Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Maker Asit Kumarr Modi Reveals The ‘Exclusive Contract’ Post Shailesh Lodha’s Exit: “Agar Yeh Kalakar Sab Kuch Karenge…”

Asit Kumarr Modi’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the longest-running shows on Indian television and holds a special place in the hearts of millions. While the show made the headlines recently for completing 14 years, it was also in the news for its actors – like Shailesh Lodha, leaving it and rumours of others following suit.

In a recent chat, Modi got candid about the show and the challenges he faces in order to keep it running. While talking about it, the showrunner also spoke about making the much-loved artist sign exclusive contracts and the reason for it.

Talking to Indian Express as to why he makes the actor of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah sign an ‘exclusive contract’ with them, showrunner Asit Kumarr Modi said, “Yeh contract isiliye hota hai ke agar aap sab kuch karte rahoge… Audience ne jo pyaar diya, woh isiliye ke exclusive iss character mein dikhne mile. Yeh show yaha tak pahucha hai ussi ke karan. Agar yeh sab jo kalakar hai woh sab kuch karenge toh show ki value nahi rahegi (Audiences have loved the show because they want to see these actors in these characters only. If they start doing everything, the show will lose its value).”
