The popular comedy show ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ (TMKOC) is once again reported to be a big shock. According to reports, the show’s old and leading artist Ambika Ranjankar, who was playing the role of ‘Rita Reporter’, has now said goodbye to the show. However, neither has any official confirmation from the production house about this nor Ambika has issued any public statement, but this news has created a stir on social media.

Ambika Ranjankar was playing this character since 2008. ‘Rita Reporter’ was seen in the show as a sharp and combative news reporter and her style was very pleasing to the audience. Although her character was not always in the main focus, whenever she came on screen, she used to leave her mark.

Another big name, out of the show?

‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma’ has been in discussion about the continuous exit of artists for the last few years. Daya Bhabhi (Disha Wakani), Tappu (Raj Anandat/Bhavya Gandhi), Anjali Bhabhi (Neha Mehta/Sunaina Faujdar), Shailesh Lodha (Tarak Mehta) have left the show.

Now Ambika Ranjankar’s withdrawal from the show can be another shock, especially for her fans who have been crazy about ‘Rita Reporter’ dialogues and chutle questions for 17 years.

Just rumor or any sign?

Recently, Ambika Ranjankar shared some posts on social media in which she mentioned words like ‘Naye Start’ and ‘Nai Disha’. It is being speculated that they are moving towards a new project. However, he has clearly not confirmed the release of ‘Tarak Mehta…’.

On the other hand, no official reaction has been revealed by the TMKOC production team. In such a situation, it is too early to say whether this news is completely true or just a rumor.

Fans are doing emotional reactions

The show’s fans are seen expressing disappointment on social media. On Twitter and Instagram, hashtags like ‘#Bringbackritareporter’ have started trending. Many viewers say that “Old faces are going one by one, the soul of the show is losing.”
