Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma To Go Off Air? Makers Clarify

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) wants a ban on the show as it has hurted the sentiments of the community. They said the show has performed blasphemous acts as it allegedly depicted a living character of tenth Sikh Guru Gobind Singh, which was against the Sikh tenets.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma‘s makers, after noticing the ire from Sikh community, have now released an official statement. The statement reads the makers never intended to hurt sentiments of any cast. They also mention how much they respect Sikhism.

“Roshan Singh Sodhi was shown as Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Ka Khalsa, which has been justified through the dialogues & his performance. We have always believed in equality of all the religions & have never intended to hurt the sentiments of anyone. Our show consists of people from varied religions and cultures who worship each God and celebrate each and every festival with equal respect & happiness. We are aware & respect that in Sikh religion nobody can show or portray themselves as Guru Gobind Singh Ji. We request our viewers not to misinterpret it any other context,” said Asit Kumarr Modi, the producer and creator of the show. The above statement was quoted by The Quint.

On this issue, the SGPC chief Kirpal Singh Badungar had said, “No actor or any character can equate himself with the tenth Sikh Guru Gobind Singh. Such an act is unpardonable.”

It is to be seen now what will be an end to this. But Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma fans are definitely not liking this.
