While many OG characters have left or been replaced on the show over the years, 'TMKOC' continues to enjoy high ratings, largely attributable to the entertaining presence of Jethalal. In this article, we explore the reason behind Dilip Joshi's hiatus and the impact it might have on the show's loyal fan base.

Contrary to speculations of discord between the actor and the show's makers, Dilip Joshi's absence from 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' is solely due to a short religious trip to Tanzania with his family. Sources close to the actor have revealed that Joshi is currently in Daresalaam, participating in a special religious occasion at the Swaminarayan temple.

The Purpose of the Trip

The actor, known for maintaining a relatively low-profile on social media, has not yet shared any pictures or videos from his religious excursion in Tanzania. However, his last Instagram post prior to his departure hinted at his participation in a religious event called the 'Festival of Harmony.'
