New Delhi: It was a terrible moment when TV show ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma’ lost it’s important cast member Kavi Kumar Azad aka Dr. Hathi  a month back due to heart attack. But as they say show much go, so makers had to find the replacement of Dr. Hathi. Also few weeks back we told you that makers were not able to find the replacement of the actor. It was being said that he was all the time so good at his job, the character had almost got into him even in his daily life. It has just not been possible to get someone even remotely close as him until now. Latest we hear is that makers have finalised actor who will play the role of Dr. Hathi in the show. TV actor Nirmal Soni will be back in the show as Dr. Hathi. As per news in an entertainment portal, “Nirmal Soni, who earlier played the role of Dr Hathi for a year will once again return to the show to reprise the role. His comeback will be shot in a grand manner amidst Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations with a lot of pomp and fanfare. The track will air next week most probably on September 13.” Nirmal Soni didn’t leave the show on a good note so makers were sceptical if he will say yes or but all things fell into right place this time. Although talking to TOI, Producer Modi said, “Nothing is finalized yet. We have finalized three people and we are shooting with them. We will soon lock the one who will play Dr. Hathi.” On a related note, Kavi Kumar Azaad aka Dr Haathi of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma passed away on July 9.
