Talking about this, Dilip Joshi had said, ‘Man ho to achcha, man ka na ho to or achcha. The best way to stay away from stress is to let things go as they are, and keep working hard. Usually, we are stressed because we keep thinking about the future, and when something does not happen according to our planning, we get tense. That’s why I follow this in my life. I heard this from Amitabh Bachchan ji in an interview many years ago.’

Dilip Joshi further said, ‘If I talk about ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’, I had got a very good role before that. At that time, I was in great need of work because I was sitting idle for one and a half years. Even after 20-24 years of experience in this field, I had no work. During the same time, I got a very attractive offer, but for some reason it did not work. I was thinking that friend, what is God testing me at such a moment? But soon I got TMKOC, and at that time I realized that when God makes plans for you, it is good.’
