Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Cast in Controversy: Dilip Joshi (Jethalal) and Asit Modi Clash Over Leave Request.

The popular TV show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, a staple in Indian television, is once again in the spotlight. This time, the controversy surrounds a heated argument between Dilip Joshi, who plays Jethalal, and the show’s producer Asit Kumar Modi.

Jethalal’s Dispute Over Leave: Heated Argument Ensues
According to a report by News18, the incident took place in early August this year. The dispute was not over money or fees, but rather over a leave request. Sources close to the show revealed that Dilip Joshi (Jethalal) had asked Asit Modi for a few days off, but the producer delayed responding to the request. This led to a furious exchange between the two, with Joshi reportedly getting very upset over the delay.

According to a source from the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah set, a dramatic confrontation took place involving Dilip Joshi (Jethalal) and producer Asit Modi. The incident occurred on the final day of Kush Shah’s shooting. The source revealed that Dilip Joshi was waiting for Asit Modi to discuss his leave request, but instead, Modi went straight to meet Kush Shah, leaving Joshi feeling ignored and disappointed.

This led to an intense argument between Joshi and Modi, with tensions escalating to the point where Dilip Joshi reportedly grabbed Asit Modi’s collar and even threatened to leave the show.

While reports of a heated argument between Dilip Joshi (Jethalal) and producer Asit Modi surfaced, Mandar Chandwadkar, who plays the character of Bhide in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has denied the claims. In a statement to Indian Express, he dismissed the rumors saying, “No, yaar” and questioned, “What nonsense is this? Who is spreading these rumors? We are all shooting peacefully and happily.”

Previous Disputes Between Dilip Joshi and Asit Modi
However, it has been reported that this isn’t the first time such a confrontation has taken place. Sources suggest that similar tensions arose during the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah team’s trip to Hong Kong for a shoot. During that time, there were multiple arguments between Joshi and Modi, but actor Gurucharan Singh (Roshan Singh Sodhi) is said to have intervened and calmed the situation.

Several Cast Members Have Left the Show
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been running successfully for over 16 years. Dilip Joshi, who plays Jethalal, has been a part of the show from the very beginning. However, several key cast members have left the show over the years, including Disha Vakani (Dayaben), Raj Anadkat (Tapu), Bhavya Gandhi (Old Tapu), Gurucharan Singh (Roshan Singh Sodhi), and Jennifer Mistry (Roshan Bhabhi).
