Meanwhile, Palak Sidhwani, who plays the role of Bhide in the popular sitcom, revealed her father’s first reaction to joining the show. Talking to Telly Chakkar, she said, “My father turned towards me and asked me if I have bagged a job at their office as he was unaware of my passion for acting. All three of us smiled at his question and explained to him that I’ll be seen in the show as Sonu Bhide. My father was a bit shocked and deep within though that probably it is some sort of a prank or it won’t materialise. It is only when he saw me on Television sets that he came to terms that his daughter is now a part of the most popular show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.”
