Television actor Gurucharan Singh, who used to play the role of Roshan Sodhi in the popular show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has been missing for almost 20 days. Delhi police is investigating the case and trying to trace the actor. It has now been revealed that a team of police officials visited TMKOC sets in Mumbai’s Film City.
News18 Showsha has exclusively learnt that a team of Delhi police officials recently visited the sets of the popular comedy show in connection with Singh’s missing case. They questioned Singh’s former co-stars to try to find out his whereabouts. “This week Delhi police visited our sets and spoke with the actors who were in touch with Gurucharan Singh. Everyone has co-operated well with the police,” a source close to the show’s production told us.
“Also, there were some rumours related to Gurucharan Singh’s payments being due from the production house. But, the police found that the payment of the actor was cleared long ago,” the insider added.
Meanwhile, Sohil Ramani, Head of Production of Neela Films also confirmed, “As a part of their investigation, Delhi police had visited our set. They went back assured that there were no dues from our end towards Gurucharan Singh. We continue to pray for his well being and hope he is found soon.”
Gurucharan Singh was last seen on April 22, 2024. His father filed a missing complaint four days later which stated, “My son Gurucharan Singh, Age: 50 years, had left at 8:30 am on 22nd April to go to Mumbai. He went to the airport to catch a flight. He didn’t reach Mumbai, neither has he returned home and his phone is not reachable. He is mentally stable and we had been searching for him but now he has been missing.”
Later, News18 Showsha exclusively reported that the actor may have “planned” his own disappearance. “He left his phone in the Palam area. We are trying to find but it only makes it more difficult for us to trace Gurucharan Singh, because this means that the phone is not with the actor. In the CCTV footage, we recovered that he was seen moving from one e-rickshaw to another. Looks like, he had planned everything and has moved out of Delhi,” police sources told us.
Recently, the actor’s father Hargit Singh also recalled the last day he spent with Gurucharan before he went missing. Hargit revealed that the actor was in New Delhi when they celebrated his birthday. “There were no celebrations as such, but we were at home together, and it felt nice. The next day, he was supposed to travel to Mumbai,” he told the Times of India.
“What has happened is very shocking, we don’t know how to deal with it. Hum sab bahut pareshaan hain (We are very troubled) and are eagerly waiting for some update from the police. Hum uske wapas aane ka intezaar kar rahe hain (We are awaiting his return),” Gurucharan’s father added.
Meanwhile, several of Gurucharan’s TMKOC co-stars including Jennifer Mistry, Samay Shah and Mandar Chandwadkar have expressed concern over his disappearance, hoping him to return home soon. Recently, the show’s producer Asit Kumarr Modi also reacted to the news and called it “painful” and “shocking”.
