TMKOC's Munmun Dutta Reveals Reason For Social Media Absence: ‘Have Been In And Out Of The Hospital'
TMKOC star Munmun Dutta reveals her mother has been hospitalized for the past 10 days, shares health update, and thanks friends for their support during the challenging period.
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah star Munmun Dutta, known to millions as Babita Ji, has always been a vibrant presence on television and social media. Over the years, the actress has cultivated a massive fan following with her charming screen persona and candid glimpses into her life. However, her sudden absence from Instagram in recent days had left fans worried.
Now, Munmun has finally addressed the reason behind her silence. Taking to her Instagram Stories, the actress shared a recent selfie along with a heartfelt note revealing that her mother had been unwell.
'Have been inactive since a long time, yes. My mom is unwell. Have been in and out of the hospital since last 10 days. Improving now and will be better. It's been exhausting to juggle between professional commitments and personal life. But grateful for my wonderful friends who were a huge support. God is great," she wrote.
Munmun disclosed that her mother had been admitted for the past ten days, and she herself had been shuttling between home, the hospital, and her work obligations. The good news, she assured her followers, is that her mother is now on the road to recovery.
Fans of the actress will recall that she had recently been on a picturesque European vacation, sharing dreamy glimpses from her travels. Those sunny updates were soon replaced by silence, prompting her loyal followers to wonder if all was well. With her latest update, Munmun not only put their concerns to rest but also expressed gratitude for the support she has received from close friends during this challenging time.
For nearly two decades, Munmun Dutta has been a beloved fixture in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, portraying Babita Ji with her trademark blend of elegance, wit, and warmth. Her on-screen camaraderie with Dilip Joshi's Jethalal remains one of the sitcom's most popular dynamics, and her character has long been a household name in Indian television.
Beyond her work on TMKOC, Munmun is also a familiar face in the digital space. She actively engages with her audience through brand endorsements, lifestyle updates, and travel diaries on Instagram. While she is often open about her professional journey, she keeps her personal life guarded, preferring privacy when it comes to matters of the heart.
For now, fans are relieved to hear that her mother is on the mend, and many have flooded social media with wishes for her speedy recovery. Munmun's update serves as a reminder that even in the glittering world of entertainment, celebrities too grapple with personal struggles — and the importance of empathy and support cannot be overstated.

Taylor Swift To Announce 12th Album On Travis Kelce's Podcast? NFL Star Drives Swifties Wild
Last Updated: Swifties go into overdrive as Travis Kelce's podcast teases a 'special guest' and Taylor Nation drops 12 cryptic orange photos, hinting at her 12th album reveal. Taylor Swift fans are in full detective mode after Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce hinted at a 'VERY special guest" for their New Heights podcast. The announcement, paired with Taylor Nation's mysterious post of 12 orange-themed images just minutes later, has set social media ablaze with speculation about Swift's highly anticipated 12th studio album. The timing has only fuelled the excitement. The teased episode drops Wednesday, August 13 — Taylor's favourite number — with the social media clues landing on August 12. Many fans believe this could be the perfect setup for a major reveal. The Clues That Have Swifties Buzzing In the teaser shared on X, Travis, 35, is seen grinning at a blacked-out silhouette, while Jason, 37, sports a navy blue Eras Tour shirt. Fans immediately dissected every detail — from Travis' expression to the sparkly orange backdrop — connecting the imagery to Swift's branding. 🚨| This seems to be the picture from the thumbnail!!! — Taylor Swift Edits (@TSwiftEdits_13) August 11, 2025 One user posted: 'YALL WEARING TAYLOR SHIRTS. The background is sparkly orange. Oh my god." Another added: 'The Midnights shirt…the look on Travis' face…the silhouette…IM NOT CLOWNING YOURE CLOWNING." Swift, who has been dating Travis since 2023, has never appeared on the Kelce brothers' show but has been mentioned frequently. In September 2023, just after she attended her first Chiefs game, Travis praised her 'ballsy" move, saying everyone in the suite had only glowing things to say. What Taylor Swift Fans Can Expect on August 13 The New Heights episode airs at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday. While some fans are convinced Swift will join the Kelces on-air, others think the buzz could be leading to a surprise album drop or announcement. Swift has spent much of the NFL offseason with Travis, who is preparing for his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs. Last season, she was a frequent presence at games, including the Chiefs' overtime Super Bowl win against the 49ers in February 2024. Whether it's an album announcement, an on-air appearance, or just a clever tease, Swifties are counting down the hours — and reading into every pixel and post.
