Negative Reviews:
  • First of all, the comedy content is somewhere lost in the show.. And all credit goes to madam Daya ( daya Karo ab Tum) and Tapu Sena.. Don't know why Asit Modi is so relying on silly Daya when there are so many talented characters in the show such as Bhide, Sodhi Baha'i, Iyer, popatlal and of course jetha with Babuji.. There has been a huge transformation in the show, earlier the content used to be a hilarious ride along with a social message.. And every story was linked to the other one.. However now they keep on annoying us with Daya and her irritating voice with weird faces.. I hate her.. They should stop dragging the show in order to make record of episodes and should start writing some good comedy episodes.. Even the direction has gone poor.. Earlier it used to be a stress buster but now the show has started giving us stress and irritation.. Please do something about it otherwise please wind up the show.. Humble request..
  • Seriously, I used to be a genuine viewer of the show but now it is really getting worse to worst. The show was one of the best mood lifting series on television.and now the writers of the show have not left with any of the ideas regarding the story line. They are repeatedly showing us meaning episodes that is of without any story. I think the producer should do introspection regarding the serial or else should stop making the count of episodes. Which are completely going meaningless. Please give some story or leave the time slot so that some other show can take the place. We have tolerated a lot of meaningless episodes now, without the interesting story.
  • TMKOC writers really need to be changed as soon as possible or the show is going to lose its popularity very soon which is already on a downfall. The show doesn't have any content and any viewer can easily tell they are just extending a story unnecessarily. Aaisa hi chalta raha then 2020 se pehle bandh ho jayega show..!!
  • Loved tmkoc till 2015 or 2016 mid. They have started slacking on content and are showing atleast 5 episodes on one topic. Getting trp and making money is always important but not when you start losing viewership. Lost atleast 4 viewers with me.
  • I don't like *Overacting* done by daya. She do lot of overacting & this makes the entire episode boring & senseless. Moreover, in present the comedy is totally zero. Asit modi & entire crew is stretching the episode for eg. Sakharam Ka Accident By tapu sena. This episode was completed in 1 week. Seriously, tere was no such comedy. It seems Asit Modi nowadays is focusing on increasing the number of episodes instead of providing entertainment & humor to audience through this Serial. Daya didn't know acting & in what she does in OVERACTING......I don't like this serial much more....Moreover, Iyer babita & Tarak mehta & anjali don't have any children even Tapu Sena joined college...Senseless Serial
Positive Reviews:
  • Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmah is an excellent show...A complete entertainer. All the characters starting from Jethalal to part time actors like inspector Pandey are simply superb. I love to watch the show again and again everyday. I make it a point not to miss a single episode of the serial. waiting anxiously for the program to complete 1000 episodes. Alongwith complete laugh riot, the serial presents lots of useful social messages...Every character plays their role to perfection. Jethalal is superb, and Daya Bhabhi is excellent. Mehta saheb, anjali bhabhi, Bhide, Mrs Bhide, Mrs and Mr Hathi, Mrs and Mr Roshan, Rita, Iyer, Babita, Popatlal, Abdul, Sunder, Natu Kaka, Bagha, Tapu Sena...all are just fabulous.
  • I don't understand Hindi much, but this serial WAS amazing. Story, Action and everything WAS amazing (till 2013/or 2014). I did not see this kind of clean comedy anywhere. English Sitcoms are also amazing, but they are mostly based on Adult content.Since one year, the quality has been degrading, very much.
  • If they don't improve it, the viewer-ship will RAPIDLY be going down. And coming to Male or Female domination, we should think this is just for fun. There are Female dominated/oriented families (Ayyar and Babitha, Madhavi and Bhide), so we can not point out this. Overall, this was amazing and hilarious serial. But now, everything is very very boring. Direction, Story, Action, Settings, and even the camera as well.
  • Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmah is an excellent show. I really love this show. The show is based on the happenings of a society named Gokuldham. I love to watch the show again and again everyday. Every character plays their role to perfection. Jethalal is superb, and Daya Bhabhi is excellent. Mr. Mehta , Anjali Bhabhi, Mr.and Mrs. Bhide, Mr. and Mrs. Hathi, Mr and Mrs Roshan, Rita, Iyer, Babita, Popatlal, Abdul, Sunder, Natu Kaka, Bagha, Tapu Sena...all are just fabulous. The society members are from different Indian cultures & communities and still they live together in peace and harmony. They celebrate festivals with each other. This show is Fantastic.
  • Dear Tarek Mehta respected team, I love to watch your serial I without miss single episode n wanna Tel as request only this that please maintain your serial standard which consider one of best. Sometimes it's more to b torched instead of comedy. After finish every episode, Mehta sahib come n say always laugh can I know how to laugh sir without real comedy. Respected friends this serial famous because entire family can see but some time n can say now every time getting feeling of dragging episodes.
  • The best show ever on Indian Television. It is a perfect blend of comedy, feelings, friendship, love , innocence. Every series teaches some good lessons.
  • Gokuldham is an ideal society. Everyone in India wants to live in such a society. The characters like Jethalal , Daya , Bapuji, Bhide etc are very inspiring. Specially Jetha Lal , he faces so many challenges frequently but always smiles and face every tough situation. Daya ben shows an ideal character of a wife, mother, daughter in law, sister and a neighbour. I personally have learned many lessons from this show like how to react in the tough conditions, how to work in a team etc. 10 on 10 for this show keep it up....

