Dilip Joshi, Munmun Dutta quit Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah? Asit Modi says, ‘kuch unke personal reasons the…'
Asit called it false information and stated, "As you know, social media these days has become so negative that you should try to keep a positive mindset. And Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a completely positive show. It's a family show that spreads happiness. So some people should think positively about it. It's not right to spread rumours over small things or say anything inappropriate. That's not a good thing."
Further quashing the rumours of Dilip and Munmun quitting the show, Asit said, "Lekin kuch nahi hai, sab log hamari team ka part hai. Kuch unke personal reasons the to us time nahi the. To aise koi baat nahi hai" (But there's nothing like that, everyone is part of our team. They were not present at that time due to some personal reasons. So, there's no such issue).
Speculation about Dilip and Munmun's departure from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah began when viewers noticed their prolonged absence from the ongoing 'Bhootni' storyline. In the current plot, most of the Gokuldham Society members are seen holidaying in a supposedly haunted bungalow. Characters like Bapuji, Popatlal, Sodhi, Taarak Mehta, and Anjali have all been part of this spooky vacation. However, Jethalal and Babita have remained noticeably absent. Their absence fuelled rumours that the actors might be planning to exit the long-running sitcom. About Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah
First aired in 2008 on SAB TV, the show is inspired by the Gujarati column Duniya Ne Undha Chashma by journalist and playwright Taarak Mehta. Created by Asit Kumarr Modi, the show centres around the lives of the residents of Gokuldham Society, a diverse housing colony in Mumbai. At the heart of the series is Jethalal Gada, a quirky Gujarati businessman played by Dilip Joshi, whose comic timing and daily struggles have made him a fan favourite. Despite numerous cast changes and evolving storylines, TMKOC has maintained a loyal fanbase and continues to enjoy high TRPs.

TMKOC's Nidhi Bhanushali On Actors Quitting The Show: ‘Nobody Needs To Give Justification'
Last Updated: Nidhi, who left the show years ago, said she remains in touch with co-stars like Dilkush Reporter, Bhavya Gandhi, and Kush Shah. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), India's longest-running sitcom, is currently in the spotlight amid reports that lead actors Dilip Joshi (Jethalal) and Munmun Dutta (Babita) may be exiting the show. While the makers have denied the claims, the departure of several popular actors in the past has sparked debate. Former Sonu Bhide, actress Nidhi Bhanushali, recently weighed in on the topic during an interview with Hindi Rush. Nidhi, who left the show years ago, said she remains in touch with co-stars like Dilkush Reporter, Bhavya Gandhi, and Kush Shah. When asked about the buzz surrounding Dilip Joshi, Munmun Dutta, and Tanuj Mahashabde possibly leaving the show, she pointed out that monotony can affect anyone. 'Aap kitne hi time ke liye ek cheez roj kar sakte ho. Everybody has a life and has a right to think about what they want to do for themselves," she said. 'I know the show is big, and it has given recognition to many actors. But at the end of the day, it is work. I don't feel like anybody needs to give any justification for their decision to leave the show." Responding to reports that several actors left due to issues with the show's production team, Nidhi added, 'Aisi kaunsi cheez hoti hai jo sirf acchi hai? Every coin has two sides. Everybody is trying to do their best. I really don't know what to say on this. I chose what I chose when I thought the time was right. And I have just moved on in life." Her comments come at a time when the show's producer, Asit Kumarr Modi, has clarified that both Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta are still very much a part of the show. Nidhi Bhanushali played Sonu Bhide, the only daughter of Atmaram Bhide, in TMKOC. She was loved for her bubbly and cheerful portrayal before she exited the show to pursue her own path. The show, which also stars Amit Bhatt, Mandar Chandwadkar, and Sonalika Joshi, continues to be a staple in Indian households even after 17 years on air. First Published:
