However, Bhakti also revealed that Gurucharan has secured a branded deal, which will pay him Rs 13 lakh. For the same, the actor will soon travel to Mumbai for a shoot. This deal, the friend shared, will help Singh in repaying his debts.
“I have got Gurucharan Singh a brand deal of ₹13 lakh, which has been given to him. After that, he agreed to break his fast. He will be coming to Mumbai by the end of the month to shoot for the same," she shared.
This comes days after Bhakti Soni also revealed that Gurucharan Singh needs to repay a loan of Rs 1.5 crore. She also claimed that nobody, including Singh’s family, was helping him during this difficult time.
“He had a debt of about Rs 1.2 crore. However, his father owns a property worth ₹55 crore. Unfortunately, there is an ongoing dispute as the tenants are not vacating the property. If the matter gets resolved and the property is sold, he should be able to clear his loan," Bhakti told ETimes.
Gurcharan Singh played the role of Roshan Singh Sodhi — a fun-loving man who is always in party mode and never shies away from expressing love for his wife. He was one of the popular characters on the show, and also a founding cast member. Gurcharan, however, left the show in 2012 only to return next year due to public demand. After his exit in 2020, he was replaced by actor Balwinder Singh Suri.
