Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actors Munmun Dutta and Raj Anadkat are engaged, News18 Showsha has exclusively learnt from a reliable source. Munmun, 36, and Raj, 27, exchanged rings earlier this month in the presence of their respective families, the source informed us. While Munmun plays the role of Babita in the popular sitcom, Raj played Dilip Joshi’s son Tappu in the show. Raj announced his departure from TMKOC in December 2022.
The source close to the actors told us that Munmun and Raj got engaged in a low-key ceremony outside Mumbai. “The engagement took place just a few days back. The two apparently exchanged rings in Vadodara (Gujarat). Munmun and Raj’s families have accepted their relationship and they were also present at the ceremony,” the source said.
“They have been dating ever since Raj joined Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. It was very evident. Everyone on the sets knew about it. In fact, some people were certain that Munmun and Raj would get married eventually. Therefore, it is not shocking that they are engaged now,” the source added.
News18 Showsha repeatedly reached out to Munmun Dutta and Raj Anadkat for their comment but neither of the two have reverted yet.
However, soon after News18 Showsha’s report grabbed everyone’s attention Munmun dismissed engagement buzz and issued a statement which read, “This news is ridiculous, fake and ludicrous. Zero ounce of truth in it. And frankly, I don’t want to give my energy to this fake thing that keeps coming up again and again.”
Later, Raj also took to his Instagram stories and called the engagement report false. “Hello everyone. Just to clear things up, the news you’ve been seeing on social media is false & baseless,” he wrote.
The news about Munmun Dutta and Raj Anadkat allegedly dating was first reported by Times of India in September 2021. The TOI report stated that each and every member of team ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah was aware of the duo’s relationship. However, Munmun had dismissed the report and put out a strong denial on her social media handle.
“To the media and their zero credibility ‘journos’, who has given you the right to post ‘imaginary’ ‘made up’ articles in people’s name about their private life without their consent? Are you liable to the damage that you cause to their lives with your reckless behaviour? You don’t stop at shoving your cameras on the face of a grieving woman who just lost her love or lost her son, in a funeral, just for your TRPs. You can stoop to any level to create sensational articles/headlines at the cost of someone’s dignity, but are you going to take responsibility for wrecking havoc in their lives?? If no then, you should be ashamed of yourself!!” she had written.
Later, Raj also addressed the dating rumours and issued a statement on Instagram. “To everyone, who has been constantly writing about me, THINK of the repercussions that can happen in my life because of your ‘COOKED UP’ (false) stories and that too about my life without my consent. All the creative people out there please channelise your creativity somewhere else it will be helpful to you. May God bless them with good sense.”
