In a vlog, the actor said “I am super duper excited for this new journey, I am going to play the lead character. I know all of you have been waiting to see me back on TV, I have been quite excited and nervous. I am finally signing the papers for the show. I even did the mock shoot and I even went to the sets. I will soon share a glimpse of all this on my vlog.”
“Finally my new show, I am feeling blessed. I can't wait to share everything with you all. Please keep loving me and my character. I am tight-lipped about the show but I can't wait to share all the details.”
Why did Raj Anadkat leave TMKOC?
Raj quit the show in 2022 after he portrayed the role of Tappu for 5 years. The actor replaced Bhavya Gandhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Sharing his association with the show for several years, Raj in a vlog said that he wanted to grow more in his career.
Raj said, “I did this show for five years and I did over 1,000 episodes for the show. This journey was very beautiful for me. But as an actor, I wanted to grow more in this field. I wanted to explore different characters. I took this decision and I am thankful to god for this opportunity. Thanks to all of you for accepting me as Tappu. Sometimes you have to make such decisions in life. It is a part and parcel of your life.”
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been on air since 2008. The show features Dilip Joshi, Amit Bhatt, Mandar Chandwadkar, Munmun Dutta, Tanuj Mahashabde and Sonalika Joshi in pivotal roles.
