Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma actor Gurucharan Singh is ‘facing financial difficulties, wants to die’: Bhakti Soni

Bhakti Soni revealed that Gurucharan Singh had stopped eating solid food three months ago and was only consuming a liquid diet. “He had stopped eating ever since he got back (home) three months ago. I don’t exactly know when he did. He had stopped eating; he was not consuming a solid diet. After that, in the last few days, he did not have any water either, so he fell unconscious. Anyway, he had stopped eating food. He was only on some liquid diet, some milkshakes, coconut water type… He has been following this diet for some time,” she said in an interview with SCREEN.

Bhakti also mentioned that Gurucharan’s family had asked her to request him to have water at least, but he was not listening to anyone. “Even though doctors prescribed medicines, he seems to not have had any medicines. I don’t know. But he was given a drip as he was unconscious. Apparently, the doctors said that he was taken to the hospital at the right time, and that if the family had waited for a couple of more days, then he wouldn’t have survived.”

When asked if stress led to Gurucharan Singh’s condition, Bhakti Soni revealed that he was facing financial difficulties and property issues. “He was going through some stress when he went missing. There is some property issue, and he needs help. I have also lent him Rs 30 lakh. It’s not a small amount. But a lot of his friends came forward to help him as well. He is not a married man, but in this legal case that he has (property-related legal case), he only spent money for that. He has a lot of financial responsibilities. His nephews go for court hearings, but he has paid for all the legal action, and that way, he has exhausted all his savings,” she said.

Bhakti also revealed that Gurucharan’s family had stopped valuing him since he was not earning. “His family also doesn’t value him now that he is not earning. When he used to earn, his family valued and respected him. After his situation became bad, his family members stopped contacting him. None of his close ones are standing with him at this moment. He is upset that he is not getting any support from his family members. It was the same issue when he left without telling anyone (a few months ago).”

Bhakti Soni further rubbished reports suggesting that Gurucharan Singh wants to take sanyaas and run away. “It’s wrong. He wanted to become a sanyaasi (hermit) and run away a few months ago, when it was reported that he went missing. He wanted to go to the Himalayas and become a hermit. Right now, it’s not that. He is unwell and has given up food and all because he wants to die,” she concluded.
