Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, the beloved family comedy show, has been entertaining audiences for over a decade with its light-hearted humor and memorable characters. However, recent episodes sparked speculation as Babita Ji, played by Munmun Dutta, was noticeably absent. Just like the buzz surrounding Dayaben’s long break, fans began to fear that Babita Ji, too, might have exited the show.
Video Confirmation: Babita Ji is Still Part of TMKOC
Putting an end to all rumors, Munmun Dutta took to her Instagram to share a short video from the set. Dressed in a stylish black-and-white jumpsuit, the actress can be seen shooting in the familiar setup of Babita and Iyer’s house. Her caption — “Rumors are not always true” — was a direct response to the social media chatter about her alleged exit.
The video has since gone viral among TMKOC fans, who were relieved to know that their beloved Babita Ji is still very much a part of the show. The clip reaffirms that Munmun is simply taking a brief break and will soon return with her charming presence.
What’s Happening in the Current Track?
The ongoing storyline of TMKOC revolves around a spooky twist. Several members of Gokuldham Society go on a picnic to an old bungalow, rumored to be haunted. So far, only Atmaram Bhide has encountered the ghost and even ended up getting his clothes washed by her — a typical TMKOC-style humorous horror mix.
Interestingly, key characters like Jethalal, Dr. Hathi, Komal Hathi, Babita Ji, and Iyer are currently missing from this track. While their absence has disappointed many viewers, Munmun’s video has sparked hopes for their return in the upcoming episodes.
