Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a crucial part of every 2000s kid's core memory. It became a pivotal part of their daily routine, and they grew up with every passing episode, relating to and learning from the members of a society inspired by the immense knowledge of the writer, Taarak Mehta. However, as the show grew and years passed, several cast members said goodbye to the show. Now, the show's producer, Asit Kumarr Modi, has opened up about the same.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's producer, Asit Kumarr Modi recently sat for a candid conversation with Indian Express. During the chat, he opened up about cast members leaving the show, the difficulty of running such a long-format series, and more. The producer also shared that he has been in touch with the OG 'Roshan Singh Sodi,' also known as Gurucharan Singh. Asit also vowed to keep the show running till he has the energy to do so. 

During the conversation, Asit Kumarr Modi revealed that he had asked Gurucharan Singh to talk to him if there were any issues. He shared that he was in touch with the actor and what was happening with him was completely unjust. He added that he felt bad for him as Gurucharan has been facing some financial and health issues. He was quoted as saying:

"I am in touch with some people still. Whatever is happening with Gurucharanji is not nice. I feel bad for him. I have told him that he can always talk to me if there is a problem. What will I do, harbouring a grudge?"

In the same conversation, Asit Kumarr Modi revealed that it was not been easy for him to keep Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma going. He revealed that after the pandemic, some actors were hesitant to return to the show, and maintaining the same cast for 17 years had not been an easy task. He added that his heart aches everytime a cast member leaves, but he has to keep the show going. He was quoted as saying:

"Some people just left the show like that. After the COVID-19 pandemic, they didn’t want to do the show. A few others, I don’t know what happened to them. What was the misunderstanding that they left? Taking everyone along for 17 years and running the show has not been easy. I didn’t give up so easily. Whenever anyone leaves, my heart aches...People have stayed with us for 15 years, 12 years. Some left the show midway, and then came back. We let them be, letting bygones be bygones. I always think about the show first."

About Gurucharan Singh

Gurucharan Singh has been a part of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma since its inception. While he left the show midway and returned soon after, he bid farewell to the show during the COVID pandemic. The actor then made headlines in 2024 after he went missing in April. He returned to his Delhi home in May and stated that he was facing personal and professional issues, which led him to disappear and find spiritual peace. Gurucharan has since been ill and has been facing financial and health issues.
