Munmun Dutta to Jheel Mehta: When Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Actors Made News for Their Personal Lives
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been a hit show for 16 years, combining humor with meaningful messages. It has introduced some unforgettable characters to Indian TV. Even though some well-known actors have left, the show still gets high ratings.
The show’s success isn’t just because of the episodes but also because of its cast. These actors have often been in the news for their personal lives. Here are some times when Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah cast members made headlines:
Munmun Dutta and Raj Anadkat Dating Rumors:
Munmun Dutta, famous for her role as Babita Ji, and Raj Anadkat, who played Tapu, were rumored to be in a relationship. The rumors caused a lot of buzz, and soon, there were even reports of a secret engagement.
However, both of them spoke out to clear things up. Munmun called the rumors “ridiculous” and “fake,” while Raj said they were “false and baseless.” Munmun shared a long Instagram post, saying, “Putting things straight again! Not engaged, not married, not pregnant. Also, if and when I do marry, whether it’s to a younger or older man, I will do it proudly. That’s my Bengali genes.”
Jheel Mehta’s Response to Body-Shaming on Social Media:
Jheel Mehta, who played Sonu Bhide from 2008 to 2012, faced body-shaming comments online under one of her social media posts. People criticized her teeth, makeup, and acne. Some even called her “skinny” and “too tall” for her age.
Jheel responded with a note that said, “I wish I heard this song by @avantinagral as a teenager. It took me a long time to accept myself and feel confident. As long as I like and accept who I am, what others say DOES NOT matter.”
Munmun Dutta Hurting Religious Sentiments:
Munmun Dutta got into legal trouble when she used a disrespectful word in a video, which hurt the feelings of a particular community. Dalit rights activist Rajat Kalsan filed a complaint against her, and she was charged under the SC-ST POA Act.
Munmun later explained that she didn’t know the meaning of the word and used it because of a “language barrier.” She then made a public apology to end the issue.
Priya Ahuja Trolled:
Priya Ahuja, who played Rita Reporter, was trolled for showing her bra strap in a bold Instagram picture. Some people posted rude comments. But her husband, Malav Rajda, defended her by responding, “Say this to your mom or sister and see how they react.”
Bhavya Gandhi’s Crisis During COVID-19:
Bhavya Gandhi, who became famous as Tapu, went through a tough time when he lost his father to COVID-19. His father fought the virus for over 10 days at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Ambani Hospital before passing away.
These moments show that the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actors are often in the news, not just for their roles but for their real lives too.
