In May, television actor and poet, Shailesh Lodha has quit the mega hit reality serial Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. On the other hand, the TMKOC team was brisk enough to find a replacement for Lodha. Sachin Shroff has been finalized for the role. Recently, Lodha has dropped a post on his official Instagram handle which seemingly disparages the producer of the show Asit Kumarr Modi. The former also bluntly hinted through his post that he is not planning to get back to sitcom, which has brought disappointment for his fans.
“ये भी सुन लीजिये….”औरों के हक़ का जोड़ा सब उसने किसी के मन से जुड़ कर नहीं देखा, इस बात से ही फितरत पता चलती है उसकी जिसने भी उसे छोड़ा, मुड़ कर नहीं देखा ” #शैलेशकीशैली” the actor mentioned in the caption.
While the regular observers of the show urged Lodha to have patience and give it a second thought. “Aapki shaili ka sidha nishana Asit Modi per hai aur ho bhi kyu na usne aapke svaabhimaan ko thes pahunchai hai (Your couplet seems to be a direct target at Asit Modi and why not, he had hurt your self-esteem),” a follower wrote. “Greetings sir, I don’t like to watch the show without you in it. Sir, I have a question, is everything fine between you and Dilip sir? Please tell me sir, can’t see our two most favourite actors like this,” a fan added. A chunk of followers expressed their displeasure to see Shroff substituting the Lodha.
Asit Modi has earlier opened up in an interview to Indian Express about actors leaving the show. He averred, “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 simit nahi rehna, wo nahi samajhna chahte, mai fir bhi unko kehta hu ki bhai sochiye samajhiye (I want to work with everyone, bring them together. But if someone doesn’t want to return, their desires are fulfilled and they believe they’ve achieved a lot, or if they want to not stay limited to TMKOC… I still request them to think and understand)”.
