Television actor Gurucharan Singh, best known for playing the role of Roshan Singh Sodhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, is in critical condition at the hospital. Days after he shared his health update with fans, his close friend Bhakti Soni has stated that his health has been ‘very poor’.
In an interaction with TOI and Times Now, Bhakti said that Gurucharan Singh has not eaten anything for 19 days. She revealed that the actor was hospitalised a few days back, however, after he got discharged, his health worsened. He is now admitted to a government hospital.
“He hasn’t eaten food or drunk water for 19 days. Because of that, he fell unconscious and was quickly rushed to the hospital. When he came back, he tried getting work, but he didn’t get anything. He wanted to take sanyas,” she said.
“I haven’t met him, but his mother used to keep me informed. His health has been very poor. At one point, he was hospitalised but was taken back home. Unfortunately, his condition worsened again, leading to another hospital admission,” she added.
Revealing shocking details about Gurucharan’s financial condition, she said, “He had a debt of about Rs 1.2 crore. However, his father owns a property worth Rs 55 crore. Unfortunately, there is an ongoing dispute as the tenants are not vacating the property. If the matter gets resolved and the property is sold, he should be able to clear his loan.”
“He is definitely disturbed, but I cannot say for sure if he is depressed,” Bhakti further mentioned.
Meanwhile, a day after the auspicious occasion of Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti, Gurucharan shared an emotional video from his hospital bed. He wished his followers and expressed gratitude, saying that God had blessed him with a new life.
While he did not reveal the cause of his hospitalisation, he stated in the video that his health deteriorated recently. “Haalat bahot zyada kharab ho gayi hai,” he said.
“On the occasion of Gurpurab, Guru Sahib Ji blessed me with a new life 🙏. Infinite and unlimited thanks to Guru Sahib Ji. I also express heartfelt gratitude and respect to all of you, because of Guru Sahib Ji’s grace, I am alive and standing before you today. 🙏 Thank you to everyone 🙏. Rab Rakha 🙏 and may Waheguru continue to shower His blessings,” the actor captioned his post.
