Adding clarity, both Munmun and showrunner Asit Kumar Modi have publicly confirmed that she has not left the show. This announcement has come as a relief to fans who were concerned about her sudden absence in recent episodes.
India's longest-running sitcom, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, continues to reign supreme even after 17 years.
With consistent top TRP ratings, it has now overtaken even Anupamaa to become the most-watched show on Indian television. The show's ability to stay relevant across generations is a testament to its timeless storytelling and the strength of its ensemble cast.
Over the years, TMKOC has evolved from lighthearted comedy to weaving in socially relevant themes. The recent cybercrime episode raised awareness on online scams, while a previous track featuring Gogi dealt with the dangers of online betting.
These storylines highlight the show's thoughtful balance of humour and meaningful messages.
Currently, the show is winning hearts with its spooky-yet-funny 'Bhootni' storyline—blending mystery and laughter in true TMKOC style. Fans are glued to their screens, enjoying the creative spin while remaining comforted that Babita Ji remains a part of the Gokuldham family.
With Munmun Dutta's confirmation, it's clear: the TMKOC family stays strong, and the show's legacy continues—one laugh, one lesson at a time.

Actor and Roadies gangleader Rhea Chakraborty recently opened up about mentoring young talent on her podcast, sharing a proud moment about former contestant Rishabh Jaiswal. Now a successful television actor, Rishabh was once just a hopeful participant on Roadies, seeking the right direction in his acting career. 'I am doing Roadies now and these really hungry, young ambitious kids participate. In the previous season, there was a guy named Rishabh (Jaiswal). He is a very good-looking boy and wanted to become an actor,' Rhea said. 'He was very good and wanted guidance. He wanted to do films. He was getting offers from television. I told him to do TV. I told him to do whatever work he gets because your work will speak for itself. Today he is doing very well. ' Rhea shared how thrilled she is to see Rishabh thriving. 'He doesn't have a day off. He says, 'Ma'am I haven't been able to take your calls because I am so busy'. So I am so happy.' Joining her on the podcast, actor Vikrant Massey added, 'Now all the lines have blurred because of OTT,' highlighting how the industry has become more flexible for aspiring actors. Rishabh Jaiswal, who currently plays Krish Bansal in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, has also been seen in Kundali Bhagya, Anupamaa, Splitsvilla, and Roadies. Before making his mark on television, he started out as a model and influencer. 'Let's start from ground zero,' Rishabh previously told Times of India TV. 'I started out with my modeling career, then moved into fashion influencing, and then transitioned to reality shows. My first break was Anupamaa. It was a small break but a really good one.' Rhea's mentorship story is a reminder of how guidance and persistence can turn raw ambition into success.

Siddharth Anand drops a hilarious tweet amid 'Tara Rum Pum' comparisons to Brad Pitt's 'F1'
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 2 (ANI): Filmmaker Siddharth Anand's directorial 'Tara Rum Pum', which was released in 2007, is remembered by fans to date. And now when Hollywood icon Brad Pitt's film 'F1' is doing wonders at the box office, Indian fans have surprisingly created memes, joking about how the international film is inspired by Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji-starrer 'Tara Rum Pum'. Seems like those memes caught Siddharth's attention as he on Tuesday dropped a post, calling 'Tara Rum Pum' a 'lovely beast.' 'Tara Rum Pum' follows the story of a race car driver, RV (Saif), and his wife Radhika (Rani), as they face life's highs and lows with their two children. Meanwhile, Siddharth is currently busy shooting for 'King', which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan among others. 'King' was supposed to be directed by Sujoy Ghosh earlier. However, Siddharth Anand, who directed SRK in 'Pathaan', later took over as the director. A few months ago, at an event in Dubai, SRK opened up about King, saying, 'I'm not just shooting it here, I'm shooting it in Mumbai now when I go back in a couple of months. My director, who is Sidharth Anand, is very strict. He made Pathaan. So he is very strict. He said, 'Don't tell people about the film, what you are doing in it.' So I can't tell you but I can assure you it will entertain you, you will have fun. I've used many we have run out of Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan in King. That was a bit of a show-off.' The film went on floors in Mumbai recently. (ANI)
