Dilip Joshi on drastically losing 16 kgs weight in one and a half months
In a conversation with Mashable India, for a 1992 movie, Dilip Joshi talked openly about reducing 16 kg in just over a month. He revealed that in order to play the scientist “Hunshilal” in the sociopolitical feature film Hun Hunshi Hunshilal, which offered him the part, he had to shed some weight. Renuka Shahane, Manoj Joshi, and Mohan Gokhale were among the other actors in the movie. Dilip worked out hard and shed weight in preparation for shooting the movie
In the same conversation, Dilip claimed that he adhered to a demanding schedule for 1.5 months. Additionally, he would run in the rain for hours across the entirety of Marine Drive. He would then jog the entire way home, which really assisted him in losing 16 kg. But he also said that he formerly looked forward to his jogs. Dilip uncovered: “I used to go to work, change at the swimming club and run across the whole Marine Drive, until (Hotel) Oberoi in the rain, and go back. I would jog the whole way and it used to take me 45 minutes. I lost 16 kgs in one and a half months. It used to be so much fun. The sun was setting and there would be a slight drizzle. The clouds used to look so beautiful.”
The Nita Mukesh Ambani Culture Centre’s grand opening was celebrated by the Ambani family on March 31, 2023. Dilip Joshi and his wife Jaymala Joshi both attended the ceremony. However, as soon as he arrived at the event, the photographers referred to him as “Jetha Bhai” rather than by his given name. The moment’s video quickly became popular on social media.

When Dilip Joshi rejected the offer of playing ‘Jethalal’
‘Jethalal Champaklal Gada,’ played by Dilip Joshi, is undoubtedly the heart and soul of TMKOC. Dilip is one of the highest-paid actors on the show for this role; according to numerous estimates, he makes about Rs. 1.5 lakh per episode. He offered to play “Jethalal” or “Champaklal Jayantilal Gada” when he agreed. Dilip first declined the job offer from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah because he was too busy working on the show, which he was given after a year of being jobless.
But after a few months, the programme Dilip was working on was cancelled, and the actor approached TMKOC producer Asit Kumarr Modi to express his desire to try out for the part of “Jethalal.” The show’s creators concurred.
