On Wednesday, rumours of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actors Munmun Dutta and Raj Anadkat getting secretly engaged took the internet by storm. As per the reports, the co-stars had secretly exchanged rings in a private ceremony in Vadodara in the presence of their family. But, the actors have now dismissed these rumours and said that there is no truth to this. Munmun told ETimes that this news was "ridiculous, fake, and ludicrous." Munmun insisted that the rumour was completely fabricated and added that she does not want to invest more energy in this "fake thing." Raj also reacted to the reports and shared a statement on his Instagram stories. He wrote, "Hello Everyone, Just to clear things up, the news you've been seeing on social media is false and baseless. Team Raj Anadkat."

Previously, when the rumours cropped up in 2021, Munmum and Raj had denied them via their social media posts. He wrote, "To everyone, who has been constantly writing about me, THINK of the repercussion that can happen in my life because of your ‘COOKED UP’ (false) stories and that too about my life without my consent. All the creative people out there please channelise your creativity somewhere else it will be helpful to you. May God bless them with good sense." Munmum found this to be an attack on her dignity and wrote, "“To the general public, I had far better expectations from you. But the filth that you have showered in the comment section, even from the so called ‘Literate’ ones proves how regressive society we are. Women are constantly AGE SHAMED, SLUT SHAMED, MOM SHAMED, at the cost of your humour. Whether your humour drives someone to the edge of a mental breakdown or not, is never you concern. 13 years of entertaining people and it didn’t take 13 minutes for anyone of you to RIP MY DIGINITY APART." Raj played the role of Tappu (Jethalal's son) on the show. He quit the television show in 2022.
