Recently, it was reported that Ghanshyam Nayak, who plays the role of Nattu Kaka in the popular sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah was unwell. The senior actor was having severe uneasiness in the glands of his neck and had undergone surgery for the same. After a successful recovery, the actor resumed shooting for the serial last month.
However, the veteran star faced the ire on social media with several netizens trolling him for looking weak, commenting that he was trying to hide his illness. The actor has now bashed the trollers, criticising them for being insensitive. Talking to The Times of India, Nayak said, "Some people are insensitive towards senior actors. I want to urge people not to spread such negativity. If I was not looking the part, my producer would not have cast me. I read somewhere that people also commented on my dressing sense. Those who don’t have any work spread such negativity. I am not affected by it, because I am happy that even at my age, I am working and would like to continue going to the sets as long as my body permits."
