The iconic TV show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), known for its humor and slice-of-life stories, is now making headlines for off-screen drama. Recent reports suggest that a major disagreement occurred between Dilip Joshi, who plays the beloved Jethalal, and the show’s producer, Asit Modi.
The Incident That Triggered the Fight
According to reports, the incident took place in August 2023. Dilip Joshi had reportedly asked for a few days off, but Asit Modi kept delaying the discussion. On the final day of Kush Shah’s (Goli) shoot, the tension between the actor and the producer escalated.
A source revealed that Dilip Joshi was waiting for Asit Modi to address his leave request, but instead, the producer prioritized meeting Kush Shah. This reportedly left Dilip upset, leading to a heated argument.
Rumors of a Physical Altercation
The conflict reportedly escalated to the point where Dilip Joshi grabbed Asit Modi’s collar in frustration and even threatened to quit the show. While no official confirmation has been made, the rumors have caused a stir among fans of the actor and the show.
Past Tensions Resurface
This isn’t the first time tensions between the two have been reported. Sources claim that during the Hong Kong shoot of TMKOC, a similar disagreement occurred. At that time, Gurcharan Singh Sodhi, who played Roshan Singh Sodhi, stepped in to mediate and calm the situation.
Departure of Key Cast Members
The alleged conflict adds to the growing list of controversies surrounding the show. Over the years, TMKOC has witnessed the departure of several significant cast members, including:
- Disha Vakani (Dayaben): Left in 2017 due to personal reasons.
- Bhavya Gandhi (Tapu): Exited to explore other opportunities.
- Jennifer Mistry (Roshan): Cited personal reasons for her departure.
- Raj Anadkat (Tapu): Left recently, sparking fan speculation.
Fans Concerned About Jethalal’s Future
