Shailesh Lodha’s daughter’s wedding: Vicky Kaushal welcomes baraatis; fans ask why Dilip Joshi, TMKOC team were missing
Taarak Mehta fame actor Shailesh Lodha’s daughter, Swara Lodha, got married at the iconic Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur. While the ceremony was attended by several prominent names from Bollywood, politics, and the comedy industry, one detail caught the attention of fans.
It was Vicky Kaushal whose presence lit up the wedding. In viral videos, Vicky is seen arriving at the venue dressed in a white sherwani jacket paired with black trousers. Shailesh warmly welcomed the actor before introducing him to the guests.
Shailesh Lodha, popularly known as Taarak Mehta of TMKOC, worked on the show from 2008 to 2022. He later left the show after a dispute with Asit Modi.

Vicky was also seen welcoming the baraatis and dancing at the celebrations.
Despite Shailesh being one of the most popular faces of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, none of his former co-stars from the sitcom were spotted at the wedding. Dilip Joshi (Jethalal), Munmun Dutta (Babita Ji), Sonalika Joshi (Madhavi), Amit Bhatt (Champaklal ‘Bapuji’), Mandar Chandwadkar (Bhide), along with other cast members and the show’s makers, were noticeably absent from the celebrations. Their absence left many fans wondering if it had anything to do with Shailesh’s much-publicised fallout with producer Asit Kumarr Modi.
Upon seeing the lavish wedding, fans said, ‘Didn’t know Taarak Mehta is that rich’
Reacting to the same, a user wrote on X, “People noticed that almost none of the TMKOC actors were present at the wedding. Even Dilip Joshi (Jethalal), who is considered close to him, was not seen. If the dispute was only with Asit Modi, then why didn’t the rest of the actors attend the wedding?”
Shailesh Lodha and Vicky Kaushal share a close bond.
Recently, the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor shared a picture with Vicky on Instagram and penned a heartfelt note for him.
He wrote in Hindi, “Immense popularity, unparalleled success, and fame spreading in every direction—Vicky Kaushal achieved it all through sheer, tireless hard work. Yet, his humility has only grown, and he remains as grounded as he was on day one. This is precisely what sets him apart from the rest. Sending lots of love, @vickykaushal09.”
