Gurucharan Singh, best known for his role as Roshan Singh Sodhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has been battling major health problems. The actor was recently hospitalised owing to a critical ailment, which has left his fans quite concerned. Gurucharan’s close buddy, Bhakti Soni, claimed that after returning home in May 2024, he has ceased eating solid meals. However, in a much-needed good development, he has now agreed to resume eating, indicating a promising step in his recovery. Now, in an exclusive conversation with Times Of India TV, the actor got candid about his health and financial condition. He even shared how he had asked Taarak Mehta’s producer Asit Modi for work in the production.
Gurucharan Singh Sodhi has also been troubled by rumours circulating about him. The “Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah” actor explained, “Actually, I wanted to wish everyone a happy Gurpurab. I was supposed to go to the Gurudwara that day, but my health took a turn for the worse, and I was admitted to the hospital. When I regained consciousness, the doctor had given me glucose. At that moment, I felt I should wish all my fans. I did so, and my video went viral. I was unaware of all the commotion. I do everything from the heart, but people misinterpret it.”
He further shared, “One news report claimed I was very unprofessional on the ‘Taarak Mehta’ set. I was very angry after reading that. I have dedicated 13-14 years to this show and have worked wholeheartedly. Even when you have a broken back and are in the hospital, you are still working. To have such things written about you during such a time is very upsetting. Spirituality helped me through it. I calmly read the report, which stated that a ‘source’ had said this, but no name was mentioned. At the time, Asit Bhai was unavailable, so I called the creative head, Sohail, directly and asked if anything like this had ever happened to him. He said no. I then told him that he would have to do a live session with me and confirm that I am a professional actor. Otherwise, I would assume the news originated from him. Sohail agreed, did a live session with me, and stated the truth. That matter ended there. For me, my work is my worship. You cannot falsely accuse someone.”
Is Gurcharan Singh back in action? He said, “I am excited for my second innings and what I missed the most was making people laugh and entertain them. And when I was not working I connected with the almighty’”
So what was going on in your mind when you disappeared to which he said, “Mere dimag mein prabhu se milna hai. A lot of things happen but I am someone who runs away from suicide. And advice everyone and tell them it is wrong and rab ko ek hi cheez pasand nahi hai who hai aatma hatya.’’ So what was that one thing that changed in you? He said, “Change is connected with the Almighty.”
Your audiences of Tarak Mehta are missing you, to which he said, “My audience misses me and loves me but Asit bhai and I have the same viewpoint ballu has already worked there for four years and it does not look nice to replace him. I don’t want to take away anyone’s livelihood.”
He added, “I had told Asit Bhai to give me some work in production. I can go and talk to the artiste about the problem they face I can handle that being an artiste I know what I would what is the problem so that I handle it in such a way that the artist doesn’t leave the show.”
When asked about Bhakti Soni who has been a big support system for him, Gurucharan added, “I have just got a brand endorsement and Bhaktiji has got it at the right time.”
“Bhakti is a special friend and has supported me and continues to support this is a relief but I need to get such relief every month and it is important that income has to be generated every month. Like how Mr Bachchan got KBC about 25 years ago when he was in financial trouble he survived because it became a continuous thing for him,” the actor quipped.
Further, Gurucharan shared, “I am open to being a judge in a reality show or participating in a reality show and I know people want to see me. I am looking for good work and my audience and a new audience who I have found to enjoy and respect my audience Tarak Mehta was successful because the entire family could sit together and watch. I have debt on me. The debt is a lot and everyone has their own families I have created the debt I only need to clear it.”
