Sony
SAB’s
Taarak
Mehta
Ka
Ooltah
Chashmah
is
one
of
the
longest-running
sitcoms
on
Indian
Television.
The
popular
show
enjoys
a
massive
fan
following
and
has
managed
to
enthral
the
viewers
for
more
than
a
decade
with
its
humour
and
characters.
However,
the
series
has
been
facing
quite
a
few
hiccups
in
recent
months.
Now,
the
latest
we
hear
is
that
Shailesh
Lodha
who
plays
Taarak
Mehta
on
the
show
has
decided
to
call
it
quits.
After
Disha
Vakani,
Neha
Mehta
and
Gurucharan
Singh,
this
happens
to
be
the
fourth
major
exit
from
the
show.
According
to
an
ETimes
TV
report,
Lodha,
who
plays
the
role
of
Jethalal's
(Dilip
Joshi)
best
friend
has
made
up
his
mind
about
quitting
the
sitcom.
Sources
close
to
the
development
have
informed
the
portal
that
Shailesh
has
not
been
shooting
for
the
show
for
a
month
and
has
no
plans
to
return
as
he
is
not
very
happy
with
his
contract.
The
report
further
states
that
the
actor
feels
that
his
dates
are
not
properly
used
in
the
show.
The
other
major
reason
for
his
decision
is
that
he
is
not
able
to
explore
other
opportunities
due
to
the
exclusivity
factor
with
Taarak
Mehta
Ka
Ooltah
Chashmah.
The
report
adds
that
the
talented
actor
has
turned
down
multiple
offers
in
recent
times
and
now
he
doesn't
want
to
waste
other
opportunities
that
keep
coming
his
way
due
to
TMKOC.
Meanwhile,
it
is
being
reported
that
the
production
house
is
trying
its
best
to
convince
Shailesh
his
change
his
decision.
However,
it
doesn’t
look
like
the
seasoned
actor
and
poet
will
change
his
mind.
