Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actors Munmun Dutta and Raj Anadkat swiftly refuted rumors of their alleged engagement in Vadodara shortly after the news spread online. On Wednesday, Raj took to his Instagram Stories to address the matter, stating, “Hello Everyone, Just to clear things up, the news you’ve been seeing on social media is false and baseless. Team Raj Anadkat.” Munmun, speaking to Times of India, dismissed the rumors as “ridiculous, fake, and ludicrous,” emphasizing that there is no truth to them whatsoever. She expressed her reluctance to engage with such false narratives repeatedly surfacing.
The clarification came shortly after a close source revealed to News18 that Munmun, known for her role as Babita, and Raj, who portrayed Dilip Joshi’s son Tappu in the beloved sitcom, exchanged engagement rings earlier this month, surrounded by their families. Describing the event, the source stated, “The engagement occurred just a few days ago. The two reportedly exchanged rings in Vadodara, Gujarat. Munmun and Raj’s families have embraced their relationship, and they were all present at the ceremony.”
The source further elaborated, indicating that Munmun and Raj had been in a relationship since Raj joined the cast of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, which was apparent to everyone on set. There was widespread awareness, and some individuals were even confident that Munmun and Raj would eventually tie the knot. Thus, the news of their engagement didn’t come as a surprise to many.
Earlier, when dating rumors circulated in 2021, both Munmun and Raj responded individually on Instagram. Raj expressed his frustration, urging those spreading false stories to consider the potential consequences on his life. He wrote, “To everyone who has been constantly writing about me, THINK of the repercussions that can happen in my life because of your ‘COOKED UP’ (false) stories about my life without my consent. All the creative people out there, please channelize your creativity elsewhere; it will be beneficial to you. May God bless them with good sense.”
These recent developments shed light on Munmun and Raj’s private lives, which have been subjected to public scrutiny. Despite attempts to maintain privacy, their relationship status has become a topic of interest, prompting them to address rumors and clarify their stance on social media.
Munmun confronted trolls who intruded on her personal life. In an Instagram post, she expressed her dismay, stating, “After 13 years of entertaining people, it only took 13 minutes for some of you to completely disrespect my dignity. Before criticizing others, consider the impact of your words, especially on those who may be battling depression or contemplating suicide. Reflect on whether your words could push someone to the brink. Today, I feel ashamed to identify as a daughter of India.”
