From Bhavya Gandhi to Nidhi Bhanushali, Here's how Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s child actors look now

On and off-screen, the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah performers are like one huge family. These child artists, like their show, have a strong camaraderie and are frequently spotted hanging out together. Despite quitting the TV show, these kids are frequently seen spending time together, and their dramatic transformation will astound their fans. Here's a look at Taarak Mehta’s child actors who went through major transformations and how they look now:

2/8

Bhavya Gandhi

Bhavya Gandhi, who played the role of original Tapu when the show began in 2008, was only nine year-old when he began a career in television with the show. He literally grew along with the show and was seen as a teenager on the show. He quit the TV show in 2017 as he wanted to pursue films.

3/8

Nidhi Bhanushali

Nidhi Bhanushali, who played Sonu in the show from 2012-2017, is known to be wild at heart and has stunned most of her fans with her transformation look. Nidhi joined the show at the age of 13 and left after working in it for 5 long years. Nidhi is all grown up now and recently she shared a post where she is seen in a bikini top with skirt and that look left her fans amazed. Further, the former child actor even chopped off her long hair unlike her onscreen avatar.

4/8

Jheel Mehta

Jheel Mehta, who played the role of young Sonu on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has grown up into a beautiful lady. She was with the show since its inception but left the show in 2012 as she wanted to pursue her studies. As the young actress was unable to balance her job and academics, she left the show.

5/8

Samay Shah

Samay Shah, known as Gogi, portrays the son of Roshan Kaur Sodhi and Roshan Singh Sodhi. He has also been with the show since the start. In the show, Samay is seen sporting a turban but in real life he has short hair and looks really different. He joined the show as a kid but has now grown up to be a handsome youngster.

6/8

Kush Shah

Goli is the Hathi family's darling. Kush Shah plays Komal Hansraj Hathi, Dr. Hansraj Hathi's son in the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. He also joined the show as a kid in 2008 and now he has grown tall and is 25 year old now.

7/8

Tarun Uppal

Pinku, aka Tarun Uppal, who is also a member of the Tapu Sena, is another grown-up and has impressed everyone with his looks.

8/8

Vrutansh Upadhyay

Vrutansh from Taarak Mehta was 13 when he starred in the show as Sameer and is now an 18 year-old teenager. Vrutansh looks quite different and left all his fans stunned by his transformation. He also spoke with ETimes TV on working as Sameer in the show, he said “The experience of doing TMKOC was great. Everyone on the set was good, and the director was good. The cast of TMKOC is very good, like in reality they live like a family.”
