What are spot Solana ETFs and why are they important?
A spot Solana ETF is an exchange-traded fund that holds Solana (SOL) tokens directly, providing investors real-time exposure to the asset’s market price. Rather than using complex trading platforms or crypto wallets, you can access Solana via a regulated financial product traded on a traditional stock exchange.
The value of Solana ETFs is directly tied to the open market price of SOL, offering a simple way to gain exposure to the blockchain’s performance without directly holding the asset. Unlike futures-based ETFs that use derivative contracts to speculate on Solana’s future prices, a spot ETF tracks the performance of the actual asset.
This distinction is significant because futures products may face pricing inefficiencies, leading to performance mismatches over time. Spot ETFs are more transparent and directly reflect SOL’s real-time supply and demand on the Solana blockchain.
Spot Solana ETFs mark a significant step toward mainstream crypto adoption. These products enable retail and institutional investors to gain exposure to the Solana ecosystem while operating within the bounds of securities regulations.
Like spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, spot Solana exchange-traded funds are expected to expand market access and serve as another entry point to decentralized finance (DeFi) for traditional investors.
Did you know? Spot ETFs aim to mirror an asset’s current price by directly holding the asset, while futures ETFs use derivative contracts to speculate on future price movements.
Launch of spot Solana ETFs on the Toronto Stock Exchange
On April 16, 2025, four spot Solana ETFs started trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, following approval from the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC). With this, Canada became the first country to launch spot SOL ETFs with staking. The OSC granted approval to the spot Solana ETFs of four asset managers: 3iQ, Purpose, Evolve and CI Financial.
Unlike products that only track Solana’s price, these funds hold SOL tokens, giving investors direct ownership of the asset. The funds are secured via institutional-grade cold storage custody. Each fund tracks a distinct Solana-related index, offering diverse strategies with onchain asset backing. Despite their structural differences, these ETFs are all designed for long-term investment, reflecting the issuers’ strong belief in Solana’s future in DeFi.
By incorporating staking, these spot Solana ETFs provide an active way for investors to earn returns in the cryptocurrency market, all within a regulatory framework and secure, institutional-grade custody services.
These ETFs enable staking through a partnership with TD Bank, allowing the SOL they hold to actively support and secure the Solana network. In return, the network issues staking rewards, which can be passed on to investors. Since Solana typically offers higher staking yields than Ethereum, this structure may translate into greater potential returns for investors.
How does staking boost returns for Solana ETF investors?
By offering staking, these spot Solana ETFs may boost returns for investors by an estimated 2%-3.5% annually, in addition to the performance of the underlying SOL.
The ETFs generate yield by working with staking partners that delegate up to 50% of the fund’s assets for staking. Staking rewards generated by the ETF are typically shared between shareholders and the fund manager, with the specific allocation varying depending on the ETF issuer.
Management fees of these spot Solana ETFs vary from 0.15% to 1%, with some providers offering fee waivers during the initial launch phase. After two days of trading, the combined assets under management for the four ETFs total about $73.5 million.
Staking Solana may yield higher returns than staking Ether (ETH). The ETFs intend to pass these additional rewards on to investors, potentially reducing the long-term cost of owning the ETF.
Here is a comparison between the various spot Solana ETFs with staking approved in Canada:
Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest has incorporated staked Solana into its ARKW and ARKF ETFs, with both funds now holding shares of Canada’s 3iQ Solana Staking ETF (SOLQ).
Did you know? Altcoin ETFs track the prices of one or more cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin (BTC). They diversify investor exposure within the cryptocurrency market, as various altcoins exhibit different price behaviors and underlying strengths.
How Canada’s spot Solana ETFs unlock passive income opportunities
Canada offering spot Solana ETFs with staking is an innovative step. Existing SOL investment products, such as the crypto ETFs in Europe and the futures-based ETFs in the US do not offer an opportunity to earn staking yield.
Incorporating yield into a regulated crypto ETF structure addresses a long-standing demand from investors and asset managers interested in proof-of-stake (PoS) networks like Solana and Ethereum.
As staking is central to these tokens’ value, its inclusion enables SOL ETFs to offer a passive income component, making them more appealing to traditional investors seeking income-generating opportunities. The OSC’s approval of the staking feature for spot Solana ETFs may boost SOL’s position. However, staking carries risks, such as potential losses from validator penalties (slashing) or network disruptions, which could affect returns.
Nonetheless, this approval reinforces Canada’s pioneering role in crypto ETF innovation, having launched the world’s first spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2021, ahead of many other jurisdictions. By allowing staking rewards in spot Solana ETFs, Canadian regulators have signalled a growing acceptance of crypto-powered finance.
Did you know? ETFs aren’t without risks. Market fluctuations can lead to losses, and tracking errors can cause an ETF’’s performance to differ from its benchmark index, affecting investor outcome.
What Canada’s launch of Solana ETFs with staking means for pending SEC applications
Canada’s decision provides alternative cryptocurrency investment choices for its investors and may serve as an example for other countries considering spot ETFs for cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin.
Despite a subdued global macroeconomic climate — partly shaped by trade tensions during Donald Trump’s presidency — Canada’s regulators have taken a proactive stance, embracing innovation in the digital asset space. The greenlighting of Solana ETFs with staking reflects a maturing approach to crypto policy and signals confidence in alternative layer-1 networks.
Meanwhile, in the United States, anticipation is building. The launch of Solana futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on March 17, 2025, is seen as a stepping stone toward a US spot ETF. The SEC is currently reviewing 72 crypto-related ETF applications as of April 21, covering a spectrum of assets from major altcoins like XRP (XRP) to memecoins like Dogecoin (DOGE), including proposals for leveraged and derivative products.
As of April 21, 2025, the SEC is reviewing 72 crypto-related ETF applications, including derivatives. The filings range from major cap altcoins to memecoins and include leveraged products and options. The outcome of Canada’s pioneering approach may offer valuable insights to regulators and could potentially influence the SEC’s decisions regarding these filings.
However, the SEC’s stance may differ significantly from Canada’s due to structural and regulatory complexities within the US financial system. Unlike Canada’s more unified regulatory framework, the US divides oversight between multiple agencies — including the SEC, CFTC, and state regulators — creating friction in crypto policymaking.
Canada’s trailblazing move could nonetheless offer a valuable case study for US regulators. As markets await the SEC’s decisions, the key question remains whether Washington will follow Ottawa’s lead — or chart its own course and a slower timeline for non-Bitcoin spot ETFs.

