Did you know Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Babita ji aka Munmun Dutta worked with Shah Rukh Khan before this sitcom?
While speaking to Farah Khan in her recent vlog, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Munmun Dutta shared her experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan before she joined the sitcom.
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Munmun Dutta, popularly known as Babita, became a household name after her role in the sitcom. However, Munmun entered the industry at a young age and worked on various projects, including ad films. Recently, the actress opened up in a candid conversation with Farah Khan, reminiscing about her experience working with Bollywood's king, Shah Rukh Khan.
Filmmaker Farah Khan visited Munmun Dutta's house to spend some time with the actress and enjoy authentic Bengali cuisine. While chatting with Farah, Munmun reminded her that they had worked together on an ad film long ago. Farah recollected the memory and mentioned that it was 15–20 years ago, before Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah began. Farah shared that they had shot the ad in Film City and that Shah Rukh Khan was also a part of it.
Farah was surprised to learn that Munmun had been in the same ad film with Shah Rukh Khan. Munmun revealed that there were three girls in the ad, and she was one of them. She shared, "I'm very lucky, and we (the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah team) always feel that we are blessed because Shah Rukh sir is very fond of us."
Farah Khan responded, "Everybody is fond of you all." Munmun expressed her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, stating that she had acted alongside many actors in the industry, but no one was like him. She further revealed, "He has been my childhood crush."
Farah teased her for calling him a "childhood crush," to which Munmun playfully corrected herself, saying that Shah Rukh Khan is her "eternal crush." The two had a candid and enjoyable conversation while relishing the Bengali cuisine prepared by Munmun.
Currently, Munmun Dutta continues to star in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. The hit sitcom has become one of the longest-running shows on Indian television. Along with Munmun, the show also features Dilip Joshi, Amit Bhatt, Mandar Chandwadkar, and more.
