Dilip Joshi had told in an interview- ‘This is a very insecure line, it is not that once someone becomes a hit for a role in it, you will get work for the rest of your life. Like I got Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, I was sitting empty for one and a half years after that.
Dilip had said- ‘The serials that were there had stopped, my play was also completed. So at that time I had no work at all. That period was full of struggle. I didn’t know what to do then. Now which new line to catch at this age. Then by the grace of God, got this serial. From the year 2008 till now, Dilip Joshi is working with show maker Asit Modi.
