Actor Mandar Chandwadkar, who plays the lead character of Aatmaram Bhide, has rebuffed the rumours of leaving the show. Sharing a video message, the actor rubbished all rumours of quitting TMKOC and also reflected on the misuse of social media with fake rumours.
Actor Mandar Chandwadkar, who plays Bhide in the TMKOC, recently shared on his social media handle that all the rumours pointing to his exit from the sitcom are false. In a video message dropped on Instagram, Mandar is seen addressing the issue of fake news that circulates on social media without authenticity. He begins the video by extending Janmashtami wishes to his followers and fans, followed by a long message where he expresses surprise at the misuse of social media platforms.

The Marathi actor expressed deep sadness over the false rumours on social media and clarified that the image used in the thumbnail dates back to the time when TMKOC completed 16 years.
“Guys please do not believe in rumours..and please do not spread it..TMKOC show have been entertaining all of you since 2008 and it will continue the same in coming years..just wanted to convey the truth so posted this reel..lots of gratitude and lots of love,” Bhide wrote in caption.
