Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: Did You Know? Raj Anadkat Had First Auditioned For Tapu’s Friend & Got Rejected!

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a game-changer for actors. The latest example is of Sunayana Fozdar, who has achieved a whole new level of fame after being cast as Anjali Bhabhi. But did you know? Raj Anadkat had auditioned for Tapu’s friend years before and had faced rejection? Read on for insider details!

As we know, Bhavya Gandhi left TMKOC back in 2017. The child artist was being offered a lot of films and decided to try his acting chops in movies. He had already bagged a Gujarati film before leaving the show. Later, it was announced that Raj will be replacing him as Tapu.

But the journey for Raj Anadkat wasn’t easy. The actor had already years back auditioned for the role of Tapu’s friend. The Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah himself revealed it to SpotboyE last year. “Five years back, I had gone for an audition at their Kandivali set. It was for playing Tapu’s friend but I didn’t get selected. I remember when I went their everyone including Daya, Jetha, Iyer, Dr. Hathi whole gang of Tapu Sena was present on the set. I was mesmerized seeing all of them together, after all, it is such a famous show. But I didn’t get the opportunity to go and click photos with them which made my mother really upset.”
