On July 16, Gurucharan Singh and Asit Modi met at the latter’s office in Mumbai. This meeting set off a wave of speculation among netizens, wondering if Singh was negotiating a return to the sitcom. However, reports have revealed that this meeting did not result in Singh’s return to TMKOC. Singh had approached Modi with the request to be cast back into the show, claiming that the new Roshan Singh Sodhi was not being well-received by the audience. Despite his plea, Modi remained firm in his decision not to bring Singh back.
Singh was quite insistent on his return, citing the audience’s dissatisfaction with the current actor playing Roshan Singh Sodhi. He even requested Modi to address the media about this issue, which Modi refused. The reasons behind Modi’s decision were rooted in a broader context that involved both personal and professional considerations.

In an interview with Indian Express, Singh explained his actions and his relationship with Asit Modi. “When I went missing, Asit Kumarr Modi sent me a message asking me to call him. Once I returned, I made it a point to meet with everyone who reached out to me. Given that he has been instrumental in my career, it was important for me to see him,” Singh stated. This comment underscores the personal bond between the actor and the producer, but it also highlights the complexities of their professional relationship.
Asit Modi opened up about their meeting and the reasons behind his decision in a statement. “For me, Sodhi is like my family. He was associated with us for a long period of time. After leaving the show for personal reasons, he used to come to meet me whenever he used to visit Mumbai.” Modi’s comments reflect his concern and affection for Singh, but they also indicate a finality in his decision regarding the casting.

Modi further elaborated, “I was worried about him for what he did sometime back and out of concern I messaged him. He visited our office today and we had a heart-to-heart conversation and gave him best wishes for his future.” This statement indicates that while Modi cares for Singh’s well-being, professional decisions regarding the show are separate from their personal rapport.
Gurucharan Singh played the role of Roshan Singh Sodhi, a character known for his fun-loving nature and his perpetual party mode. He was a founding member of the TMKOC cast and became a beloved figure among the show’s fans. Singh left the show in 2013, only to return the following year due to public demand. His final exit came in 2020, after which he was replaced by Balwinder Singh Suri. Since then, Singh has been absent from television screens, and his fans have missed his presence.
With Singh not returning to TMKOC, the show will continue with Balwinder Singh Suri in the role of Roshan Singh Sodhi. This decision has put an end to the speculations and rumors about a potential comeback. The reasons behind this decision, as revealed by both Singh and Modi, highlight the complex interplay of personal bonds and professional decisions in the world of television.
