Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: CONFIRMED! THIS Actor Replaces Raj Anadkat As New Tapu In Dilip Joshi’s Show

SAB TV's Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmah, produced by Asit Modi, premiered in July 2008 and has been faring well on the TRP charts since then. While the hit sitcom is all set to complete 15 years later this year, many actors have left it in the past few months for different reasons.

In December last year, Raj Andakat confirmed his exit from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. The actor, who replaced Bhavya Gandhi as Jethalal's son Tapu, remained part of it for several years. Taking to social media, he announced his exit and left the loyal viewers sad.

On his social media account, Raj wrote, "Hello everyone, it's time to lay all questions and speculation to rest. My association with Neela Film Productions and 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' has officially ended. It has been a wonderful journey of learning, making friends, and having some of the best years of my career."

Months after Raj bid goodbye to the highest-rated comedy show, the makers have finally found his replacement. Yes, you read that right! Reportedly, actor Nitish Bhaluni is all set to enter Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah as the new Tapu.

According to an ETimes report, he has already started shooting for the successful show and will soon be introduced as new Tapu. However, an official announcement is still awaited.

For the unversed, Bhavya Gandhi was the first actor who played Tapu in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. From 2008 to 2017, he essayed the character and won many hearts with his cute and funny antics. Later, in 2017, Raj Anadkat replaced him and played the role for around five years. Now, it'll be interesting to see if Nitish will be able to do justice to the part or not.
