Jethalal and Babita Ji quit Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah? Asit Modi breaks silence
Lately, Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta were absent for an extended period ever since the ongoing 'Bhootni' storyline began. Social media was abuzz with rumors that the much-loved duo of Jethalal and Babita Ji were leaving the show. And now, Producer Asit Modi has broken his silence on the matter.
In a recent interview with Money Control, Asit Modi rubbishes the rumors and said, 'As you know, social media these days has become so negative that you should try to keep a positive mindset. And Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a completely positive show. It's a family show that spreads happiness. So some people should think positively about it. It's not right to spread rumours about small things or say anything inappropriate. That's not a good thing.'
Asit Modi went on to add that there is no truth in the ongoing rumors. He said, 'Lekin kuch nahi hai, sab log hamari team ka part hai. Kuch unke personal reasons the to us time nahi the. To aise koi baat nahi hai."
(But there's nothing like that; everyone is part of our team. They were not present at that time due to some personal reasons. So, there's no such issue.)
Meanwhile, Munmun Dutta, who essays the role of Babita Ji, posted a BTS video of her from the sets of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Her caption reads, 'Rumors are always not true.'
Although Babita Ji is back on the show, it remains uncertain when Dilip Joshi, also known as Jethalal, will return and resume filming.
For the unversed, several beloved actors of TMKOC, including Disha Vakani, Jheel Mehta, Bhavya Gandhi, Raj Anadkat, Palak Sindhwani, Gurucharan Singh, and Neha Mehta, have all bid goodbye to the show.

Anshula Kapoor blamed herself for divorce of her parents Boney Kapoor and Mona Shourie: ‘The feeling became more apparent after Janhvi Kapoor was born'
Anshula Kapoor, the daughter of film producer Boney Kapoor and his first wife Mona Shourie, thought she was the reason why her parents parted ways. Anshula shared that the feelings of being a 'bad daughter' she had at age six only deepened after Boney Kapoor welcomed his first child, Janhvi Kapoor, with his second wife, actor Sridevi. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Anshula shared, 'As a 6-year-old I thought before me, their life was all hunky dory and I came to their life and suddenly they don't belong together. I thought, maybe, I was not a good enough daughter. I think that became more apparent after–and I know it sounds horrible–Jaanu (Janhvi Kapoor) was born because I was like maybe, something was wrong with me.' Anshula Kapoor clarified that both her parents explained to her that she was never the reason behind their separation, but yet it affected her. 'I do not believe that anymore. But, it was a child trying to figure out what went wrong and thinking maybe I only went wrong. You can't predict what effects someone psychologically. Especially when you are so young, how you process things are completely different.'

Watch Anshula shared that her theories could have been a result of the conversations that she overheard. She said, 'Who knows maybe I heard some conversation with some aunty or friend. I may have heard some random words from their conversation and cooked something entirely different in my head. That was one part of my trauma I had to deal with. I have addressed this with my siblings, family and parents.' Previously, talking to Hautterfly, Anshula Kapoor had shared how she had to go through public scrutiny when her parents decided to part ways. She said, 'People started to talk about my family values, my upbringing, etc. I resigned into my own shell, and was trying to figure out what this new normal was all about.' Boney Kapoor married Mona Shourie in 1983. They welcomed a son, Arjun Kapoor and a daughter, Anshula Kapoor. In 1996, the couple parted ways. In the same year, Boney Kapoor married Sridevi. In 1997, they welcomed their first child, a daughter, Janhvi Kapoor. A few years later, they welcomed their second daughter Khushi Kapoor. Anshula, who usually stays away from the limelight, recently appeared on the Amazon Prime Video show, The Traitors.

BTS' Jungkook's solo tour and new music coming soon? Eagle-eyed fans spot NEW hint
BTS' Jungkook returned from the military on June 11 after serving for 18 months as an active member of the ROK army. He, alongside Jimin, was stationed at the 5th Infantry Division in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, as buddy soldiers, which allowed them to stay close together throughout their stint. Post returning, it has been rumored that Jungkook would resume his solo music career while the group preps for a full team comeback. A recent update in the form of custom in-ears is raising fans' expectations. The Instagram account, soundcat_custom_gallery, shared their design for the BTS member's new earphones. They appeared in a clean mirror, gold plate design. With the revelation of the new pair of music accessories, it seems that Jungkook is gearing up for some new performances, and we can only assume a tour is likely to follow. While there have not been any announcements from the artist or his label's end, there's already a lot of buzz being created. Previously, ticketing accounts shared plans for his solo concerts from September onwards while going around multiple cities that have been waiting for the Standing Next to You singer.

Did BTS' SUGA get injured during alternative military service? Fans spot alleged scar during livestream
BTS held their first group livestream on July 1, surprising fans with one after almost 3 years since their military break began in 2022. Since then, the members have taken on solo endeavors, but are now all set to reunite. The event was special for the fans, more so because they were able to see SUGA back on screen after his own military service completion. However, he seemed to be hiding his hands from the camera. Now, the BTS ARMY is concerned about member Min Yoongi's palm after spotting an apparent injury on it, wondering what happened to the rapper. BTS' SUGA attends first post-military official schedule During the video on fan community platform Weverse, BTS was able to discuss their upcoming plans for a new album release in Spring 2026 and poke fun at each other, something that the viewers thoroughly enjoyed. One such moment was when leader RM randomly shouted the music show phrase, 'wait for a while' which had the other members automatically pull out their hands and show their palms to the screen. The other 6 did the 'wait' action at once; however, SUGA refrained from doing so. Which seemed normal at first, but later, as fans began digging into the minute details of the live stream, they spotted an alleged injury on his palm, making them worry. The rapper waved them goodbye when his palm was finally visible, showing folded skin. Neither the singer nor his agency has so far commented on it. Previously, SUGA was detained on account of an electric scooter DUI on August 6, 2024, which ended up in a 15 million won (approximately USD 11,500) fine for the singer. He had publicly apologized for his actions back then and ended up staying away from the spotlight until the end of his alternative military duty on June 21 after doing social service for 21 months. Once again, he expressed his sorry feelings with a note to fans on his personal Weverse account and promised to visit them occasionally. He was then seen at fellow member Jin's solo concert on June 29 alongside Jungkook and Jimin, when he updated his Instagram story for the first time in 2 years.
