Television
actor
Kavi
Kumar
Azad
passed
away
on
July
9,
2018
after
suffering
a
cardiac
arrest.
He
played
the
role
of
Dr
Hansraj
Hathi
on
SAB
TV's
popular
show,
Taarak
Mehta
Ka
Ooltah
Chashmah
and
was
immensely
loved
by
fans.
As
soon
as
the
news
of
his
sad
demise
was
announced,
fans
and
his
industry
friends
took
to
social
media
to
express
their
grief
and
condolences.
Meanwhile,
Ardent
fans
of
the
show
might
now
be
wondering
as
to
what
will
happen
to
Dr
Hathi's
role!
Recently,
there
were
reports
that
the
makers
are
hunting
for
Dr
Hansraj
Hathi
aka
Kavi
Kumar
Azad's
replacement.
The
producer
of
the
show,
Asit
Kumarr
Modi
told
Spotboye,
"We
will
have
to
replace
Dr
Hathi,
if
you
want
to
know.
It's
the
actor
who
has
passed
away,
not
the
character."
Now,
it
is
being
said
that
the
makers
have
found
the
replacement.
Any
guess
who
might
play
Dr
Hathi's
role?
Well,
it
is
being
said
that
Nirmal
Soni,
who
was
previously
seen
as
Dr
Hathi
on
the
show,
might
return!
A
source
from
the
Taarak
Mehta
Ka
Ooltah
Chashma
was
quoted
by
IE
as
saying,
"Dr
Hathi
is
a
very
important
part
of
the
show.
The
audience
loves
him
and
so
the
makers
want
to
retain
the
character.
Producer
Asit
Kumarr
Modi
is
personally
looking
into
the
casting
and
wants
the
perfect
replacement.
While
it's
really
hard
to
find
someone
as
talented
as
Kavi,
we
are
doing
our
best.
We
should
have
a
confirmation
about
the
replacement
soon."
The
report
suggested,
"There's
also
a
probability
that
actor
Nirmal
Soni,
who
earlier
played
Dr
Hathi,
might
be
called
back." Apparently,
Nirmal
Soni
played
the
role
of
Dr
Hathi
for
a
year,
and
was
replaced
by
Kavi
Kumar
Azad
in
2009.
