Television’s one of the most popular and longest running shows, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is undergoing a major change in its show. Well! Reports suggest that the actor Bhavya Gandhi, playing Tappu has taken a call to quit the show after eight long years.

A source revealed that “Bhavya has been a part of TMKOC from its first episode. It’s been almost eight years now and so he decided to explore his acting in other fields. He has already signed a Gujarati movie and has been shooting day and night in Gujarat. Another reason for quitting the show is that the makers were not giving him enough screen space. Bhavya Gandhi used to hardly shoot for 3-4 days in a month. Obviously, as an actor, he wasn’t much satisfied with this work mode. And so, finally, he has put down the papers.”

Reports have only suggested that the actor wants to explore his talents outside the show and the TV industry. Well! We got to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. This is what he had to say,

“Yes, I have quit the show in the month of January. The journey of eight years and eight months has been fruitful. I have enjoyed working with my Taarak cast and Asit (Modi) sir (producer). In the same way, in which my fans have showered me with love, I would want them to support me for my future endeavors.”

We will surely miss Bhavya Gandhi in the show.
