Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Munmun Dutta aka Babita Iyer is currently creating a buzz on the internet. The rumors of her quitting the comedy show are doing rounds on the internet. Earlier, it was reported that she has not been coming on the sets of hit show ever since she got involved in the ‘Bhangi’ comment controversy.
And now, the actress took to her Instagram stories and denied leaving TMKOC. She wrote, “The past 2-3 days, few things were falsely reported which has negative implications on my life. It’s totally untrue that I DID NOT report to work. The reality was, whatever story was written, did not require my presence. Thus, I was not called to shoot from the production’s side. I do not decide which scenes or storyline. Production does. If I am not required in the scenes, I obviously do not go to shoot…”
“My social media has pictures from my travels or photoshoots. My face is already synonymous with the character I have played in the show for years, thus I really strive hard for people to know the real me. Whether they like me or not, that’s their choice but I would appreciate if people knew me, Munmun Dutta, the individual,” she added.
Concluding her note she further wrote, “Also, if and when I quit, I will declare it myself because I believe the fans of the show, who are emotionally attached to it, deserves to know the truth rather than speculations. Thank you.”
On the other hand, Dilip Joshi aka Jethalal Champaklal Gada has also been making buzz because of his rumored rift with his co-stars Shailesh Lodha aka Taarak Mehta, and Raj Anadkat aka Tapu. Speaking to an e-portal, Dilip Joshi said, “We have been working together for 13 years now. When people talk about a rift, I just laugh it off. Just because someone wants to write something to grab eyeballs on social media, they cook up a story. I don’t even feel like clarifying things now or stating that all is well. We are a great team, which is why the show is doing so well. I am comfortable working with my co-actors and the entire team. That is probably why I have not thought about doing anything else. My character and my team keep me going.”
For the unversed, Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the longest-running sitcoms which air on Sony SAB, produced by Asit Kumar Modi.
