TMKOC: Jethalal, i.e., Dilip Joshi of the serial ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma’, does not need any introduction today. Dilip Joshi has made a special place in the hearts of the audience by playing this character for 25 years. Although he worked in many films and shows during his career, he got real success only by becoming ‘Jethalal’. But you will be surprised to know that before getting this role, the actor was unemployed for one and a half years. Despite 24 years of experience, he was not getting any work.
Dilip Joshi’s story of bad times
Dilip Joshi revealed about this experience in an interview. Talking about his bad times in an interview given to Dr. Preeti on her YouTube channel, the actor said, ‘If you want to do something, it is good, if you don’t want to do something, it is even better. The best way to stay away from stress is to let things go as they are and keep working hard. Usually, we are stressed because we keep thinking about the future, and when something does not happen according to our planning, we get tense. That’s why I follow this in life – if it is according to your wish, it is good, and if it is not according to your wish, it is even better. I heard this from Amitabh Bachchan ji in an interview many years ago.’
Did not get work even after 20-24 years of experience
Dilip Joshi further said, ‘If I talk about ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’, I had got a very good role before this. At that time, I was in dire need of work because I was sitting idle for one and a half years. Even after 20-24 years of experience in this field, I had no work. During that time, I got a very attractive offer, but for some reason, it did not work.’
What is Jethalal’s life mantra?
Jethalal then said, ‘I was thinking that friend, what is God testing me at such a moment? But soon I got TMKOC, and at that time I realized that when God makes plans for you, it is good. This is the key to remove stress, if it is according to your wish, then it is good, and if it is not according to your wish, then it is even better.’
