Gurucharan Singh, renowned for his portrayal of ‘Roshan Singh Sodhi’ in the popular sitcom ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmah’, has been absent from public view for the past four days.
According to reports, the actor traveled to Delhi a few days ago to celebrate his father’s birthday and was expected to return to Mumbai on April 22, 2024. However, he has not arrived in the city as planned and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
Gurucharan Singh’s father has filed a missing person’s report, expressing deep concern over his son’s disappearance. In the report, it is stated that Gurucharan, aged 50, left for Mumbai from Delhi airport on April 22nd but has neither reached his destination nor returned home. Furthermore, his phone has been unreachable, adding to the distress of his family and friends.
My son Gurucharan Singh, Age: 50 years, had left at 8:30 am on April 22nd to go to Mumbai. He went to the airport to catch a flight. He didn’t reach Mumbai, neither has he returned home and his phone is not reachable. He is mentally stable and we had been searching for him but now he has been missing!”
A close friend of Gurucharan shared with Pinkvilla that his phone has been switched off since April 24, 2024. Despite efforts to file a report in Mumbai, it has been challenging due to his absence in the city. The friend also expressed worry about Gurucharan’s health, noting that he had been unwell prior to his departure for Delhi.
“His parents are worried and have filed a missing report in Delhi. I tried to file one in Mumbai as well, however, since he hasn’t returned back a complaint cannot be filed here. Gurucharan ji’s health also hasn’t been keeping well for the last many days, so I am worried about that. Before leaving for Delhi, his blood pressure was high and he had undergone a few tests as well. He wasn’t even eating much before he left for Delhi. I really hope and pray that he is fine, and returns back safe and sound.”
Gurucharan Singh, known for his affable character on ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmah’, had previously taken breaks from the show, citing personal reasons. In 2020, he departed from the series permanently, attributing his decision to familial responsibilities and unspecified personal matters.
“Hum pyaar mohabbat se aage badhna pasand karna chahte hain. There are some other reasons I don’t want to talk about. God knows, I don’t know. Agar rab ki marzi hogi toh (If God wishes) I will return. But nothing as such for now. Last time too, I hadn’t expected or planned, it just happened.”
While rumors circulated regarding his departure due to payment issues, Gurucharan refrained from divulging details. When questioned about a potential return to the show, he expressed a laissez-faire attitude, stating that the decision ultimately rested with a higher power.
In these uncertain times, fans and well-wishers hope for Gurucharan Singh’s safe return.