Minnesota knew what was coming after pushing the Lakers around in Game 1 of this series.
“We knew they would come with high intensity, with energy. We knew it was going to be physical,” Julius Randle said.
Knowing the Lakers were going to play with a desperate intensity and dealing well with it are two different things.
“We were stagnant, missed open looks, missed layups,” Randle added.
The Lakers flipped the script in Game 2, going from the team getting pushed around to the aggressors, the more physical team on defense. They played like the team in desperate need of a win (because they were).
The result was the Lakers racing out to a 17-point first-quarter lead — again behind a hot start from Luka Doncic, who had 16 points of his 31 points in the first quarter — and this time holding on for the 94-85 win that evens the series 1-1.
This series shifts to Minnesota on Friday night.
Los Angeles’s energy on defense was evident from the opening tip — the Lakers were pressuring out higher, and they put two on the ball whenever Anthony Edwards got it. It all threw the Timberwolves off their game.
“The way that they’re guarding us, when I catch the ball, they kind of go zone, and when I try to attack a gap, it’s like three people,” Edwards said. “I’ve just got to make my decisions a little quicker, and we’ll be all right.”
Doncic was again the focal point of the offense, they even used him in he post more, but what really changed was just an attention to detail — the Lakers did things like set good screens and made solid contact with the defenders, something they didn’t do in Game 1.
LeBron James had a strong night, finishing with 21 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists. He also had a key play in the fourth, a steal and a bucket, that gave Los Angeles the momentum back when Minnesota had put together a run to get the lead down to single digits.
While Randle (27 points) and Edwards (25) got theirs, the Timberwolves’ bench, which was key in Game 1, was in foul trouble and much quieter in Game 2: Naz Reid had nine points, and Donte DiVincenzo had four.
Minnesota played better in the second half and can walk away from this game feeling positive: They got the split in Los Angeles and will not have another bad offensive half (or night) like they did in Game 2. What matters for Minnesota is that their defense held up, the Lakers still didn’t break 100 (and for all the focus the Lakers had on isolating Rudy Gobert, Doncic was 1-of-4 in those situations).
Both teams have reasons for optimism heading into Friday night and Game 3.
The Timberwolves believe their role players will feel more comfortable and be better at home. That is likely true.
While the Lakers can feel they’ve found their defense, they still have proven playoff winners in Doncic and LeBron, who tend to improve as a playoff series progresses.

