Ever since the regulatory from the Maharashtra Government has been issued to the producers for starting the shoot, a clause which has created a bit of a trouble in the process is that kids and senior citizens won't be allowed to shoot. Citing the same reason, many shows which were based on young kids have also gone off-air.
Similarly, since many days speculations are riff that whether Nattu Kaka's character in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashamah, who is loved by the audience a lot, will be continued or not? And now, SpotboyE.com exclusively spoke to the senior actor and here's what Ghanashyam Nayak told us.
As per government regulations, senior citizens will not be allowed to shoot. So are you going to continue TMKOC?
I will continue with the show as I am capable and very healthy. And nothing has been conveyed by the producers to me, so, I am very much part of it and will always be. Ever since this news has spread that due to government rules I may not shoot for the show, a lot of messages have come from my fans and well-wishers that the show will be incomplete without you. Nattu Kaka ko Taarak Mehta mein hona hi chahiye.
Are you ready to risk your health and shoot as cases are increasing day by day?
Yes, I am ready because if I will not act, I may die. As an artist, I want to work till last day of my life. Due to God's grace, I am well to do and have a big happy family around me but the idea of not shooting makes me feel depressed. And even at the age of 75, I am healthy enough to work. If they give me a call time for tomorrow, I will be there on the set on time to roll.
How long have you been associated to the show?
Next month I will be completing 12 years with Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmah, so you can imagine how close I am with the character and my whole team. We have completed almost 3000 episodes together.
What has producer Asit Modi told you?
He is very much ready to shoot with me but obviously he can't go against the government rule. I am the senior most artiste on the show. But I have left everything on God now, as I believe him in a lot and I am praying that they alter the rules and permit me also to shoot for the show, which is my life.
What if they don't permit you to shoot looking at your age?
This show has changed my life and the popularity it has given, makes me feel on top of the world. It's been such a long time working here that I have made everything out of it. I am so attached to the show that sometimes, I wish to take my last breath on the set.
