Gurucharan Singh has opened up about his absence.

‘God gave me a sign and that made me return home’

During the interview, Gurucharan said, "I have always been spiritual because of my parents and at this point in life when I was feeling low, I turned towards God. I went on a spiritual journey and had no plans of coming back. But God gave me a sign and that made me return home. Many people think I planned my disappearance for publicity, but that’s not true. If I wanted publicity, I could have given interviews to talk about the pending dues for my work in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. I could have used social media to do that, but I didn’t. Even after coming back home, I didn’t give any interviews, but now I am speaking up because I want to clarify certain things that people are saying about me,”

More details

Gurucharan also added that he wants the industry to support him by giving him work. “I am back and want to do a lot of work. I also want to pay off all the loans and debts that I have, one by one. That can happen through my work, and I am ready to work hard. I have realized that I can continue my spiritual journey even when fulfilling my other responsibilities in life.”

The actor had gone missing in April when he left his Delhi home to take a flight to Mumbai. The actor was supposed to board a flight from Delhi to Mumbai on April 22 evening but never reached his destination. Soon after he returned to his residence in the national capital, the actor was questioned by Delhi Police, and his statement recorded before a local court. On Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Gurucharan essayed the role of Roshan Singh Sodhi.
