About Shailesh Lodha quitting TMKOC
Shailesh Lodha garnered fans appreciation for his portrayal of iconic Taarak Mehta. It was in 2022 that the actor quit the show. The news about the actor quitting the show had disappointed his fans. As reported by media portals, Shailesh was deeply hurt by the uncultured behavior of producer Asit Modi.
"Asit Kumarr Modi spoke to me in a very uncultured, derogatory tone. Which I couldn’t tolerate. Mujhe bardaasht nahi hua (I could not tolerate); this was not the first time. At that time, he had said, “Yahan par sab kaam karne waale mere naukar hai. (Everyone working here is my servant.) That time also, I’d objected to him and his language," had shared Shailesh.
