'Jethalal', a.k.a Dilip Joshi and 'Babita ji', essayed by Munmun Dutta's chemistry, is one of the top highlights of the hit sitcom, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. 'Jethalal' and 'Babita' have a different fan base altogether and the die-hard fans know that 'Jethalal' tries his level best to flirt with 'Babita ji', his true love outside his marriage. However, do you know that in reality the duo reportedly had a fallout? Things had turned so ugly that Dilip had gotten angry at Munmun. Let's take a trip down memory lane to find out what had exactly happened.
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been entertaining its fans for a decade now. However, the stars have had off-screen drama on the sets. As per a report by ETimes, it was in 2017 when Dilip a.k.a 'Jethalal's' friends had visited the TMKOC sets. When they visited they wanted to click a picture with 'Babita ji'. Dilip, being a good host, had approached the actress with the request. Things took a weird turn when she refused to give a picture and gave the guests a cold shoulder. The behaviour did not gel well with Dilip. Reportedly, he confronted the actress and expressed his dissatisfaction over the same.
Dilip said that such behaviour could negatively impact her personality. He had reportedly also advised the actress to avoid showcasing attitude, especially when the requests were minor. The incident reportedly had become the talk of the set and tensions grew between both the stars. Neither Dilip nor Munmun had addressed the rift between the duo. Despite the reported differences, they have continued to play their roles with a lot of professionalism on the sets of the show.

It should have piousness. Jaise harr joh purush hota hai usse khubsurat aurat achi lagti hai. It is not more than that and he doesn’t have any malice in his heart."
