Mumbai, May 4

Actor Mandar Chandwadkar, known for playing the role of the conscientious Atmaram Tukaram Bhide in the comedy show 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' posed with actors Rakesh Bedi and Dilip Joshi, whom he tagged as "Dhurandhar" and "Legends".

Mandar shared a picture posing with Rakesh Bedi, who has shot to fame by playing Jameel Jamali in Aditya Dhar's "Dhurandhar" duology and Dilip Joshi, who essays the role of the lovable yet quirky businessman Jethalal Gada in the television show.

"With Dhurandar (1) and Dhurandar (2)... its sooo joyful and fun to share screen with these two legends.. thank you god," wrote Mandar as the caption on Instagram.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is based on the weekly column Duniya Ne Undha Chasma by Tarak Mehta for the magazine Chitralekha. Produced by Asit Kumarr Modi, it is one of the longest-running television series in India.

The series is set in Mumbai and follows the lives of the residents of Gokuldham Co-operative Housing Society, a diverse community with people from different cultural and regional backgrounds.

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar was based on a high-stakes covert counter-terrorism operation.

The second installment traces the story of an undercover Indian intelligence agent who continues to infiltrate Karachi's criminal syndicates and Pakistani politics while avenging the 26/11 attacks and confronting bigger threats. The film's storyline draws loosely on several real-life geopolitical events and conflicts in South Asia.

The film features Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, and Danish Pandor.

Talking about Mandar, apart from 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah', he also known for performing in theatre.

He formed his own theatre group in 1998 and performed in three Hindi-Marathi comedies. Mandar has also directed several one-act plays. He has been active in both Hindi and Marathi teleserials and has acted in over 30 of them.

Great to see Mandar Chandwadkar ji getting recognition beyond TMKOC! He's actually a brilliant theatre actor - directed over 30 plays. People don't realize how much effort goes into playing Bhide's character with that perfect Marathi accent. And yes, Rakesh Bedi and Dilip Joshi are absolute legends. Dhurandhar series mein Bedi sir ka role dekh ke wajah aa gayi!

Honestly, the caption is a bit confusing - calling Rakesh Bedi "Dhurandhar" when the real Dhurandhar film was about terrorism and 26/11. But okay, actors need to have fun with their characters. TMKOC has been running for over 15 years now - that's crazy dedication! Just wish they'd move beyond repetitive comedy plots.

Bhide sahab ka theatre background ka pata nahi tha! Thanks for sharing. TMKOC ke characters toh Indian households mein ghar ke member jaise ho gaye hain. Jethalal, Bhide, Sodhi, and now Rakesh Bedi ji in Dhurandhar - humare childhood ke heroes! Zindagi bhar ka entertainment ye log de gaye. 👏

I wish TMKOC would do more crossovers with other shows. Imagine Bhide and Jethalal in some comedy skit with Rakesh Bedi's character from Dhurandhar? That would be epic! But seriously, Dilip Joshi is one of India's most underrated actors - his expressions are pure gold. Mandar bhai bhi underrated hi hain.
