What is the real story behind the ongoing replacement drama in Sab TV's Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah.
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmah is one of the most popular shows on SAB TV, with their key actors always being Dilip Joshi and Disha Wakani.
During the five years long journey the show never saw any replacements
at all, but then for the first time Roshan Singh Sodhi aka Jennifer Mistry Bansiwala was replaced as well as Sodi (Gurucharancharan Singh) was replaced.
We already know that Jennifer is expecting her first baby and there were some creative differences between Gurucharan Singh
and Asit Modi. However, fans are creating trouble for both the actors
who are being again and again questioned as people feel they have left
the show and it wasn't the production house who asked them to leave.
Now we hear that there's a different story to the entire episode.
Our
source informs us that, "Jennifer and Gurucharan were not removed from
the show but it was production call to replace them. It so happened that
as Gurucharan Singh
used to usually take care of the artists he was told by the people of
the production unit that they are into cost cutting and Gurucharan has
no right to interfere at all in this entire business. Gururcharan used
to even get lunch box for the spot boys which didn't go well with
producer Asit Modi at all. Guruchran and Asit Modi also had a fight over
the contract as Gurucharan never wanted to sign a contract."
The
source continued on the matter saying, "Things went sour when Asit Modi
the Producer in his ego decided that he will not let Gurucharan do the
show at any cost and he decided to replace Gurucharan by all means.
During all the meetings Gurucharan would be humiliated to the core."
Talking
about Jennifer our source says, "Jennifer is pregnant but she did not
leave the show because she is expecting but because she was told by the
producer to leave."
Asit Modi only cares about the two leads of the show Dilip Joshi
and Disha Vakhani says the source, "The stars of the show are the two
leads and he doesn't care whatever happens to other the actors who are
quite miffed. Asit's ego hassles on the sets has lead to creative
differences with his writers as well and because of that the writers too
have left the show."
"We heard that his accountant also left him who was his right hand but Asit Modi doesn't care till he has Dilip Joshi
and Disha Vakahni as they he feels they are makers and breakers of the
show. The success of Asit Modi has made him rude, adamant and he has
been removing people from the show" ended the source.
When
we heard this story from our source we decided to talk to all parties
concerned as only then it would be justified. When contacted Jennifer,
she said, "Although I am pregnant I am fit and fine in my seventh
month now. I would love to work, but it was the production house's call
to replace me. I would like to tell all my fans that I love the show,
Taarak Mehta... and I would have loved to continue."
Gururcharan
Singh too said that he didn't want to quit, "Differences do happen, but
they are sorted out as well. I didn't want to leave the show, but my
replacement was decided by the production people. Amidst all this I have
learnt a lot and would thank all my fans for loving and supporting me."
We
also spoke to writer Rajan Uphadaya who said, "Creative difference are
part and parcel of life and that happens in every production house. It's
quite common and there were some issues, but then one has to move on
and yes in every show there is always an important character but yes,
for me all the actors and charterers are equally important."
Producer
Asit Modi denied all the allegations saying, "I don't know from where
these allegations are coming from. I have seen success way back and as
far as Taarak Mehta… is concerned there are many new actors that I have
roped in and, apart from Dilip Joshi
none of them are experienced. For me this show is supreme, and I know
what a team is, I don't care what others think, I have always been
positive and shall be! The actors who are accusing me that I am egoistic
have tasted success for the first time and not me. Replacements happen
due to circumstances and it's been after four years that we decided to
replace these actors."
He went on to justify, "I
have made the show for my audience and I am answerable to my channel
head. It's not just that only my leads are important… it's a team that
makes a show popular and not just one person. Talking about the writers
leaving the show there are some who have left but I still have a team of
writers who happily work with me. I am positive and I don't want to
comment anything further."
Well here's wishing team Taarak… all the glory and success!