BOSTON — In the absence of Connor Wong (broken finger), Carlos Narvaez has become, by default, the Red Sox’ starting catcher.
To date, he hasn’t hit much, with a slash line of .200/..267/.327 with a homer and five. What’s more, he’s struggled to control the running game, with just two baserunners thrown out in 11 attempts.
But when it comes to calling a game and handling a pitching staff, the Red Sox see someone who’s advanced far beyond his experience. He may be 26 already, but coming into this season, he had just six games in the major leagues to his credit.
“Really good, really good,” gushed Alex Cora of the impact Narvaez has made. “He’s always prepared in those (pre-game) meetings with the starters. He gives them feedback as far as their outings. For being a young guy, he really understands what we need behind the plate. We need a leader. We need someone just like Connor, to take pride in leading the staff.
“That’s the most important thing. Whatever you can do offensively we’ll take it. We would love him to hit .300 and hit homers and all that stuff. But the most important thing here is to lead the staff and he’s doing an amazing job.”
Indeed, a number of pitchers on the staff have publicly credited Narvaez with helping them to game-plan opponents and later, to review their outings.
With only a handful of games in the big leagues, Narvaez did a lot of his learning in winter ball, where he gained some invaluable experience.
“He’s played this year in Venezuela for (former major league catcher) Henry Blanco,” said Cora. “Henry is one of those guys that I played with, one of the smartest catchers, the way he sees the game, and I bet that really helped (Narvaez). That winter ball experience is real.
“I know a lot of guys that don’t want to go, they don’t want to go down there. But I think the winning, and the pressure you feel to be successful in those leagues, is important. Just being around those veteran (pitchers), you have guys who are 18 who throw 100 mph and then you have the veteran guy who’s 35, throwing cutters and sinkers at 85 mph. ‘How am I going to maneuver this lineup? How am I going to be able to get 27 outs with what we have.’
“That’s part of the experience and I know that really helped him.”

https://news.yogabicep.com/tesla-holds-onto-bitcoin-as-musk-says-time-at-doge-to-drop-significantly/#respondWed, 23 Apr 2025 07:37:43 +0000https://news.yogabicep.com/tesla-holds-onto-bitcoin-as-musk-says-time-at-doge-to-drop-significantly/
Tesla has held onto its Bitcoin during the first quarter of 2025 as CEO Elon Musk promised shareholders that he would scale back his time working as the Trump administration’s cost-cutting czar.
Musk’s comment appears to have been the main catalyst behind Tesla’s (TSLA) 5.4% price jump in after-hours trading on April 22 to $250.80 after closing the trading day up 4.6%, according to Google Finance.
It comes as the automaker’s Q1 results released the same day show revenues hit $19.34 billion, missing Wall Street estimates by 7.85% and marking a 9.2% fall from the same period last year.
Tesla’s net income of $409 million also marked an 80.8% quarter-on-quarter drop and a 70.5% fall from Q1 2024.

Tesla’s digital asset holdings dropped 11.61% in value from $1.076 billion to $951 million in Q1, alongside Bitcoin’s (BTC) 11.56% price fall to $82,514 over the same time, according to CoinGecko data.
A new rule from the Financial Accounting Standards Board allows public companies to report their crypto holdings at market value. Before, only losses were recorded — unless the crypto was sold.
Tesla’s 11,509 Bitcoin stash is now worth over $1.07 billion as a result of the market rebound over the last week, according to Bitcoin Treasuries data. Tesla’s Bitcoin holdings haven’t changed since June 30, 2022.
Musk to ease up on DOGE duties
In an April 22 earnings call, Musk promised that he would scale back his time working at the Trump administration’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to focus more on Tesla.
“Starting probably next month, May, my time allocation to DOGE will drop significantly,” Musk said.
“I’ll be allocating far more of my time to Tesla now that the major work of establishing the Department of Government Efficiency is done.”
Musk said he’ll continue to spend “a day or two per week” on DOGE-related matters for as long as US President Donald Trump needs to ensure the “waste and fraud that we stop does not come roaring back.”

