Taarak Mehta Fame Gurucharan Singh: There are many actors who achieve stardom in the beginning of their career, but later leave the industry and prove to be a flop in maintaining stardom. One such actor who became a star with a show, later quit acting and now this actor is struggling to get work. The actor we are talking about worked in a hit show and achieved stardom with just one role.
One show made me a star
However, he left the show after 12 years and is now looking for work. During this time, the actor was forced to sleep at the railway station. He is none other than actor Gurcharan Singh, who became famous for the character of Sodhi in ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’. Gurcharan Singh started his career with the show ‘Left Right Left’ in which he played a small role of a taxi driver. After this, he got a big break from ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’.
Gurcharan Singh played the role of Roshan Singh Sodhi in the show. This show made him a star. His character in the show was highly appreciated by the audience and made him one of the favorite characters of the show. However, after working in one of the longest running shows in India for 12 years, Gurcharan Singh left the show due to his father’s ill health and because he wanted to focus on his family. But this break put him in trouble.
Spent many nights at the railway station
The actor went missing in April this year and his father filed a police complaint. However, the actor returned on his own. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Gurcharan recalled sleeping on railway platforms and bus stands during his disappearance. He said, ‘I could not go to a hotel. I did not even have money. I had very few clothes and I threw some away because I felt my bag was full.’
Wore the same pants for 17 days without washing them
He revealed that ‘I used to wash my T-shirt in the Gurudwara and keep it to dry. If I did not have time, I would wear the same wet T-shirt and leave. I wore my pants for 17 days without washing them. Let us tell you that Gurucharan admitted that after leaving Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, he was facing many problems and he got into debt. He said that now he wants to work and repay all his debts one by one.
