Jheel Mehta almost quit Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah long before she actually left the show. This happened over one moment when she wondered what was she doing on the show produced by Asit Kumarr Modi. This was the time when Jheel was still a little kid on the show, and TMKOC had just commenced. There was this particular episode that made Jheel uncomfortable, and the thought of quitting what would be one of the most successful TV shows in Indian history might have seen only her brief association had she let her mind take control and quit the show. Know the one moment that made her almost quit the show...

Sonu-Tapu's child marriage made Jheel Mehta almost quit TMKOC

When TMKOC had just begun, Jheel Mehta's Sonu and Bhavya Gandhi's Tapu got into a child marriage. Fortunately, that happened to be just a dream sequence but even the thought of it - of losing innocence right after playing cricket together - left her traumatized. Jheel revealed so during her podcast with Siddhesh Lokare. "Main soch rahi thi main ye serial kyu kar rahi hu?" she questioned. The actress found the thoughts very weird, funny, and crazy. For sure, there was a moment when she asked herself if she should quit the show already. Fortunately, she was associated with it for longer.

When Jheel Mehta finally quit TMKOC

After being associated with TMKOC since the very start, Jheel Mehta eventually quit the show in 2012. This happened because she wanted to pursue projects other than acting alone. Jheel shifted her focus to make-up and business. Today, she is a successful make-up artist and co-owns a business with her mother.

Jheel Mehta came back into the spotlight after she got married in real life. The actress tied the knot with her long-time partner Aditya Dube and they are currently enjoying their newly married life.