Tesla’s 5.4% rise in after-hours came on the back of a 4.6% increase to nearly $237 during the April 22 trading day as the broader market clawed back some losses from earlier in the week.
Tesla shares are still down over 37% year-to-date, driven partially by declining sales, Musk’s increased political presence and economic uncertainty stemming from Trump’s tariffs.

“Arne Slot is going to win the Premier League in his first season after taking over from Jürgen Klopp,” writes Hannah Mitchell. “What examples are there of managers who have had instant success after succeeding a legendary manager?”
It’s not unusual for a new Liverpool manager to win the league in their first season. Matt McQueen (1922-23), Joe Fagan (1983-84) and Kenny Dalglish (1985-86) all did so, – but they were established figures at the club, whether in the boardroom, the boot room or the dressing-room. Arne Slot was new to English football, never mind Liverpool, and was succeeding one of the most charismatic figures in the club’s history. In that context, winning the Premier League with (potentially) four or five games remaining is a remarkable achievement.

Slot is not the only newcomer who looks set to win an English top-flight title. In the Women’s Super League, Chelsea have adjusted seamlessly to life under Sonia Bompastor, who succeeded Emma Hayes in the summer, and may well do the domestic treble. The 4-1 defeat in Barcelona makes it unlikely Chelsea will win the lot this season, but that has happened in the past.
“Managers don’t come much more legendary than Rinus Michels, who guided Ajax to four national titles, three domestic cups, and a European Cup triumph, all the while revolutionising the game with his team’s Total Football,” writes Kári Tulinius. “Ștefan Kovács therefore had big boots to fill, and did so by winning the Eredivisie, KNVB Cup and European Cup in his inaugural season, adding the European Supercup and Intercontinental Cup to his tally the following winter, and then defending the European Cup and national titles. Follow-up acts don’t come much more impressive than that.”
Ajax won five and drew four of their first nine games under Kovacs. Then they really hit form: for the rest of the 1971-72 season their record in all competitions was P39 W37 D1 L1.
Frank Rijkaard might not qualify as a legendary Barcelona manager – but he did win the Champions League and two La Liga titles so Pep Guardiola had plenty to live up to when he took over in 2008. In his first season, Barcelona became the first Spanish side to do the Treble, all the while playing football from the distant future.

Another newcomer almost achieved the same feat 51 years earlier. “After the legendary José Villalonga left Real Madrid in 1957, Luis Carniglia was appointed,” writes Ben Janeson. “He took Real Madrid the closest they’ve ever come to a European treble, winning the European Cup and La Liga and being runners-up in the Copa del Generalísimo.”
Aston Villa’s European Cup triumph of 1982 came less than four months after Tony Barton had replaced Ron Saunders, who left the club in February after a disagreement with the board. Joe Shaw won the league title with Arsenal after taking over in January 1934 when the great Herbert Chapman died suddenly. And when Fabio Capello replaced Arrigo Sacchi in 1991, Milan won Serie A without losing a game.
Putting parenting first
“It’s fairly common nowadays for a footballer to miss a match because their partner is in labour, but I’m guessing this is a newish development in the game. Who was the first professional player to miss a match in order to be present at the birth of their child? And how long did it take for this to become common?” asks Magda.

The first person who comes to mind is QPR’s Martin Allen in March 1989. He flew home before an away game at Newcastle after learning his wife had gone into labour, and made it in time to see the birth of his son, George. Allen was fined two weeks’ wages by QPR player-manager Trevor Francis. It become a huge story and was even discussed in parliament. In time Francis regretted his actions, but his relationship with Allen never recovered. Allen moved to West Ham in the summer.
Would a title playoff in Italy be a first?
“The Serie A title could be decided by a playoff, with Inter and Napoli level on points with five games to go. Has this ever happened before?” wonders Tom Mortimer.
There has only been one playoff to decide the Scudetto. In 1963-64, Bologna and the defending champions, Inter, finished with 54 points (two for a win in those days) from 34 games. Bologna had a superior goal difference but that wasn’t used as a tiebreaker. Instead the two teams met in a one-off game in Rome on 7 June, a week after the end of the regular season.

