Entertainment: The popular sitcom ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ (TMKOC) has become a show watched in every household, which has carved a special place in the hearts of the audience over the past 16 years. Each character in the show has created its own unique image, with the most loved couple being Jethalal and Babita Ji. The sweet banter between Jethalal, played by Dilip Joshi, and Babita Ji, played by Munmun Dutta, has always been loved by the audience.
However, recently, when fans noticed that these two actors were not appearing in the current episodes, there was a stir on social media. Some people even started speculating that Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta had left the show.
Why are Jethalal and Babita Ji missing?
Currently, the plot of TMKOC is centered around the story of a ‘haunted bungalow’, in which most of the members of Gokuldham Society are vacationing in a haunted mansion. Bapuji, Popatlal, Bhide, Sodhi, Anjali, Madhavi, and the rest of the members are involved in this plot, but Jethalal and Babita Ji are nowhere to be seen. This is the reason why the audience raised questions about their absence.
Meanwhile, when ABP News spoke to the production house, the truth came out. According to the report, Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta are still a part of the show and have not left TMKOC. According to the needs of the script, the distance has been created from the story of both of them for now.
What is shown in the story?
The show has explained that Jethalal has gone on a business trip, while Babita Ji and her husband Iyer are vacationing in Mahabaleshwar. That is, both characters are ‘absent’ in the story, but have not left the show. The production team has also clarified that as soon as the current haunted mansion track is completed, Jethalal and Babita Ji will make a comeback with a new twist.
Why is there so much curiosity among fans?
A major reason for the popularity of TMKOC is its b and memorable characters. The chemistry between Dilip Joshi's Jethalal and Munmun Dutta's Babita Ji has won the hearts of the audience for years. The sweet banter and innocent jokes between the two are liked by the people. In such a situation, when the two suddenly disappeared, it was natural for the fans to be worried.
People also discussed this a lot on social media, and #BringBackJethalal started trending. Many people said that the life of the show is in these two, and the fun feels incomplete without their presence.
Will the show be affected?
No major change has been seen in the TRP of TMKOC for now, but it may be difficult for the makers to run the story without Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta for a long time. The audience eagerly waits for the scenes of these two, and their return will breathe new life into the show. It is noteworthy that Dilip Joshi has been playing the role of Jethalal since the beginning of the show. Munmun Dutta has also won the hearts of the audience in the role of Babita Ji since 2008. Their chemistry is counted among the most memorable pairs in the history of Indian sitcoms.
Munmun Dutta had said in many interviews that she considers this show to be the biggest platform of her career, while for Dilip Joshi, Jethalal is his ‘dream role’. This is the reason that both of them have not yet expressed any intention of leaving the show. According to the production house, Jethalal and Babita Ji will make a grand entry with new twists in the upcoming episodes, which will bring back the liveliness to the story.
