When Sharad Sankla was also rumoured to have quit TMKOC
Earlier this month, several reports also claimed that Sharad Sankla aka Abdul had quit the show. However, the actor later revealed that it was not the case. “No, the news is absolutely untrue. I am not going anywhere and very much part of the show. The storyline in the show is such that my character is not there but very soon Abdu will return. It is part of the storyline. It is such a lovely and long-running show and I am known because of my character of Abdul, it is a big achievement. Why will I quit the show? I can’t even think of quitting the show,” Sharad told ETimes.
“The production house Neela Telefilms is like a family to me and our Producer Asit Kumarr Modi is my college friend, there is no way I will ever quit the show. Jab tak show chalta rahega tab tak main uska hissa bana rahunga (I will remain with TMKOC as long as it continues to air),” the actor added.
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been running for 16 years now. Recently, Kush Shah, who used to play the role of Goli, had quit to pursue further studies.
