After Dayaben, makers find Shailesh Lodha aka Taarak Mehta to leave the show ?

For years now, Shailesh Lodha played the role of Taarak Mehta, Dilip Joshi aka Jethalal's close confidant and aide in the popular sitcom, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. And fans have been attached to Shailesh as Taarak too. But the actor felt that his number of days wasn't being utilised and that he didn't want to stay at home for 10 days straight. Moreover, there have been reports of the exclusivity contract that has been doing the rounds which states that the actor cannot take up any other project, it seems. Well, Asit Kumarr Modi had previously hinted at getting a replacement. And now, the name of Jaineeraj Rajpurohit has surfaced as the replacement of Shailesh Lodha as Taarak Mehta.

While there hasn't been any official confirmation over Jaineeraj Rajpurohit replacing Shailesh Lodha as Taarak Mehta in Taara Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, the report states that he is being considered to play Taarak. Jaineeraj Rajpurohit has been a part of Naagin, Balika Vadhu, Laagi Tujhse Lagan and Miley Jab Hum Tum to name a few. He was also seen in Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal starrer OMG: Oh My God.

It so happened that a couple of days ago, Asit Kumarr Modi's video of seemingly taking a sneer at Shailesh Lodha's exit went viral. He said that he cannot do anything if one feels that he/she has done enough and that his/her heart is content with all that has been done. He added that in the end, the show must go on and that the makers will welcome old or new Taarak Mehta as per the situation. Later, Shailesh Lodha allegedly took a sneer at Modi by sharing a post about how people change just like a chameleon.

There were reports of Kajal Pisal replacing Disha Vakani as Dayaben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Two or three months ago, Sunayana Fozdar had replaced Neha Mehta as Anjali Mehta on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. And about a long time ago makers tracked down Nattu Kaka in Kiran Bhatt, earlier played by Ghanashyam Nayak.
