In the midst of it all, the actor who played the titular character Taarak Mehta has now opened up about his real-life bond with his co-star Dilip Joshi.
For the unversed, Joshi plays the role of Jethalal Gada in the show who is best friends with Taarak Mehta. In a recent interview with Lallantop, Lodha opened up about his friendship with his reel-life best friend and shared that they hardly ever meet up as they are too busy in their lives working.
