Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah:‘Hamare zamaane mein’, Mandar Chandwadkar’s humorous take on power cut on sets
Mandar Chandwadkar aka Bhide from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah took to social media and made a funny video regarding the power cuts on the sets of the show.
Mandar Chandwadkar, who is known for playing the role of Bhide Master in the popular show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah recently took to Instagram to post a hilarious video about power cuts on the sets of the show. The actor often uses the phrase “Hamare Zamane Mein” in the show as the signature dialogue of his character, i.e. Bhide.
This dialogue is often used to relate any current situation to the ones faced by Bhide in the past, especially while he was growing up. Chandarwarkar tried to imitate the same dialogue off camera, while he was in the make-up room.
‘In our time even power cut was celebrated as festival’, says Mandar Chandwadkar
Mandar Chandwadkar was in the makeup room, sharing a side-splitting video about the frequent power cuts on the sets of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. He began by reminiscing about his youth, humorously recalling how power outages were a regular occurrence back then. He pointed out that despite the lack of electricity, people never stopped working, using candles and kerosene lamps to get by.
Surrounded by darkness in the makeup room, Mandar jokes, "With this nostalgic thought, we'll be doing the makeup using the mobile torch light." Just as he made this suggestion, adding a touch of old-world charm to the modern inconvenience, the electricity suddenly came back on. His reaction was priceless—utterly clueless and bewildered at the perfect timing of the power restoration.
To top it off, with impeccable comedic timing, he concluded, "No worries, next time we'll do the makeup by candlelight!" The video perfectly captured Mandar's ability to find humor in everyday situations, making his fans laugh along with him.