Inter, who won their first European Cup at the end of May, were in blistering form and had won at Bologna at the end of March. At that stage it looked like they would win the title with ease – Bologna had been deducted three points when five of their players failed a drug test after a game against Torino. Bologna appealed successfully on the grounds the urine samples were not handled properly and got the points back, which meant they finished level with Inter.
Then, in the week of the title playoff, Bologna’s president, Renato Dall’Arra, died suddenly during a federation meeting. But Bologna won their seventh title thanks to two goals in the last 15 minutes: the great Giacinto Facchetti deflected Romano Fogli’s free-kick into his own net before Harald Nielsen, the league’s top scorer, finished expertly to make it 2-0.
Corrections corner
In last week’s Knowledge we looked at the first player to have a red card rescinded. “The red card system was introduced into the English game in 1976,” writes Terry Woods, “so your article on the first English player to have one rescinded in 1969 is not valid.”

We should have said that Northampton Town’s Frank Large was the first player we could find who had his suspension quashed after being sent off in an association football contest. But we didn’t, and now we’ve been shown a red card.

“Giorgos Giakoumakis has finished as the Eredivisie’s top scorer (by some margin) yet his team, VVV-Venlo, have been relegated,” wrote Willem Cleven in 2021. “Has any Golden Boot winner suffered such an ignominious fate before?”
They certainly had. “Southampton’s Mick Channon managed that feat,” wrote Andy Grace. “The famous windmill celebration was seen 21 times in 1973-74 and he topped the Division One scoring charts, despite the club getting relegated that same season.”
Advertisement
Dirk Maas pointed out that just a couple of years later, in the 1975-76 La Liga season, Enrique Castro González (better known as ‘Quini’) suffered the same fate at Sporting Gijón. He stuck around to fire them straight back up to La Liga the next season, though, when they even qualified for the Uefa Cup. Dirk also found that Thomas Dalgaard went down with Viborg FF in the 2013-14 Danish Super Liga while scoring 18 goals in 33 games.
It’s happened in Italy, too. “Igor Protti was the only Serie A player to have suffered this fate,” offered Jörg Michner. “In 1995-96 he scored 24 goals and became capocannoniere alongside Lazio legend Giuseppe Signori, but his Bari side got relegated anyway.”

Bitcoin’s 12% rally over the week and a surge in related exchange-traded fund inflows have analysts thinking it could soon reach $100,000, but one crypto analyst has said to temper hopes as a key indicator is still giving mixed signals.
“Given that our stablecoin minting indicator has yet to return to high-activity levels, we remain cautious about the sustainability of the current Bitcoin rally,” 10x Research head of research Markus Thielen said in an April 23 markets report.
Stablecoin absence may limit Bitcoin upside
Thielen explained that a measured move from the falling wedge pattern, which traders perceive as a potential bullish reversal signal, shows that Bitcoin (BTC) may reclaim $99,000.
He added, however, that “the absence of strong stablecoin inflows raises questions about follow-through.”

Bitcoin was trading at $93,133 at the time of writing, up 11.42% over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap.
Thielen told Cointelegraph that stablecoin inflows “tend to correlate strongly with stickier money, while an increase in futures leverage could simply mean that fast traders are taking advantage of a quick move higher.”
Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows surge, a true “demand-led rally”
It comes as spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US posted inflows of $912.7 million on April 22, the highest level since Jan. 17, according to Farside data.
Swyftx lead analyst Pav Hundal told Cointelegraph that the inflows suggest “this is a true, demand-led rally. Not just a hot flash of excited futures traders moving price.”
“If the news headlines finally quieten, we could break new highs sooner than everyone thinks. A fast track to $100,000 looks plausible, but things change quickly in a Trump presidency.”
Thielen said if uncertainty continues to decline, “a further acceleration could provide the liquidity needed to support a more sustained rally.”

The crypto market has experienced volatility and broader financial markets since US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs in early February.
However, Trump’s recent comments have traders speculating that he’s softening his stance on the trade war, with some seeing this as bullish for markets.
Thielen said the $95,000 price level is a key resistance level for Bitcoin and a “potential trigger point for short-stop liquidations.”
He said it could push Bitcoin’s price higher if market strength continues.

