“Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah” is one of the longest-running sitcoms on Indian television. In the 14 years since its run, many actors have left, and have been replaced.

However, as per the latest reports, it is being said that Sacchin Shroff has been finalised as the new Taarak Mehta.

Sacchin Shroff is a well-known name in the industry, and he has been working in the industry for many years. The makers of the show, Neela Film Productions, said of this news: “We are not denying the news, but the audience will surely be surprised.” The official handle of “Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah” uploaded a video on their YouTube hinting at a new entry in the Gokuldham Society. In this video, producer Asit Modi speaks about Ganeshotsav and its celebration in society and prays for everyone’s well-being.
