Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Ambika Ranjankar Breaks Silence On Exit Buzz
Rumours about the actress quitting started when fans saw Ambika's character was missing from the show. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, one of Indian television's longest-running sitcoms, has lately made headlines for celebrating its 17th anniversary and introducing new characters. Amid all of this, reports have circulated that Ambika Ranjankar, who plays Mrs. Hathi, may leave the show. It all started when fans saw Ambika's character was missing from the show. This prompted speculation regarding her departure from the show. Now, the actress cleared the air and denied reports about her departure. During a conversation with Tellychakkar, the actress denied all rumours about her exit and said, 'No, I haven't quit the show. I am very much a part of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah." When asked about her sudden disappearance from the recent episodes, the actress shared, 'Well, for some personal reasons, I was away. I needed some time for myself." Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's New Storyline Earlier, another report by ETimes mentioned that Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's new storyline will see a Rajasthani family set to join the Gokuldham society. According to reports, the new family's head is a businessman and fans are eager to find out if he will compete with Jethalal, who heads Gada Electronics. The production house has yet to divulge the specific episode in which the new family will appear on the show. Reportedly, actors Dharti Bhatt, Kuldeep Gor, Akshaan Sehrawat and Maahi Bhadra will be seen as Rupa Baditop, Ratan Binjola, Veer and Bansari. While other details are being kept under wraps, one thing is certain: they are planning a new story loaded with TMKOC's typical humour, funny misunderstandings and, of course, their cultural flavour. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Ensemble Cast Asit Kumar Modi created and produced Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, which premiered on Sony SAB in 2008. Since then, several popular faces have been part of the show including Joshi as Jethalal, Amit Bhatt as Champaklal Jayantilal Gada, Tanuj Mahashabde as Krishnan Subramaniam Iyer, Munmun Dutta as Babita Krishnan Iyer, Mandar Chandwadkar as Aatmaram Tukaram Bhide, Sonalika Joshi as Madhavi Aatmaram Bhide and Ambika Ranjankar as Komal Hansraj Hathi.

It is worth noting that the production house of the show has not officially announced the details of the new family and has kept the details under wraps. However, some pictures from the sets of TMKOC, which were shared by the above-mentioned outlet, showed the families of the neighbourhood welcoming the new ones with great enthusiasm and open arms. The photos showed that the cast and crew were shooting the grand entry of the Rajasthani family. One of them captured the family of four riding camels, decorated in traditional Rajasthani style. The woman wearing a yellow kurta set was seen riding a camel with their son, whereas the man dressed in a blue t-shirt and black pants was seen with their daughter. The production house is yet to reveal the exact episode in which the brand-new family will be seen in the show or the actors portraying the new characters. While the details remain under wraps, one thing is for sure that they are set to bring a fresh storyline filled with TMKOC's classic humour, funny misunderstandings, and, obviously, their cultural flavour.
