Dilip Joshi & Asit Kumar Modi
It looks like the bad days for Asit Modi's 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' are not over yet. Another bad news from the sets of TMKOC suggests that recently Asit Kumar Modi and Dilip Joshi, known for playing the role of Jethalal Champaklal Gada, had a major argument that escalated to the point where Joshi threatened Modi that he would leave the show. The argument reportedly stemmed from Dilip Joshi's demand for a few days off. This incident allegedly took place in early August and was seemingly Kush Shah's last day on the sets of TMKOC.
'News18', in their report, shared that Dilip Joshi had reached out to Asit regarding a few days off, but Asit seemingly avoided the conversation. This offended Joshi, who almost had a physical altercation with Asit Modi. The news portal quoted a source saying, "It was the last day of Kush Shah's shoot. Dilip ji was waiting for Asit bhai to come and talk to him about his leaves. But when Asit bhai came, he directly went to meet Kush. This disappointed Dilip ji."
The insider further added, "Dilip ji got very angry, and the two got into a heated argument. Dilip ji even held Asit Modi's collar and threatened to leave the show. However, Asit bhai calmed him down. We don't know how the two sorted their differences."
