SAB TV’s long-running sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is again in the spotlight for an intense altercation between its lead actor, Dilip Joshi, and producer Asit Kumar Modi.
It was reported that Dilip Joshi, fondly known as Jethalal, confronted Asit Modi after a long-standing issue regarding leave escalated. Joshi had reportedly requested time off in August, but the producer repeatedly ignored his request. When Modi visited the sets, Joshi attempted to address the matter, but his efforts were dismissed, leading to a heated exchange. During the argument, tensions reportedly flared, so Joshi gripped Modi by the collar in frustration.
After the news went viral Dilip Joshi had dismiss the news and called it a baseless rumour. In an official statement the actor stated that
I just want to clear the air about all these rumors going around. There have been some stories in the media about me and Asit Bhai that are completely false, and it really saddens me to see such things being said. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a show that means so much to me and millions of fans, and when people spread baseless rumors, it hurts not only us but also our loyal viewers.
It’s disheartening to see negativity being spread about something that has brought so much joy to so many for so many years. Every time such rumors pop up, it feels like we’re constantly explaining that they are completely untrue. It’s tiring, and it’s frustrating because it’s not just about us—it’s about all the fans who love the show and get upset reading these things.
Earlier, there were even rumors about me leaving the show, which is completely false. And now, it feels like every few weeks, there’s another new story trying to defame Asit Bhai and the show in some way. It’s disappointing to see such things popping up again and again, and sometimes, I can't help but wonder if some people are just jealous of the show’s continued success.
I don’t know who is behind spreading these stories, but I want to say this clearly: I'm here, I’m working every day with the same love and passion for the show, and I’m not going anywhere. I’ve been a part of this wonderful journey for so long, and I will continue to be a part of it.
We all stand together in our commitment to make this show the best it can be, and I just wish the media would take a moment to verify the facts before printing such hurtful stories. Let’s focus on the positivity and joy that this show brings to so many. Thank you to our fans for always supporting us—it really means the world.
