Tarak Mehta No More, Condolences Pouring On Twitter

Noted writer, playwright and columnist, Tarak Mehta passed away today at the age of 87 after suffering from a prolonged illness.

His column Duniya Ne Undha Chasma in the Gujarati language was the inspiration behind the hugely popular television daily, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Mehta was not well from past 3-4 months and finally rested in peace this morning. The columnist was also a profound figure in Gujarati theatre and translated and adapted various comedies for Gujarati audience.

As soon as the news broke out in the morning, people from all over the country extended their condolences, along with Gujarat’s Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and Actor Paresh Rawal.

Tarak Mehta’s demise is sad. His writing was much different than the show he is associated with. Light, enjoyable yet probing humor.
