Now that Abdul is back in the company of Gokuldham, the drama is all about him. Abdul is avoiding a pacer, to the extent that he has asked the men of the society to hide out with him in his shop. That is except for Sodhi, who just doesn’t understand how to read the mood in the room no matter what. Here’s what happened in the latest episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (available to stream on SonyLIV and OTTplay Premium)…

Abdul asks the Gokuldham men except Sodhi to hide

While Iyer, Bhide, Taarak Mehta, Dr. Hathi and Popatlal were enjoying their lemonade, Abdul took their glasses and asked them to go into the shop immediately. When he asks them to hide, everyone is confused as to why they have to do that. Abdul even puts the benches back into the shop with the help of the men. Abdul initially locks himself outside too and when he realizes this, he locks himself in the shop with the men.

The tempo driver is the delivery boy Chenu

Just then, the tempo driver from whom he was hiding arrives. Everyone is more curious about what happened that Abdul has to hide from the tempo driver. Abdul says that the man should not know that the shop is open and that they are all hiding inside. This happens after the man reveals that Abdul himself told him two minutes ago that the shop is open. Bhide recognizes the man as Chenu, who delivers groceries to Abdul’s shop.

Chenu refuses to cancel Abdul’s order

Chenu was about to leave when Sodhi came into the shop and noticed that the benches were missing. Instinctively, he searches and then calls Bhide, followed by all the men. Hearing the ringing from inside, he finally opens the shop. They all collectively told Sodhi that they wanted to play a prank on him and hence hid. Abdul actually hid because he had placed the bulk order by mistake. He asked Chenu if the order could be cancelled and since that was impossible, he asked his helper to carry the essentials out of the shop.
