It is not an easy feat to churn out episodes for 18 years and still lead in the sitcom genre on television. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has achieved it and how. The characters are now a part of most Indian living rooms, spreading joy across age groups. The gate of Gokuldham Society opened on July 28, 2008, and the audience got to meet the Gada family, the Sodhis, the Bhides, the Hathi family, the Iyers and of course, the Mehtas, along with Popatlal and Abdul. Each character has its own fanbase, but the harmless banter between scientist Krishnan Iyer and businessman Jethalal Gada over the former’s wife, Babita, is nothing but iconic.
