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.'