Do the Thunder have what it takes to reach the Finals?
Oklahoma City has the pieces—but do they have the experience to win three playoff series?
Game 2 of the Los Angeles Lakers-Minnesota Timberwolves NBA playoff series was not a referendum on Lakers coach JJ Redick.
A loss would not have been any indicator of Redick’s future success as an NBA coach.
But another home loss and a 2-0 series deficit with Games 3 and 4 in Minneapolis would have ratcheted the pressure on the first-time NBA coach.
That’s the way the playoffs work. Redick knows that, and he avoided that scenario as the Lakers won Game 2, 94-85, and evened the best-of-seven series at 1-1.
After almost every playoff game, it’s on the losing coach/team to make adjustments for the next game based on what happened in the previous game.
Former NBA coach and TNT analyst Stan Van Gundy often said the biggest game-to-game playoff adjustment was “play harder.” Set forceful screens. Sprint to your spot. Hustle back on defense.
Even pros lose focus. You can talk scheme – and that is important – but sometimes playing with a greater purpose for more possessions is the answer.
The Lakers did that in Game 2.
“We were physical,” Redick said. “The playoffs require a different level, and like I said pregame, it took us 2½ quarters in Game 1 to get to that level of physicality.”
It wasn’t the prettiest performance. The Lakers didn’t reach 100 points for the second consecutive game, but they held the Timberwolves to a season-low in points, and after Minnesota torched the Lakers for 21 3s (a franchise playoff-record) in Game 1, it made just five 3s in Game 2.
As much as the NBA is considered a players’ league, coaches matter. (It helps Redick that two of his assistant coaches are longtime former NBA head coaches in Scott Brook and Nate McMillan). Coaches need to show players where they can be more physical and where greater effort is necessary. They need to study video with their staff, and counter what worked for the opponent.
Of course Redick made adjustments. Before Game 2, he said, “Not giving away our adjustments. Got to play harder.”
As Game 2 unfolded, Redick had more actions for LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, trying to create mismatches and better scoring opportunities. Even though James and Doncic scored more combined points in Game 1 (56) than they did in Game 2 (52), they were better offensively.
They had just four assists between them in Game 1, including just one from Doncic. They matched that total in the first quarter of Game 2 and finished with a combined 16 assists. Doncic was one assist from a triple-double, and his passing was superb especially in the paint. Reaves scored 16 points – same as Game 1 – but he was more active and missed a few shots that he normally makes.
Redick loves the strategic part of the game. You can tell that by listening to him – whether it was on his podcast or in interviews this season as Lakers coach.
Now, it’s Timberwolves coach Chris Finch’s turn to tinker. He just doesn’t have those same Hollywood lights shining on him.

Television actor Lalit Manchanda, known for his roles in popular shows such as Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, India’s Most Wanted, Crime Patrol, Maryada, Jhansi Ki Rani, and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, has tragically died by suicide in Meerut. Reports indicate that he took this drastic step due to severe financial difficulties.

According to a report by Amar Ujala, Lalit Manchanda had been living in Mumbai for the past 12 years, taking up small roles in various television shows to make a living. However, facing financial hardship, he returned to Meerut about six months ago to stay with his brother at his home in Prahlad Nagar, located in the Lisadi Gate area. Lalit was accompanied by his wife, Taru Manchanda, and their two children — 18-year-old son Ujjwal and daughter Shreya.
On Sunday night, Lalit Manchanda chose to sleep in a separate room. The next morning, when his family went to wake him up for tea, they discovered his body. They immediately informed the police, who arrived at the scene and have since launched an investigation into the incident. Lalit’s body was sent for a postmortem and was later handed over to the family. He was cremated on Monday evening.
Back in 2020, Abhishek Makwana, one of the writers of the popular sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, was found dead at his residence in Mumbai. A suicide note was recovered from the scene, in which Abhishek cited financial difficulties as the reason for taking his own life, according to Mumbai Mirror. His brother, Jenis, later revealed, “I checked my brother’s mail because ever since he passed away, I got multiple phone calls from different numbers demanding repayment of loans he supposedly owed. One of the calls came from a number registered in Bangladesh, another from Myanmar, and the rest from various states across India.”
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of India’s longest-running sitcoms, having first aired in 2008.
