Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: When Dilip Joshi Opened Up About Show's Quality, Said 'I Agree...'
Dilip Joshi acknowledged fans' concerns about the show's quality, admitting that writing daily comedy is challenging. In recent times, several loyal fans of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah have argued that the show is losing its charm. But do you know that Dilip Joshi also reacted to a social media user once who claimed that the quality of Asit Kumarr Modi's show is degrading? As reported by ETimes, Dilip Joshi, who plays the role of Jethalal in TMKOC, once shared a long note while reacting to a user who claimed that the show is no longer as fun as it used to be. Joshi explained that writing comedy isn't easy and admitted that with quantity, quality is always compromised. 'It has been 12 years, writers are also now, see normally what happens when you go for quantity then the quality shall suffer for sure. Earlier, we used to do weekly, so they would write 4 episodes and the rest was to shoot next month. So they had the whole month to write and churn out new episodes. But now, it has become more like a factory and they have to keep giving new episodes and ideas on a daily basis. So I agree, all episodes cannot be great at that level when you are doing a daily soap for such a long time. Somewhere I do feel that certain episodes are not up to the mark as far as the humour is concerned," he said. 'As an actor, even we feel that when we have the scene in our hands and see that there aren't any punches then all of us try and work it out. We try to bring out humour by doing different movements or adding something that would make something funny for the episode," the actor added. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been running successfully for 16 years now. However, in these years, several actors have also left the show. Among others, Disha Vakani, Jheel Mehta, Bhavya Gandhi, Raj Anadkat, Palak Sindhwani, Gurucharan Singh Sodhi and Neha Mehta are no longer a part of TMKOC. First Published:
