Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Sonu Bhide has been played by two artists, and they both are distinctly different. Let's see how.
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is the longest-running sitcom, and every character involved in the show is equally popular. During this tenure, there are few artists who have left the show, and the characters were played by other actors. One of the favourite characters is Sonu Bhide. This character has been played by three actresses, Jheel Mehta, Nidhi Bhanusali, and Palak Sindwani. Jheel was the OG Sonu, Nidhi replaced Jheel, and Palak steeped in as Sonu when Nidhi decided to quit the show. However, we are here to discuss Jheel and Palak. Let's see how different they are in real life. (All images source: Nidhi Bhanusali, Jheel Mehta Instagram)
