Despite its long run, the show remains a beloved favourite, with its cast of quirky characters and humorous storylines. However, behind the scenes, the show has seen several cast changes over the years, including the departure of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/news\/movies\/neha-mehta-opens-up-on-her-exit-from-taarak-mehta-ka-ooltah-chashmah-wanted-to-consider-my-return-2944495.html\">Neha Mehta<\/a>, who charmed viewers as Anjali Mehta.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">In a candid interview with Telly Masala, Neha Mehta, who played the cherished role of Anjali Mehta, expressed her willingness to reprise her character in the show. When asked if she misses her co-stars, Neha responded warmly, \u201cMiss nahi karti, sadev mere hriday mai hai, channel on karo, TV on karo, mai vaha hu voh yaha hai (I don\u2019t miss them. They are always in my heart. I switch on the channel and TV, I can see them).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Regarding the possibility of rejoining the programme, Neha said, \u201cAsit (Asit Modi) sir bolenge toh unke liye sab kuch kar lungi. (If Asit sir says, I will do everything for him).&#8221; Her words imply a deep affection for the show and its creator.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Neha Mehta expressed her willingness to return as Anjali Mehta, stating she would love to come back if her audience requests it. In the same conversation, she added, \u201cAudience ke liye sab kuch kar lungi. Meri audience agar bole aap bano Anjali Mehta vapis toh mai bann jaungi. Vaise toh mai hu hi. Toh uljano mai fasna Neha Mehta ka kaam hi nahi hai. Voh toh behti rehti hai (I would do anything for the audience. I will be Anjali Mehta again if my audience asks. Although I am already here. So, getting caught up in complications is not Neha Mehta\u2019s style. She just flows).&#8221; Her words demonstrate her dedication to her fans and a flexible attitude towards her craft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Neha Mehta\u2019s exit from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah in 2020 left fans stunned. According to the actress, the reason for her departure was payment issues. In an interview with Bombay Times, Neha revealed, \u201cI acted in Taarak Mehta as Anjali for 12 years before quitting in 2020. The last six months\u2019 money is pending.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">She further shared, \u201cAfter I quit the show, I called them a few times regarding my pending dues. I don\u2019t like complaining\u2026 hopefully, there will be a solution soon and I will receive my hard-earned money.&#8221; Despite her remarks, there has been no update on the matter since.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/chirag-mugshot-2023-11-497616095485420c6efb4b620d94357d-scaled.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/chirag-sehgal-21023.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Chirag Sehgal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chirag Sehgal works as a Sub-Editor in the Entertainment team at News18.com.
