Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Bhavya Gandhi has finally responded to the viral rumors claiming he got engaged to Munmun Dutta, who plays Babita Ji in the popular sitcom. The speculation about the two co-stars shocked fans across social media — but Bhavya has now set the record straight.
Bhavya Gandhi Munmun Dutta Engagement – The Viral Rumor That Shocked Fans
In recent days, social media platforms were flooded with claims that Bhavya Gandhi, known for playing Tappu, and Munmun Dutta (Babita Ji) had secretly gotten engaged. The reports sparked intense chatter mainly because of the 10-year age gap between the two actors.
Photos of Bhavya and Munmun together went viral, fueling the gossip. However, Bhavya quickly dismissed the reports in an interview, clarifying that there’s no truth behind these engagement claims.
Speaking to Hindi Rush, the actor said,
“The Tappu they’re talking about isn’t me. The rumors came from Vadodara, and both my mother and I got so many calls about it. I just want to say — yes, I played Tappu, but I am not that person in these rumors.”

Bhavya Gandhi and His Mother’s Reaction
Bhavya revealed that his mother was shocked when she received a call asking about his supposed engagement.
“One person called my mom saying my engagement happened. She got angry and asked if he had lost his mind,” Bhavya shared with a laugh.
He further emphasized that these stories are baseless and completely fabricated, adding that he considers Munmun Dutta like an elder sister and has learned a lot from her professionally.
The Taarak Mehta Connection and Bhavya’s Career
Bhavya Gandhi began playing Tappu in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah in 2008, when he was just a child. He continued in the role until 2017, when he decided to explore other acting opportunities.
When asked about a potential comeback, Bhavya expressed openness:
“Yes, I’d love to return to Taarak Mehta. That show made me who I am today. I still remember that 500 kids auditioned for Tappu’s role, and I was chosen. I’ll always be grateful.”
What’s Next for Bhavya Gandhi?
The young actor is now focusing on new film projects and says he’s determined to grow beyond his child-star image. Meanwhile, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah continues to dominate Indian television as it enters its 17th year.
