Dr. Haathi of Taarak Mehta hospitalized in real life..

Dr. Haathi aka Azad Kavi of SAB TV's Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is suffering from health problems due to his very obese structure, so much so that the actor has been hospitalized for nearly two weeks now.

According to our source, "Azad has a severe health problem because of his weight issue, and he had been in the ICU for many days. He has not been shooting for the very popular SAB TV show for the past one month. In order to give proper reasoning for his absence in the show, it will be shown in the coming episodes that Dr. Haathi goes out of town to participate in a diet program in order to reduce his weight".

When contacted, Producer Asit Modi of Neela Telefilms confirmed the news and said, "Yes, he is hospitalized, and I will get to know of his present health condition by today".

As per our source, "Azad Kavi is out of the ICU and will be discharged soon".

He is one actor who will certainly be missed in the show; we wish him a speedy recovery..
