The show is based on Duniye Ne Undha Chasma, written by veteran Gujarati writer Taarak Mehta. Asit Kumarr Modi adapted it into a TV series, and the first episode of TMKOC aired on 28 July 2008. Since then, the show has continued to entertain the audience, and over the years, it has attained unprecedented popularity not just in India but also overseas.

Yesterday, TMKOC completed 16 years, and on this special occasion, Dilip Joshi, who plays Jethalal in the show, went live on Instagram. Sharing his feelings, Dilip said, “I wanted to meet you all today. Exactly 16 years ago, in 2008, our first episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah was aired. I still remember that day when Asit Bhai called me to his office for Jethalal’s role. And after that conversation, we began shooting, and today, we have completed 16 years. I cannot believe that even today, we are receiving the same amount of love for the show.”
