “It’s disheartening to see negativity being spread about something that has brought so much joy to so many for so many years,” he remarked, expressing his frustration over the constant need to clarify his position.
The veteran actor also questioned the motives behind the circulation of these stories. He wondered aloud if jealousy over the show’s enduring success could be a factor driving such narratives. Joshi reassured fans that he remains fully committed to the series and intends to continue working with the same passion and dedication. “I’m here, I’m working every day with the same love and passion for the show, and I’m not going anywhere,” he declared, reinforcing his loyalty to TMKOC.
To conclude, Joshi urged the media to fact-check before spreading potentially harmful rumors. He emphasized the collective mission of the cast and crew is to bring happiness and positivity through the show. Thanking the fans for their unwavering support, he reminded everyone of the joy TMKOC has brought over the years and called for a focus on that positivity moving forward.
The cast’s collective statements and Joshi’s heartfelt words highlight the resilience and bond of the TMKOC team, reassuring fans that their favorite show continues to be a place of camaraderie and joy.
