Gurucharan Singh’s father, Hargit Singh, has opened up about his son’s health in an exclusive conversation with News18.
Gurucharan Singh is slowly recovering at his home.
TV actor Gurucharan Singh, known for playing the role of Sodhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, was hospitalised on January 7, 2025, and his condition was described as critical. Now, in an exclusive conversation with News 18, his father, Hargit Singh, has given us an update on the actor’s health saying that he is doing much better and is ‘out of danger’.
Gurucharan had apparently stopped drinking water for nearly 19 days, which caused him to become extremely weak and lose consciousness. Hence, that led to his hospitalisation.
Gurucharan’s father told us exclusively, “By Waheguru’s grace, I’m happy to share that he is now doing much better. Recently, he had to be hospitalised due to severe weakness, which had left him in a critical condition for some time. It was a deeply worrying period for our family, but with the blessings of the Almighty and the efforts of the doctors, he is now out of danger. He is currently recovering at home and focusing on regaining his strength. Gurucharan has started eating well, and we ensure he’s given fresh, nutritious meals. He’s also making it a priority to spend some quiet moments at the Gurudwara. In fact, he has gone there just now.”
Hargit Singh added, “Gurucharan has always believed in spreading positivity through his work, and seeing how much he is loved has deeply moved him. He has begun taking short walks and is slowly returning to a routine, but we are being very careful to ensure he doesn’t overexert himself. We are hopeful that with time, rest, and care, he will return to his full form.”
When asked about the ongoing court case, Gurucharan’s father said, “That’s going on since 50 years but God knows what will happen now.”
Earlier, his friend, Bhakti Soni, had shared that the actor had stopped eating food since his return home in May 2024. For the uninitiated, Singh had gone missing for almost a month last year which sent everyone into a frenzy. Later, it was revealed that he had gone on a spiritual retreat without telling anyone.
Recently, Gurucharan’s friend Bhakti revealed that he has secured a branded deal, which will pay him Rs 13 lakh. For the same, the actor will soon travel to Mumbai for a shoot. This deal, the friend shared, will help Singh in repaying his debts.
This comes days after Bhakti Soni said that Gurucharan Singh needs to repay a loan of Rs 1.5 crore. She also claimed that nobody, including Singh’s family, was helping him during this difficult time.
Gurcharan Singh played the role of Roshan Singh Sodhi in TMKOC, however, left the show in 2012. He returned next year due to public demand. After his exit in 2020, he was replaced by actor Balwinder Singh Suri.
