We have a sad news to share. 

The very well-known Indian columnist, humorist and writer Taarak Mehta passed away today morning. 

The late Taarak Mehta was best known for his  column ‘Duniya Na Undha Chasma’ and became a household name through SABTV's Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, a show in which his writings found shape in small screen imagery. 

The producer of Taarak Mehta Asit Modi confirmed the news and shared, "Yes, Taarak sir is no more with us. Due to health issues and old age he breathed his last today morning in Ahemdabad." 

May his soul rest in peace!
