Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is the most popular sitcoms on Indian television today. The show which revolves around the lives of Gokul Dham Society’s residents often tops the TRP Charts due to its interesting plots and amazing characters.
However, amid the second wave of Covid pandemic, the shooting schedules of many television shows including Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah have come to a halt.
While some of the shows have shifted their base out of Mumbai to continue their shooting schedule, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah makers are still contemplating this idea- whether to shift the base or not.
Recently, Ghanshayam Nayak who plays the role of Natu Kaka in the show shared about his return on the show and how pandemic is affecting him.
The senior actor, who essays Natu kaka, revealed that he’s been home for almost a month now as he last shot for the show in March.
“It has been over a month since I am at home. There is no clarity as to when my track will start as the shooting has halted for now. The makers haven’t taken any decision to shift base, too. I had shot for an episode in March and after that I am at home. I am sure the makers will start my track soon and show how Natukaka returns to Mumbai from the village,” said Ghanshayam during an interview to The Time Of India.
He also shared how the pandemic has taken a toll on him. “It is very tough. I have been at home and my family also insists that I don’t step out at all. But, I am dying to work and get back on the sets. How long will I live like this in isolation and away from my work? It is tough for senior actors because of the virus. I do understand the safety protocols for senior actors, but my mind and body needs to get up and work,” said Natu Kaka.
However, he is hopeful that the situation will improve soon and he can resume the shooting and entertain the audience with his character Natu kaka.
