Jennifer Mistry, known for her role in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, was left stunned after learning that her former co-star Gurucharan Singh has been reported missing.

In a recent interview with ETimes, Jennifer expressed her shock and concern about Gurucharan's disappearance.

He is very spiritual and a good human being."

When asked about her last interaction with Gurucharan after leaving TMKOC, Jennifer revealed, "I have not been in touch with him since last June. We did not speak to each other after that. Earlier, we were in touch. He sent me a congratulatory message in February about Taarak Mehta completing 4000 episodes. Apart from that, we did not message each other or were not in touch."

Gurucharan Singh portrayed the character of Roshan Singh Sodhi, a lively and fun-loving individual who adored his wife, in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. He was a beloved member of the show's cast and a founding member of the series. Although he left the show in 2013, he returned the following year due to popular demand. In 2020, he departed again and was succeeded by actor Balwinder Singh Suri.
