Gurucharan Singh

MUMBAI: Actor Gurucharan Singh Sodhi, who plays the famous Sodhi in popular show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, believes that all the actors of this cult show are social doctors.

He says, ‘I was born and brought up in Mumbai but my roots are from Punjab. I came to Mumbai in 2007 with the dream of becoming an actor. I undertook training in acting under Barry John for three months. My family was not aware of my passion for acting. I used to watch lot of movies and there’s when my passion for films developed.’

He adds, ‘My sister and her husband are based in Mumbai and they became my greatest support system. The best part of my acting career is that I have never struggled for my first break. Within a span of six months, I got Taarak Mehta in my kitty. Yes, initially, people used to advise me to cut my hair. But as a true Sikh, I cannot ever think of doing that. And the Almighty has given me a role of Sardarji only. I started my work in 2008. It has been a decade that I have worked in this show.’

‘People ask me about monotony. as I am working only in this show. but not for a single day have I faced that in my life. These ten years passed like a fraction of a second.’

Speaking on that, Gurucharan says, ‘Yes, certainly in today's world when everyone is so stressed and does not have time for anyone, a show like Taarak Mehta is instrumental to positivity, which makes it special. At Taarak 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.’
