MUMBAI : Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Gurucharan Singh who played the role of Roshan Singh Sodhi has quit the show. Though rumours of the actor bidding adieu to the sitcom were doing rounds for quite some time, it looks like the actor has already said goodbye to TMKOC. Earlier, the makers and producer of TMKOC had squashed speculations of Gurucharan quitting TMKOC and claimed that he is still a part of the show. Now, the latest media reports suggest that the actor has already quit the show.
According to a recent report, Gurucharan has not resumed shooting after the lockdown. Not only this, but the report also states that Shah Rukh Khan's former co-star has been approached to essay the role. The TOI article reveals that the makers are hunting for a suitable actor to replace Taarak Gurucharan Singh as Sodhi, and they have apparently approached actor Balwinder Singh Suri for it.

Balwinder Singh Suri, who was seen with Shah Rukh Khan's Dil Toh Pagal Hai is reportedly being considered to play the 'new' Sodhi in TMKOC after Gurucharan Singh's exit. Balwinder played the role of one of SRK's friends in the movie Dil Toh Pagal Hai. If things work out well between him and the makers of TMKOC, then he might be roped in. However, nothing has been confirmed yet either by Gurucharan Singh or the makers of TMKOC.
