'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' is one of the most popular comedy shows on television. Apart from its real-life inspired storyline and characters, the show is also famous for the friendship and camaraderie between Jethalal Gada aka Dilip Joshi, and Taarak Mehta aka Shailesh Lodha who play best friends in the show.
For the past few days, there have been reports of a rift between Shailesh and Dilip, on the sets of 'Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah', which has left Shailesh surprised.
Reports have been doing rounds that Dilip and Shailesh are not talking to each other and the two actors, once best friends, now head straight to their vanity vans once their shot.
Responding to these rumours, Shailesh Lodha told the daily Dainik Bhaskar recently, "Believe me, there is nothing like that between Dilip Joshi and me. Our relationship is much stronger than our on-screen relationship. We share the same makeup room and people on the set call us 'best buddies'."
Shailesh, who has been part of 'Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah' for the last 13 years, said he has immense respect for Dilip Joshi. He said, "We might have different personalities, but one thing is common between us — humour. We have a lot of fun on the set of our show. We have been working together for so many years, but we haven’t had any clash of thoughts yet. I hope it remains the same forever."
'Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah' first went on air in 2008 on Sony SAB, and it has been one of the top-rated shows over the past 13 years. The show stars Munmun Dutta, Amit Bhatt, Raj Anadkat, Sailesh Lodha, Balwinder Singh Suri, and Sunayana Fozdar among others. Disha Vakani, who essayed the role of much loved Dayaben, went on a maternity break in 2017 and has not returned since.
