Moreover, he served as an assistant director and assistant choreographer. He admitted to revealing that he was unemployed for eight years. As of now, he is the owner of two restaurants and earns INR30,000 to 35,000 per episode.
It is pertinent to mention that Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is criticized for being monotonous and for its redundant quality.
Dilip Joshi, who plays the leading role of Jethalal Champaklal Gada, accepted that the show sometimes does not live according to expectations.
“Every day, the writers have to find new subjects,” he wrote. “After all, they are also human beings. I agree that all the episodes cannot be of that level when you are doing a daily show for such a long time.
“I do feel that certain episodes are not up to the mark as far as the humour is concerned.”
