Bhavya Gandhi has hit the headlines for all the right reasons. After a long time, the actor has made a comeback on television, and fans can't hold their excitement. He has signed the dotted line to play a psychotic antagonist in Pushpa Impossible, and Bhavya is quite excited about it. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the young heartthrob revealed what took him years to return to the TV screens after exiting Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.

Bhavya Gandhi told Pinkvilla, "I was never gone (laughs). I was looking for an opportunity for which I can feel the challenge to do. Before Pushpa Impossible, most of the roles revolved around Tapu, and hence, I didn't agree with them. I was just waiting for the right opportunity and role so that I could challenge myself. " 

He added, "Although I don't want to raise the image of Tapu in people's minds, I want to explore it more and more. In Pushpa Impossible, my character is named Prabhaas. He can do anything and is a complex and deeply troubled individual." Further, when asked if he was nervous or excited about the comeback, he delightedly said, "Oh! I am extremely excited. Since it's a challenge for me to play Prabbhaas' character, I would love even if people don't accept me in such a role."

After his exit, Raj Anadkat joined the show to play Tapu, and now, Nitish Bhaluni has stepped into the shoes of the character. Post TMKOC, the actor went on to work in the Gujarati industry. On the work front, he will be seen in an upcoming film, Ajab Raat Ni Gajab Vaat. Bhavya also has a movie, Om Sweet Om,  in the pipeline. Further, he has also joined the cast of Kesari Veer, which features Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, and Sooraj Pancholi.
