THIS is what Jethalal has to say on TMKOC completing 10 years!

We still can’t believe that it has been 10 years since the first episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma had begun airing on television. The TV show, which is based on journalist Taarak Mehta’s column that he wrote for a Gujarati magazine, titled Duniya Ne Oondha Chashma, has become a favourite amongst kids and families. And, since it is a favourite of many primetime viewers, the show in question has managed to complete a staggering total of 2500 episodes and is still going pretty strong.

Additionally, a fun fact: The show has made a place for itself in the Limca Book Of World Records since it is the longest-running sitcom.

On the occasion of the show completing a decade, a leading daily got chit-chatty with our very own “Tapu-Sena”, who spoke about what the gang really indulges into in between shots.

In response to the show achieving this terrific milestone, Dilip Joshi, who essays the character of Jethalal Gada in the hugely successful show, was quoted by a leading daily saying, “I knew the concept was good because Taarak Mehta was a legendary writer, whose works I have been reading since childhood. Producer Asit Bhai (Modi) offered me the role and I loved it but the show lasting for 10 years is a miracle. I would often feel that I was repeating myself, but we have been safe since its a comedy. And because of that, fans want it to go on.”

Here’s wishing the team of Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chasmah all the very best for the road ahead and here’s wishing that its adorable characters keep entertaining us in the way that they have been so far.
