Earlier, there were reports mentioning that actor Shailesh Lodha who essayed the role of Taarak Mehta in the longest-running show has quit Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Well, post the news broke out, neither the actor nor the producer of the show, Asit Modi spoke about it until now. We recently stumbled upon a video of Asit on social media where he is seen breaking his silence on Shailesh Lodha’s exit from the show.
In the video, Modi is heard saying that his only aim is to keep everyone together but mentioned that they are some who don’t want to limit themselves to TMKOC and have an urge to try something else. However, he also mentioned that no matter what, the show will not stop running.

Asit Modi is heard saying in Hindi, “Dekhiye jaise maine pehle bhi kaha hai, mai sabko sath me jod ke rakhna chahta hu. Lekin agar koi log ana hi nahi chahte, unka pet bhar gaya ho, unko lagta ho humne bohot kuch kar lia, aur kuch karna chahiye, humko sirf TMKOC tak seemit nahi rehna, wo nahi samajhna chahte, mai fir bhi unko kehta hu ki bhai sochiye samajhiye. Lekin agar nahi aayenge toh, jarur, show rukega nahi. (See I have said this before also that I want to keep everyone and everything together. But there are a few people who do not want to come back, they don’t have the hunger, and they don’t want to limit themselves to TMKOC. They don’t want to understand this. I want them to think again because without them the show will not stop).“
In May, ETimes reported that Shailesh Lodha stopped shooting for the show, citing that he was not very happy with his contract.
