After Nidhi Bhanushali, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fame, Bhavya Gandhi has also returned to the Television world. Unfortunately, neither has reprised their much-loved characters in TMKOC, but fans are happy to see them on the small screens. Our old Tapu is now discussing keeping in touch with his ex-cast members, including Kush Shah and Jheel Mehta. Below are all the details you need!
It was Bhavya who first portrayed the character of Tapu when the sitcom first aired in 2008. In 2017, he made the bold decision to quit the show because he wanted to pursue his career as a full-fledged film actor. He also reportedly felt that his character in TMKOC was being ignored by the makers. He has been a part of regional movies, including Bau Na Vichar, Tari Sathe and Kehvatlal Parivar.
