Shailesh Lodha takes an indirect dig at Asit Modi post quitting Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: No producer is bigger than the actor

Shailesh Lodha, who played the role of Taarak in the longest-running TV show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, grabbed attention when he quit the show last year. Shailesh Lodha’s exit from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah shocked many fans. The actor had not revealed the reason behind quitting the show back then.

It was said that he quit the show due to indifferences with TMKOC producer Asit Modi. Now, at a recent event, Shailesh finally broke his silence as he revealed the reason behind quitting TMKOC.

At the event hosted by Aaj Tak, Shailesh said, “In this country, publishers wear a diamond ring and a writer who wants to get his book published, has to shell out money. If people, who earn from the talent of other people, start considering themselves over and above the talented people, then a talented person should raise their voices. Maybe I am one of those talented people who has raised his voice.”

The actor said, “Doosron ki pratibhan se apna naam karne vale log, kisi pratibhashali vyakti se bade nahi ho sakte. Duniya ko koi publisher, lekhak se bada nahi ho sakta, koi producer kisi abhineta se bada nahi ho sakta, vo vyapari hai. Jab bhi koi vyapari mere kavi hone pe, mere abhineta hone par haavi hoga, tab tab jwalamukhi fatega (A person fending off on talented people cannot be bigger than those who are talented. No publisher is bigger than the writer, no producer is bigger than the actor. They are just businessmen. Every time a businessman tries to overpower the poer or the actor in me, I will oppose strongly)”

Last year, it was reported that Shailesh had a fallout with TMKOC producer Shailesh Lodha. However, Shailesh had not reacted to the reports. The actor has been sharing cryptic posts on Instagram.
