Bhavya Gandhi talks about quitting Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chahsmah
In an exclusive interview with TellyTalk, Bhavya Gandhi said, "Unhone bola ke tujhe karna hai toh bhi we are with you aur tujhe nahi karna hai toh bhi we are with you. And then shayad, woh samay mai kya exactly soch raha tha woh yaad nahi hai lekin bas mujhe itna yaad hai ke mai darra hua toh tha ke 'what if' woh jo ek question aata tha na, woh bahot satata tha. (Makers told me that they'll be fine if I decide to stay back in the show or quit the same. I don't exactly know what I was thinking at that point in time, but I was definitely scared to think about the future. The 'what ifs' did trouble me a lot.)"

Bhavya Gandhi on serving multiple notice periods
The Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor further mentioned that he didn't abruptly leave the show and followed the legal format of quitting. He said, "Maine bahot hi jo hamara legal format hota hai show chodne ka, jaise teen mahine ka notice period hota hai, waise teen baar dii hai, so technically 9 months ka notice serve kiya hai. Aur uske baad humne yeh decision liye ke show chhodna nahi bas bidaai leni hai."
(I followed the legal format to quit the show and served three months of notice period, not once, but thrice. So, technically, I served a notice period of nine months. It was after that, I decided that I'd bid adieu to the show.)
