The actor got candid about his character in the show as he spoke exclusively to Times Of India TV: How do you feel this role is different from the ones you've played before? I've never played a character who's a mathematics genius and also street smart—a geek, yet streetwise. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He's emotionally mature but struggles to express himself clearly. This contrast, yet the realistic nature of the character, is something completely new to me, and that's what makes it so fun to play. What excites you about this role? As I mentioned, the contradictory layers of the character really excite me. I've met people like this in real life. This might be my shot at portraying a multi-layered personality on screen. Being into fitness, how do you manage time between studies, shoots, and workouts? It definitely affects your schedule, but you have to find time—either before or after shoots. I don't strictly follow a gym routine. I prefer cycling, swimming, jogging, and weightlifting. When I have late call times or an off day, I make the most of it. Saud was last seen in the mythological series Shrimad Ramayan.. he also appeared in TV shows like Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah', Pushpa Impossible, Meri Durga, Mast Mauli, Kumkum Bhagya, and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. He has also featured in popular Bollywood movies like Azhar, and Golmaal Again, among others.

Exclusive - Daya Shankar Pandey aka Inspector Chalu Pandey on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah; says 'Ye sirf ek show nahi, mere jeevan ka ek bahut hi zaruri ang hai'
Seasoned actor Daya Shankar Pandey , who is popularly known as Inspector Chulbul Pandey from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah recently opened up about his long association with show and it's producer Asit Kumarr Modi. In an exclusive chat with Times of India TV, Daya Shankar called the popular sitcom as an important part of his life. Speaking about being a part of TMKOC, Daya Shankar said, "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah sirf ek show nahi hai ye mere jeevan ka ek bahut hi zaruri ang hai (TMKOC is not just a show for me, it's a deeply important part of my life). I'm not bringing this up to place any expectations on the show's producer and creator, Asit Kumarr Modi. Our association dates all the way back to 1986, during our college years—he was my senior at the time, and we've remained in touch ever since. I must also highlight that he is a gifted performer. Choosing to step away from acting was a thoughtful move on his part, perhaps even guided by fate. He was truly talented, having earned multiple accolades in inter-college drama competitions." Daya Shankar Pandey, known for his roles in numerous hit Bollywood films, also spoke about a pivotal moment in Asit Kumarr Modi's journey. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust! Expertinspector Click Here Undo He shared that directing a stage play marked a significant turning point in Modi's career. He shared, "Asit Kumarr Modi was my senior in college. After he graduated, we continued participating in inter-college drama competitions. I remember one particular day — I was rehearsing for a college play, but we didn't have a director. We never had the budget to hire directors from outside. That day, Asit ji came to see the rehearsals. He was just watching from the side, observing the process closely. He once told to me, 'Pandey, should I direct you?' At that time, we didn't have the budget to hire a professional director, and since he had the experience, being my senior, I agreed immediately. I told him, 'Yes, go ahead and direct.' He ended up directing that play, which was titled Bhikhmange, written by Sudhir Kodi ji. It turned out to be a major success and received several awards across inter-college drama competitions, including Best Director and Best Play. That play became a turning point for him, and as you can see today, he's successfully running Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Sometimes I jokingly feel a bit envious that he gave up on acting to become a producer. Maybe if I had taken a similar path, I'd be in a comfortable position too (laughs)." For those who might not know, Inspector Chalu Pandey first joined Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah in 2010. He made his debut during a memorable plotline where Jethalal, Sodhi, Iyer, and Nattu Kaka were wrongly accused and arrested in connection with a car theft. This marked the beginning of the character's recurring presence in the show. Video: Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (Promo)

Watch: Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Highlights Cyber Fraud In New Episode
Last Updated: The upcoming episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah will see the residents becoming victims of a cyber scam. The latest episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah saw the residents of Gokuldham Society participating in an exciting bumper investment scheme. The residents, lured by the promise of substantial returns within a year, seemed excited about taking the bold step, unaware of what was coming their way. The upcoming episode of the popular sitcom will see them becoming a victim of a cyber scam as they face significant financial losses amounting to millions of rupees. The narrative unfolds in the absence of Jethalal, who encountered an obstacle while trying to finish his investment in the previous episode. As he proceeded to make the payment, the system began buffering, preventing him from being a participant in the scheme. While he wonders whether he will be able to get past his mistake, others celebrate in joy, considering the scheme a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to earn a substantial profit. In the past episodes, the residents of the society were excited by the booming investment scheme, hoping to double their money in a short period of time. Convinced that this 'Bumper Munafa Fund" is the most secure way to fulfil their aspirations, the community was seen trying different methods to gather money. While Iyer was still hesitant, Roshan and Mr Hathi were eager to make significant investments, expecting huge returns. Taarak too was assured that the opportunity would prove to be fruitful. However, his wife was sceptical about taking the risk to invest their hard-earned money. Meanwhile, Babita, eager to seize the opportunity, encouraged everyone to keep their money ready. Then comes the Paiso ki Baarish meeting, which kicks off with the announcement of an exciting investment scheme. Maya urges everyone to invest, emphasising the urgency to invest before the batch reaches its capacity, asserting that no contributions will be accepted after that. Her announcement prompts activity among the residents and they quickly secure their spots. Beyond serving a dose of laughter, the episode aims to raise awareness about cyber scams and the importance of vigilance against online fraud which has been on the rise for the last few years. Catch the full episode tonight at 8:30 PM on SAB TV. The show is available for streaming on Sony LIV. First Published:
