“We have been working together for 13 years now. When people talk about a rift, I just laugh it off. Just because someone wants to write something to grab eyeballs on social media, they cook up a story. I don't even feel like clarifying things now or stating that all is well. We are a great team, which is why the show is doing so well. I am comfortable working with my co-actors and the entire team. That is probably why I have not thought about doing anything else. My character and my team keep me going,” Dilip Joshi said.

Speaking about his character, Dilip Joshi called his character Jethalal as beautiful and said he receives immense love from people when he steps out.

“Jethalal is a beautiful character and even today, whenever I go out, people shower me with so much love. They keep telling us to keep the show going. It is a well-defined character, which is one of the reasons why it is so successful,” he added.

Joshi also said that he does get offers for web series but he is ‘happy playing Jethalal’ as of now.