He asked for forgiveness and eventually, the makers forgave him. And he was retained back in the show. Shyam without informing the production house went to London with Dilip Joshi aka Jehtala for an event. Eventually, it disturbed the shoot. His absence and unprofessional behavior got the makers extremely angry.

Palak Sidhwani Opens up on Replacing Nidhi Bhanushali as Sonu in Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah!

Actress Palak Sidhwani who is currently seen essaying the role of Sonu in Sab TV's popular show Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah opens up on replacing Nidhi Bhanushali.



Sab TV popular show Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah has captivated the audience's heart with it's rib tickling jokes, social messages and a great range of content. The show has enthralled the audience over the years. In a conversation with a leading portal, Actress Palak Sidhwani who is currently seen essaying the role of Sonu in Sab TV's popular show Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah opens up on replacing Nidhi Bhanushali.

Palak was asked if she felt that replacing a character was a disadvantage, to this she told , "I wouldn’t say it is a complete disadvantage but yes to some extent it is. Audience’s expectation increases as the previous actor sets a bar and there’s a constant pressure of performing well and living up to the expectation. As far as Sonu’s character is concerned, Nidhi Bhanushali played the character for around seven months and has become the face of Sonu and suddenly a new person in the same shoes would of course not get instant acceptance from the audience."

She also added that there is always a comparison drawn between both the actors and some may like Nidhi better, and a few would like her work. She mentioned that the audience has the right to give feedback as they are investing so much of their time and emotions on the show and they have the right to keep expectations from their favorite characters. "I’m trying my level best each day to meet to their expectations and I feel to some extent, I have been successful in doing the same," she added.

Default Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah To Have 3000 Episodes Special Celebration!

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah to have a grand 3000 episodes’ celebration; Raj Anadkat aka Tapu shares details



Having a flat in Gokuldham society has been the dream of every common man.

The show is undoubtedly the most loved comedy show and has been running since 2008. It has not lost its charm yet and keeps on impressing us with some amazing storylines. Every character from the show has been our favourite and each one has a different fan base. Tapu has been the most loved amongst youngsters.

The role was earlier played by Bhavya Gandhi who was later replaced by Raj Anadkat. Bhavya Gandhi was loved in that role but Raj Anadkat left no stone unturned to make us accept him as Tapu now. His brilliant performance has been appreciated and he too enjoys a huge fan following now.
The actor recently got into a conversation and spoke about his favourite scene from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and also spilt beans on the upcoming 3000 episode celebrations.

Yes, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah will soon complete 3000 episodes. It will be the second Hindi GEC after Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai to complete 3000 episodes.

Raj Anadkat aka Tapu was asked if they will have some grand celebrations, and he said, "Yes, there will be some grand celebrations. When we had completed 2900 episodes, we did have some good celebrations. When we had our press conference, even Asit Modi sir had said kuch grand hone wala hai, dhamakedar hone wala hai. So, yes fans can expect that. And I am hoping that we will give our best after the lockdown and give the audience the same entertainment package we used to give earlier."

Raj Anadkat was also asked about his most favourite scene from the show.

He shared, "Obviously, I loved my entry scene because when we were shooting that scene that time a lot of equipment, props, trolley shots, fireworks and bahut kuch hua tha. And everyone was saying that aisa entry ab tak kisika nai hua hai in the show. It was dhamakedar and it was beautifully played by the directors with those lightings and trolley shots. There were fireworks and all so that was the best one. I also loved the story we did on labourers. So, that was one story that I still remember well. I remember that we were shooting in the hot sun and it was difficult working using those spades and all. That time we got to know the real pain and how these labourers who work in that hot sun for us. It must be so difficult for them to do so. We felt that these people do deserve the respect and we must all respect them for working tirelessly in that heat."

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah – A Ray Of Happiness & Positivity Even During Lockdown

Even in such difficult times, the one thing that has remained constant is Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s ability to bring smiles to people’s faces by spreading positive vibes.



The nation-wide lockdown caused due to the global pandemic COVID-19 has not only led to economic and unemployment crises but has also affected people mentally.

During such times when people are building their physical immunity to build resistance against the Coronavirus, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has acted as medicine for bolstering mental immunity.

