Taarak Mehta Ka Ootlah Chashmah enjoys a huge fan following with each actor portraying their character with sheer brilliance. One such actor who has impressed the audience with adept skills and comic timing is Tanmay Vekaria aka Bagha.
According to a report in NaiDuniya, Tanmay, who has become a household name by playing the famous character of Bagha in the popular sitcom, earlier worked in a bank as a marketing executive. The actor had faced a fair share of struggles back in the days as he could earn only Rs 4000 to run his errands.
Tanmay hails from Gujarat and for 15 years, he has worked in Gujarati theatre. He drew inspiration from his father who too was a Gujarati actor.
