From Debt and Disappearance to Bigg Boss: Taarak Mehta’s Gurucharan Singh Sodhi Set for Dramatic Comeback with Salman Khan

After half a decade away from the spotlight—and a string of personal and professional setbacks—actor Gurucharan Singh, beloved for his role as Sodhi in the iconic show “Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah,” is finally poised for a major comeback. According to multiple media reports, Gurucharan has landed a coveted spot on the upcoming season of “Bigg Boss 19,” hosted by Salman Khan, sending both fans and industry insiders into a frenzy of anticipation.

It hasn’t been an easy road for the actor. Ever since Gurucharan left “Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah” five years ago, he has struggled to find substantial work. In candid interviews, he revealed his desperation—admitting to more than one crore rupees in debt and months spent searching in vain for work. Despite reaching out to the show’s showrunner Asit Modi, he was denied a return to the cast—a blow that left him uncertain about his future in the industry.

But Gurucharan’s story made headlines once again when, in a dramatic and widely reported episode, he went missing from home for 25 days. His family even filed a missing person report, escalating fears among his fans. When he resurfaced, Gurucharan explained that he had taken refuge in a Gurudwara, where he dedicated himself to selfless service and introspection, seeking to disconnect from worldly struggles and controversy.

Now, it appears that fate is finally smiling on Gurucharan Singh. The buzz about his selection as a contestant for “Bigg Boss 19” is everywhere, even though official confirmation is still pending—the show’s tradition is to keep contestant names under wraps until the very last moment. Nevertheless, his rumored participation is already fueling excitement for what’s shaping up to be one of the most talked-about seasons yet.

The upcoming “Bigg Boss 19” has been generating immense hype, with a rumored contestant lineup filled with controversy-magnet celebrities and fan favorites. Gurucharan, with his journey of adversity and his return to the screen, is expected to bring a unique perspective and emotional resonance that could strike a chord with millions. For many fans, his story isn’t just about a TV comeback, but overcoming hardships and embracing second chances under the brightest lights.

While Gurucharan hasn’t issued any comments about the potential Bigg Boss stint, sources suggest that contracts may be signed, and all preparations are underway. Past reports indicated he was considered for earlier seasons, but talks had fallen through at the last minute. This time, the stars seem to have aligned for him.

Gurucharan Singh’s return will no doubt stir up plenty of drama, nostalgia, and emotion—especially given his past struggles, public disappearance, and candidness about his personal battles. For those who love redemption arcs and root for underdogs, his entry into Bigg Boss 19 is sure to be one of the most compelling storylines of the year.
