In the upcoming episode of
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah
, Taarak Mehta gets trapped in a game of lies with his ever-vigilant boss. Taraak takes a day's leave from work to oblige his 'param mitra' (best friend)
Jethalal
.
His boss smells something fishy. He keeps calling Taark and asks him to hand over the phone to his
wife Anjali
. He takes a day's leave in the pretext of his wife being unwell.
Constant calls by Taarak's boss makes matters worse for the duo, Taarak and Jethalal. While Taraak avoids his boss' call, Jethalal mimics a sick Anjali and coughs loudly and sneezes in between the conversation.
The story behind Taarak Mehta taking a leave from work actually is Jethaa Lal.
Sundar Lal
arrived in Mumbai and asked
Jethaa Lal
to meet him outside.
Sundar Lal has made Jethalal extremely uneasy about what he might tell him in person. Therefore, Jethalal wanted Taarak to accompany him. He pleads with Taarak Mehta, who has an important meeting on the day, to override the meeting and instead go with him for moral support.
Taarak Mehta, after much protest about being unable to ditch work, eventually gives in. He texts his boss asking to be excused from work for the day on account of Anjali’s ill health. This leads to a comical cat and mouse game of the boss getting suspicious and trying to find out if his employee is merely making an excuse to skip work.