In a situation, constantly surrounded by negative and disturbing news has created a state of panic and tension. Additionally, an unstable economy and job losses have led to drastic changes in lifestyles. Even in such times, the one thing that has remained constant is Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s ability to bring smiles to people’s faces by spreading positive vibes. Across the globe, consumption of this light-hearted, comedy show by the entire family has aided in as a solution to worries and problems by acting as a medicine to their mental health.

The re-run and consumption of over 2900 episodes across digital and social media platforms over the last three months, has helped the audiences overlook their pain, sorrows and stress and look at the brighter sides of life.

For now, the makers of the show confirm that the resumption of shooting for new episodes is a WIP. The dates will be officially announced soon as there is consensus from all quarters including the channel, various Associations, and the industry as a whole.

“We are as eager as the fans of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah are to see it back on air. It has been an overwhelming three months of so many fans continually asking us about when they can expect to watch the new episodes of the show. Many others have also showered love after watching the re-runs of the old episodes whether on TV or online, and for helping build some mental immunity even during the lockdown. I'm in constant touch with my team of writers and creative team to create unique piece of stories for our audiences. We will soon be back in action along with more humour and positive vibes,” says Mr Asit Kumarr Modi, Creator of the show.

The show has also narrowed down a few new story ideas and scripts to give its audiences a fresh perspective and to divert the mind from the on-going pandemic hysteria.

The team has spent hours on creative discussion, trying to analyse and think of ways to develop new stories over last three months. The new episodes will continue in the theme of Gokuldham Society’s unity and will represent the sentiment of the country’s people, although peppered with positivity and lots of fun. Regarding fresh episodes, the creative team is taking extra care of humour and are also going to change a bit of style of visualising and the making of the show.

“Without a doubt, we are excited to go back to work! Over the last three months I had the opportunity to take a walk down the memory lane by watching the re-runs of the show and it made me so nostalgic. Not only have I missed being away from the fans but also I have missed my Gokuldham family tremendously. There is a little apprehension in all our minds but we have confidence in our production team’s efforts in ensuring our safety at work. We are eagerly waiting for the green signal and very soon we will be back to entertaining our viewers who have been so excitedly waiting for us,” says Mandar Chandwadkar, who plays the role of Bhide in the show.

Post the Government’s announcement to allow the entertainment industry to resume operations, the show’s production unit has been taking conscious efforts to decide on safest ways to resume operations.

“We are yet to receive a confirmation on when exactly we will begin shooting but we’ve been told that we will have to follow stringent protocols to ensure our own as well as others’ safety at work. Nevertheless, just the thought that the Gokuldham Society will be back again on TV to entertain our fans and make them laugh, is very exhilarating,” says Palak Sidhwani, who plays the role of Sonu.

The production team is deliberating to the smallest detail and are charting out plans to ensure that everyone on the set is as safe as possible. Sheds have been erected at various places inside the set as a safety measure to maintain social distance especially for monsoon season. Billed as the world’s longest-running family comedy serial, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is running in its 12th year and is watched by millions of Indians worldwide.
“I have been playing the character of Jethalal for the past 12 years and he is now almost a part of my life. For the last three months, I have been missing that part, my Gokuldham family and my audience family. We all want for the shooting to resume as soon as possible and at the same time there is apprehension in everyone’s minds regarding the safety precautions. But again, having said that, I am sure the way Asit Bhai has managed and taken care of the team since the last 12 years, he will once again make the apt decision which is best for the show as well as for the artists and crew members. I have full confidence in him that he will take good care of the team,” concludes Dilip Joshi, who plays the role of Jethaa Lal.

Palak Sidhwani on Not Being Friends With Raj Anadkat in Real Life From 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah'

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been on the tube for over 12 years and the current Tapu and Sonu (played by Raj Anadkat and Palak Sidhwani respectively) are the replacements of characters played by other actors before. While Anadkat has been on the show for almost three years now, Sidhwani has been the latest entrant and has been on the show for a few months.

Having off-screen friendships in the entertainment industry is something that is indeed a special incentive of sorts. We all know the kind of immensely long hours the cast and crew of a show or film puts in to make it work and in such a case, if you're friends or partners with your co-actors, it usually gets easier. That, of course, cannot be the case every time and sometimes, a cordial professional relationship is also as healthy and amazing as it can be.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been on the tube for over 12 years and the current Tapu and Sonu (played by Raj Anadkat and Palak Sidhwani respectively) are the replacements of characters played by other actors before. While Anadkat has been on the show for almost three years now, Sidhwani has been the latest entrant and has been on the show for a few months.

