Surbhi Chandna to Mahira Sharma; popular TV celebs who did brief roles in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the oldest sitcoms of the Indian television industry. A few days ago, the show completed 13 years of its successful run and the cast and crew celebrated it with utmost zeal. The show's characters have funny cartoon sketches and memes made upon them by the netizens. Here's a look at popular TV actors who did brief roles in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah:

Surbhi Chandna is a renowned name in the entertainment industry now and has shows like Ishqbaaz, Naagin 5 to her credit. However, very few know that before making it big in showbiz, Surbhi made a cameo appearance in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. She'd played the role of Jethalal's secretary, who, later, cons everyone by claiming to be Jethalal's wife. This creates a huge ruckus in Gokuldham Society.

Former Bigg Boss 13 contestant and Punjabi actress Mahira Sharma hosted one of the events organised by the Tapu Sena at Gokuldham Society. Apart from this, she also played the role of Anjali Taarak Mehta's younger sister in one of the episodes. Currently, Mahira is setting the internet on fire with his sassy photoshoots and a huge line-up of work.

Splitsvilla 12 fame Aradhana Sharma appeared recently on the show as one of the staff members of the resort that Popatlal had visited to bust the blackmarketers' secret of selling Covid medicines and injections at strikingly huge rates. Her role Deepti caught everyone's attention and the dialogue 'Cash Hai Toh Aish Hai' became popular. Speaking about her experience working with TMKOC, in an exclusive interview with Etimes TV, she said, "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah brought a boom to my career. I have received so much love. People see me and scream, ‘Arre Deepti, cash hai toh aish hai’. When you are known by your character name, it’s a blessing. It’s a small step towards an achievement."

Rakesh Bedi is a stalwart in the entertainment industry and plays the role of Taarak Mehta's boss (editor) on the show. He is mostly seen when Taarak has to request for leaves to rescue his 'param mitra' (best friend) Jethalal from a problem. His character is shown as someone, who refuses to grant a leave to his employee Taarak but eventually gives in.

Simple Kaul is fondly remembered as Pam from the show, Shararat. She played the role of a Kashmiri woman, who turns Jethalal's life upside down by claiming to be his wife. She had put up a tent outside Gokuldham Society to prove it to everyone that Jethalal and she exchanged wedding vows in the mountains, which he seems to have been forgotten about.

Kari Irwin Otteburn is an American actress, who is fond of Indian cinema and was seen as an extra in films like My Name is Khan, Un Hazaroon Ke Naam and a few more. However, it was only after her appearance as 'Kerry' in the show, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah that she gained fame. The actress, to date, keeps sharing videos and photos of her 'Navratri' sequence and other scenes from the show on her social media handle.
