Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fame Dilip Joshi’s daughter Niyati Joshi recently got married. What caught everyone’s attention was Niyati flaunting her grey hair at her wedding. Niyati’s confidence has taken the internet by storm.
In a recent conversation with BT, Dilip talked about it and shared, “Keeping her grey hair as it is at her wedding was never an issue for us. We didn’t even imagine that people would react like this. It was never a point of discussion in our house. Jo jaisa hai woh waisa hi theek hai. Everyone reacted in such a positive way and I was happy to see that she has inspired others. I think this is how we should be; we present ourselves the way we are rather than putting on a mask.”
He adds, “Initially when people started talking about her, she was taken aback as she likes to keep a low profile. But social media is something that we can’t control. Anyway, it was a positive thing and, we were fine with it. If this is something that has inspired people, then that’s great.”
Dilip who is a household name and is loved for his role of Jethalal started his career with the film Maine Pyar Kiya in 1989. When asked if he feels stagnated because he is unable to take up any other show apart from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah? Dilip said, “This is a comedy show, and it’s fun being a part of it. So, till the time I enjoy it, I will do it. The day I feel that I am not enjoying it anymore, I will move on. I do get offers from other shows, but I feel that when this one is doing well, why unnecessarily quit this one for something else. People love us so much and why would I want to ruin that for no reason.”
