circle and I feel extremely happy to be a part of this show again after a
decade and meet all my co-artists. The entire team has been so supportive and

character again after 10 years. It is incredible to see Taarak Mehta Ka
Ooltah Chashmah running so strongly and I am grateful to its creator and
producer Asit Modi for re-considering me.''
