Mumbai, India - The television entertainment community has been left shaken after reports emerged that Gurucharan Singh, the iconic actor who played Roshan Singh Sodhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has refused food and water intake for an extended period.
According to sources close to Singh, he has not consumed anything for 19 days, causing significant concern among his fans and colleagues. The reasons behind this drastic decision are reportedly related to personal struggles with mental health, but specifics remain unclear.
Singh's character Sodhi was known for his jovial personality and memorable catchphrases which endeared him to millions of viewers over the years. However, his recent health challenges have cast a shadow over his vibrant persona.
The actor's failure to eat or drink has led to severe weakness, necessitating hospitalization and bringing in medical expertise to monitor his condition closely. Singh is currently under the care of doctors to assess the full extent of his health issues.

Fellow actors Bhakti Soni shared on social media, "As Guruchchan's friend/colleague it has been a painful emotional journey of watching him go through this. Still want to remind everyone that even if someone in our lives is grappling with some issue let them talk, share or support them...even if they don't say anything at all be there by their side".
The impact on Singh's future career remains uncertain, having previously stepped away from the show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah due to personal reasons.
Gurucharan Singh's situation sparks a broader debate about importance of addressing mental health challenges in the entertainment industry. The Indian television community can now recognize that actors are not immune to stress and emotional struggles and that it's essential to support mental wellness with compassion, empathy and professional help.
The collective sentiment among fans and colleagues is hope for his recovery as he battles this critical issue head-on. In a statement regarding Singh's health crisis, the official representative of the show said ".Wishing Gurucharan Singh all the best for his speedy recovery".
While many can look forward to seeing him reprise as Sodhi back on TV, now fans will have to stay tuned for news about his recovery before he returns to his role.
