Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Bhide aka Mandar Chandwadkar detects positive for coronavirus, under home quarantine

After Sunderlal aka Mayurk Vakani, another actor from the most popular comedy show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has tested COVID19 positive. Actor Mandar Chandwadkar, who plays the role of Bhide in the show, has been diagnosed with the novel coronavirus. As per TOI, the actor started to show symptoms including cold for a week and got himself tested. Confirmed the same, Mandar told ETimes, "My symptoms of cold had actually gone away but suddenly yesterday I could not smell camphor in puja. I felt I had lost the sense of smell and got myself tested. Upon getting the test, I immediately informed



the 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' unit that I shall stay away from the shoot until I am perfectly alright again."

Bhide aka Mandar Chandwadkar is currently in home quarantine. The show's plot is currently revolving around Bhide so the actor's Covid positive reports have left the makers worried. The actor was shooting with co-stars Sonalika Joshi and Palak Sindhwani and has asked them to get tested as well.

Mandar said, "I have told Sonalika and Palak also to get themselves tested. Rishi, an AD on the show had a bit of cold and I told him too, he has thankfully tested negative."
