Dilip Joshi, known for playing the role of Jethalal Champaklal Gada in the popular sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, was involved in a major argument with the show’s maker Asit Kumar Modi recently. News18 Showsha has exclusively learnt that the incident took place in early August. We learnt that Dilip and Asit got into a heated argument on sets over permission to take a few days off. An insider told us that Dilip reached out to Asit regarding the request to take a few days off but the creator seemingly avoided the conversation. This left the actor offended. He almost had a physical altercation with him.
“It was the last day of Kush Shah’s shoot. Dilip ji was waiting for Asit bhai to come and talk to him about his leaves. But when Asit bhai came, he directly went to meet Kush. This disappointed Dilip ji,” a source close to the show’s production told us.
“Dilip ji got very angry and the two got into a heated argument. Dilip ji even held Asit Modi’s collar and threatened to leave the show. However, Asit bhai calmed him down. We don’t know how to two sort their differences,” the insider added.
The insider also told us that this was not the first time Dilip Joshi and Asit Modi had an altercation on the sets of the popular sitcom. The two often get into heated arguments. We also learnt that even during the Hong Kong trip shoot of the show, a massive fight erupted between the two when Gurucharan Singh Sodhi helped them resolve differences.
