One of the longest-running sitcoms on Indian television, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, clocked 15 years on July 28 this year. Based on the weekly column Duniya Ne Undha Chasma by Tarak Mehta in Chitralekha magazine, it is loved by the audience globally. While the daily soap received immense love and popularity, it has got its own share of controversies. Over these 15 years, many members of the star cast have ended their association with the show. Some of them left on a bitter note. 

Shailesh Lodha, who left behind a mark as Taarak Mehta, dragged producer Asit Kumar Modi to the court over non-payment of dues. The court announced its decision in favour of the actor. Producer Asit is now legally bound to pay him Rs. 1.05 crores via demand draft. Shailesh quit the show in 2022 after a fallout with Asit. He was replaced by Sachin Shroff.
