There's another controversy brewing around Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, and this time it’s all about Tapu and Sonu. For those who don’t know, these two are the main kids in Gokuldham society, and fans always thought they would end up as a couple. But the latest storyline is taking a different direction, which has left many viewers upset. The show's producer, Asit Kumarr Modi, is getting some heat for this unexpected twist in a series that started off as a comedy. So, what’s going on in the show that’s stirring up all this drama...

Tapu and Sonu broke up on TMKOC

TMKOC fans were really hoping to see Tapu and Sonu fall in love and be together someday. But it looks like they still have some growing up to do before that happens. Right now, the show's creators have thrown a curveball by having them split up. Sonu, being the only girl in Tapu Sena, is set to get engaged to someone else, not Tapu. This storyline is getting a lot of criticism for various reasons.

The backlash is real over the reasons behind Tapu-Sonu's split on TMKOC

There's definitely some frustration among fans after seeing Sonu and Tapu's relationship take a hit, but that's not the only reason TMKOC (streaming on SonyLIV via OTTplay Premium) is getting some heat. For one, Tapu and Sonu are still young, and jumping into a wedding storyline feels a bit rushed and unnecessary. Viewers are calling it out as a ploy for attention, with many feeling it's leaning more towards 'family drama' instead of the usual comedy vibe. Plus, single viewers who relate to Popatlal's struggles with being single are scratching their heads over why the focus is on Tapu and Sonu's breakup instead of finding him a partner. And just to add, this week also touched on Tapu's wedding plans, not just Sonu's. The storyline will unfold over the next few days, likely wrapping up by Saturday. While the ending is still up in the air, there are some signs that Tapu and Sonu might find their way back to each other and share some sweet moments.

The wedding of Tapu and Sonu stirred up quite a bit of drama back in the day

Tapu and Sonu's relationship has stirred up quite a bit of drama since the start of TMKOC. The show's creators were inspired by the success of Balika Vadhu, which led them to include a storyline where Tapu and Sonu got married as kids, both under 18. This idea didn’t sit well with many viewers, and Jheel Mehta, who played the female lead at the time, later expressed her discomfort with the scene. She even considered leaving the show when that storyline came up. Although she decided to stick around for a while, she eventually left the series. Over time, many familiar faces from TMKOC have departed, and fans began to question the show's quality as the original cast members continued to exit one by one. This is just one example of the ongoing changes.
