Ghanshyam Couldn’t Return To Shoot

However, the actor is hopeful to return to the show soon.

The Actor Says…

Regarding his health, Ghanshyam had told Spotboye, "I have been hospitalised since two days now and today (September 7, 2020) at 3 my surgery will take place. A lump was detected in my neck sometime back but it's been increasing and that is making me feel uneasy."

The Actor Is Hopeful To Return To The Show Soon

When asked if he is planning to take a break from the show, he said, "You know how desperate I was to get back to the work but unfortunately because of my health I couldn't join the show. My producer Asit Modi had reached out to me for making a comeback during Ganpati special shoot but I had to go for this surgery. So, I requested him to give me a month's time and he agreed to it. In fact, he is the one who told me your health is our priority and also offered financial help. I am sure I will be fine and resume work by Navratri."
