Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah welcomes new Goli as Kush Shah says goodbye after 16 years

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a popular Indian sitcom running successfully over the years. The characters became household names creating a space in Indian audiences' hearts. While a few actors were changed in the show over time, now much-loved actor Kush Shah known as Goli bids adieu to the show after 16 years. In a significant development on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, a new actor has been announced to step into the role of Goli, following the departure of Kush Shah. 

Shah, who has been a cherished part of the show since its debut in July 2008, has left the show to pursue further studies in New York, United States. Kush Shah's departure will be marked with an emotional farewell in the upcoming episodes, where viewers will witness a heartfelt cake-cutting ceremony and tributes from his co-stars. Jethalal Dilip Joshi, Palak Sindhwani, and show creator Asit Modi were among those who honored Shah's contribution. Modi praised Shah, saying, "Goli has spent his entire childhood here and made his place in everyone’s hearts. He has been very consistent since Day 1. Kush, thank you, and all the best. Dil se shubh kamnaye. Tu aage badh.”

Reflecting on his time on the show, Shah expressed his gratitude to fans, stating, “I’ll make you all proud. Thank you so much. I have completed 16 years on this show, and the journey has been beautiful. Although I am leaving, the character of Goli will continue to bring the same joy and mischief. An actor might change, but not the essence of Goli.”

As the beloved Goli bids farewell, fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the new actor will bring the character to life. Will the new character fit in the shoe as Goli? Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah continues to air Monday to Saturday at 8:30 PM, promising more entertaining episodes with the introduction of Goli's new avatar.
