‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ has been a beloved show for both kids and adults since it first aired in 2008. For 16 years, it has entertained viewers with its funny and relatable stories. It’s one of the longest-running shows on Indian television, and a big part of its success comes from the talented cast. However, in recent years, the show has made headlines for a different reason: some of its key actors have left, including Bhavya Gandhi, who played Tappu, the son of Jethalal and Daya. Bhavya’s departure surprised many fans, and now he has shared the reason why he decided to leave.
Bhavya Gandhi’s Reason for Leaving
In an interview with Tele Talk, Bhavya Gandhi opened up about why he left the show. He said, “At that time, I was very scared. I didn’t know what I was thinking, but I was worried about my future and my personal growth.” Bhavya mentioned that the show’s makers were very supportive. They told him that whether he stayed or left, they would always support him. Despite this support, Bhavya decided it was time to move on.
The Long Notice Period
Bhavya also shared that he didn’t leave the show right away. He served a notice period of nine months instead of the usual three months. This was because he was very confused about what to do. The producer and other team members tried to convince him to stay, but Bhavya wanted to explore new opportunities. After much thinking and a lot of discussions, he finally decided to leave the show in 2017 to try new things.
Bhavya’s New Journey in Films
After playing Tappu for nine years, Bhavya started his journey in the world of Gujarati cinema. He has worked in several Gujarati films, and his new film, “Ajab Raat Ni Gajab Vaat,” is set to release on November 15. Bhavya recently shared the teaser of the film, and fans are excited to see him in a new role.
