TV show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah recently made headlines and was accused by the Sikh community for allegedly depicting a living character of tenth Sikh Guru Gobind Singh, which was "against the Sikh tenets". 

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) demanded a ban on the show for hurting the sentiments of the community by portraying 'blasphemous acts'.

The makers of the show came out to speak about the issue and clarify the fact that they had no intention to hurt anybody's religious sentiments.

A leading news agency got in touch with the producer of the show, Asit Kumarr Modi. He clarifies the misunderstanding and said "Roshan Singh Sodhi was shown as Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Ka Khalsa, which has been justified through the dialogues & his performance. We have always believed in equality of all the religions & have never intended to hurt the sentiments of anyone. Our show consists of people from varied religions and cultures who worship each God and celebrate each and every festival with equal respect & happiness. We are aware & respect that in Sikh religion nobody can show or portray themselves as Guru Gobind Singh Ji. We request our viewers not to misinterpret it any other context." 

Well, we really hope the show is out of the controversy soon and can manage to put its point without offending anyone and everyone.
