Did you know Taarak Mehta actor Gurucharan Singh was approached for Bigg Boss 15?

While Gurucharan was working in Taarak, he made his Punjabi movie debut in 2018. The movie was titled 'RIPS Damanjeet Singh Sodhi' and he said that it was a Hollywood collaboration and he played the role of a spy in the film.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's OG Sodhi, aka Gurucharan Singh, has been in the news for the past seven days after his father filed his missing complaint.

The police team in Delhi is searching for the actor, who had gone to meet his elderly father in the city.

Now one of his old interviews has resurfaced, where he spoke about being approached for Bigg Boss OTT and that he was in talks for Bigg Boss 15 back then.

Gurucharan had told ETimes TV back in 2021 that "They told me that they want me in Bigg Boss, so last time I came to Mumbai, I told them let's meet, and they were telling me that they want to meet in Film City. So, I said, Let's go to Film City, no problem, but then they said that they couldn't meet at that time; they could meet later on. So, I told them I'm going back, but it is not possible. I don't know; they wanted me in Bigg Boss; whether it is true or not, I don't know."

While he was working in Taarak, he made his Punjabi movie debut in 2018. The movie was titled 'RIPS Damanjeet Singh Sodhi' and he said that it was a Hollywood collaboration and he played the role of a spy in the film.

Gurucharan finally exited Taarak Mehta in 2020 due to his father's illness. He had told the publication then: "There were a few other things I had to address, and life went on." He never spoke about any other things or issues.

On Saturday, the Delhi Police Special Cell visited Gurucharan's home in Palam to investigate his disappearance.

The police said that Gurucharan was seen in CCTV on April 22 near the Delhi airport with a backpack.

Gurucharan's father had lodged a missing complaint, saying his son had left for Mumbai on April 22 but never reached Mumbai.

He was all set to get married soon, but there are also reports of him not being well financially.
