Well back in 2017, it so happened that actor Shyam Pathak, who portrays Popatlal in the sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, was asked to leave the show after a heated argument with producer Asit Modi. Well talking about the reason for this we will have to jump a little back to when Dilip Joshi aka Jethalal had gone to London for an event.

Dilip Joshi was called on public demand. With Dilip’s departure from the venue, the show’s team had to make changes to the shooting schedule. With that being said, on arrival, Dilip learned that not only he but Poptlal aka Shyam Pathak was also invited, as their comedy duo was extremely hilarious. Without wasting any time Dilip called Shyam there and the latter went on without any hesitation.

The only mistake Shyam did was not informing the team which lead to a big disruption in the shooting process. On returning back from London, Shyam got into a heated argument with Asit Modi, which later on turned into his leave from the show. He was in fact jobless for four days before he realised his mistake and apologized to them, which helped him return back on the show.
