Taarak Mehta actor Gurucharan Singh says burdened by Rs 1.2 cr debt; has no work, is on a liquid diet: ‘I have only seen failure in last 4 years’

During the conversation, Singh also revealed that he has left solid food and has been on a liquid diet for over a month. “I have left food for the past 34 days. I have been on a liquid diet like I have milk, chai and coconut water. I have seen only failure for the last four years. I have tried to do different things, businesses and all but everything is failing. Now, I am tired and now I should get some earnings,” he said.

Revealing the exact amount of debt he has accumulated, Singh said, “I have significant debt. I owe Rs 60 lakh to banks and credit card companies. Additionally, some kind people I know have lent me money, and I owe them an equal amount. In total, my debt amounts to nearly Rs 1.2 crore.”

There were rumours suggesting that Singh’s disappearance was due to financial difficulties. However, in an earlier interview with Pinkvilla, Singh clarified that he had embarked on a spiritual journey. “I didn’t disappear because I was in debt or because of my inability to repay the loan. Karz toh mujhpar aaj bhi hai (I still have loans to pay). Niyat meri acchi hai aur udhar lekar abhi tak mein credit card and EMIs ki payment kiye jaraha hoon (My intentions are good. I am borrowing money from people to pay credit card bills and bank EMIs),” he had said.
