Gurcharan Singh: Roshan Singh Sodhi has become an integral part of my life now

Actor Gurucharan Singh Sodhi, who plays the famous Sodhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, is happy to be a part of the cult show since its inception. The show has been running on SAB TV for more than a decade now, but not for a single second Singh has ever felt bored playing his character for such a long period of time.

Talking about his journey with the show, Gurcharan Singh says, “I came to Mumbai in 2007 with the dream of becoming an actor. I took training in acting under Barry John for three months. My family was not aware of my passion for acting. I used to watch a lot of movies and from there my passion for films developed. When I came to Mumbai, I had just informed my mother. My sister and her husband are based in Mumbai and they became my greatest support system. The best part of my acting career is I have never struggled for my first break. Within a span of six months, I have got Tarak Mehta show in my kitty. Yes, initially people used to advice me that I should cut my hair and all. But as a true Sikh, I would have never ever thought of that. And the Almighty has given me a role of Sardarji only. I have started my work in 2008 and it’s been a decade, ten years I have worked in this show. People ask me about monotony as I am only working on this show but not for a single day I have faced that in my life. These ten years passed like a fraction of a second."


Tarak Mehta is also a show which has generated a lot of positive vibes among the audience. Speaking on that Gurucharan says, "Yes, certainly, in today's world when everyone is so stressed and does not have time for anyone then there is a show like Tarak Mehta which is instrumental for the positivity which makes it special. At Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, we are all social doctors. I am thankful and grateful to Asit Modi who has made this show. I never felt like doing anything else in the last ten years. Roshan Singh Sodhi has become an integral part of my life now."

Kosinski, best known for Top Gun: Maverick, shared that Hamilton was the first person he contacted when the project was just an idea.
