Jennifer filed a case against the producer of the serial, Asit Modi, alleging racial discrimination. In an interview, Jennifer stated, “It was Gurucharan who saved me from Asit Modi’s inappropriate behavior in Singapore.
When Asit Modi tried to flirt and touch me, Gurucharan intervened and warned Asit Modi to stay away. He was aware of Asit Modi’s actions. In May 2023, Gurucharan assured me that he wouldn’t speak about it in the media, but he would definitely speak up in court if necessary.”
“Suddenly Disappeared Again”
Jennifer further elaborated, “Unexpectedly, on June 9, 2023, Gurucharan called me and asked to meet. He told me that Asit Modi had returned his pending three years’ worth of money. Hearing this, I immediately thought that he might not speak up for me now.
He even mentioned that he could resolve the matter with Asit. Hearing Gurucharan’s words, I felt alarmed because the police had advised against resolving the issue with any individual.”

Gurucharan, in an interview, revealed the reasons behind his move to Mumbai, stating that as his debts mounted, he found himself in a tight spot, struggling to recover owed money. Unable to find any source of income and facing financial challenges, he decided to relocate to Mumbai.
After residing there for six months, he landed the role of Roshan Singh Sodhi in the popular television show “Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah” in 2008.

Gurucharan had been associated with this show since 2008 but parted ways in 2013, only to return in 2014 due to public demand. After working for six years, he left the show again in 2020. His role was later taken over by Balvinder Singh Suri, while Roshan Singh’s character was reassigned.
Following his departure, Gurucharan didn’t appear in any other serial. He explained, “During that time, my father had to undergo surgery, which led me to leave the show. There were also other reasons, and I had to focus on him. Life was moving forward, and I didn’t want to dwell on this matter.”