In a recent interview with , Sidhwani opened up on how she doesn't share a friendship per se with Anadkat off-screen but she does share a cordial professional bond with him. She said, “ See there are 80 people on the set, and it’s not necessary to be friends with each one of them, in fact in your office I’m sure you’re not friends with everyone who works there right? Raj and I, we share a professional relationship and there’s no fight as such, it’s just that I get along with Samay (Gogi), Kush (Goli) and Azhar (Pinku) more, but that doesn’t change the fact that Raj and I share a cordial relationship and he’s my working partner”.

Well, that is true and event though one isn't friends with each other, they can still share a cordial professional bond, isn't it?

While there has been a new entry in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, where veteran Rakesh Bedi recently made his entry as Taarak Mehta's (Shailesh Lodha) boss and will be doing a cameo, there are two shocking exits to be looking at.

Recently, we came to know that actor Neha Mehta, who plays the role of Anjali Mehta in the show has quit the show. And the other person who won't be returning is actor Gurucharan Singh aka Roshan Sodhi.

The actor, as we know was one of the first ones rumored to leave the show and that seems to have been sealed only recently. In fact, a report in SpotboyE suggests that actor Balwinder Singh Suri is the one who has replaced Singh and even started shooting today onwards.

One of the side-effects of this situation of restarting shoots post lockdown has been how some of the most loved and favorite shows are going through major changes in terms of the casting and other things. Another show that has also succumbed to changes but for other reasons is the pan India favorite, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. As we know, two favorites from the show, Neha Mehta and Gurucharan Singh aka Anjali Mehta and Roshan Singh Sodhi respectively have quit the show.

While, we already know that actor Balwinder Singh Suri is the one who has replaced Singh as Sodhi, there was no update about who will be replacing Mehta as Anjali till now.

The exact reason for Mehta quitting the show continues to be unclear as of yet but it is sealed that Fozdar has replaced Mehta and has, in fact, started shooting today onwards. Apart from these two changes, we also witnessed the entry of Rakesh Bedi as Taarak Mehta's (Shailesh Lodha) boss recently, and that will be a cameo.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah will be witnessing another replacement as Neha Mehta has decided to quit the show. We got in touch with her and here's what she has to say.



Post lockdown relaxations have brought in a new set of challenges for the makers of long-running comedy show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Earlier, there were reports doing the rounds that Gurucharan Singh, who plays Roshan Sodhi had quit the show. And after that, there were also reports about Neha Mehta aka Anjali Bhabhi, moving on from the show.

India Forums got in touch with Neha Mehta regarding the same, and she said, "Yes I have quit the show with a lot of pain. I have great respect for Producer Asit Modi. The show will always remain at the top of my heart. At this moment, I only want to say that all women's dignity is first and that's the same for me, and for me, it was very sensible right now moving out from the show. But I will always be entertaining the audience with good quality performance"

Default Sunayana Fozdar Opens Up on Replacing Neha Mehta in 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah'

Even though the exact reason of Neha quitting hasn't been known as of yet but her quotes suggested about maintaining 'dignity' apart from being nothing but thankful to the producer and to her co-actors.



It is indeed no secret that actor Neha Mehta has quit her 12 year stint in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah where she played the role of Anjali Mehta. Even though the exact reason of Neha quitting hasn't been known as of yet but her quotes suggested about maintaining 'dignity' apart from being nothing but thankful to the producer and to her co-actors.

Nevertheless, we also know that actor Sunayana Fozdar has become the one who has replaced Mehta in the show and has even started shooting for it.

Replacing someone who has been a fan favorite in as big a show that is Taarak Mehta.. is indeed a challenge and the actor opened up on the same in an interview with IWMbuzz. She said, “I and my family have always watched the show. I am very excited to join the cast. It all happened overnight hence, it’s yet to sink in. Having said that, I want to focus on work and give my best.”

On if she is feeling the pressure, she said, “Obviously, there is. I would be lying if I say that there is no pressure. 12 years is a long time and people are watching the character every day on their screens. Having said that producer and director have been very chilled out and they have made me feel extra conformable. I want to thank Asit sir for this opportunity. Taarak aka Sailesh ji has also been very sweet. The pressure is in my head as I hope the audience accepts me. They have a special corner for Neha and she has been fabulous for 12 years as Anjali. It is not easy to stick around for so long. She was amazing and people love her so much, I hope to receive the same love.”

Talking about what she will be doing with the character, she said, “I would be keeping the basics of the character intact. I won’t change the thinking of the character. Having said that, I am not going to mimic Neha but get in my own flavour. I want to become Anjali for the audiences.” Interestingly, Fozdar reunited with actor Raj Anadkat where they worked together in Ek Rishta Saajhedaari ka on Sony TV. On the same she said, “Raj who plays the role of Tappu was with me in TV show Ek Rishta Sajhedaari Ka. I was playing his Bhabhi in the show. I have not met him on set as of now as we have not had our shoot together. We had a good bond there. Otherwise, also, the cast of Taarak cast has also been very welcoming. They came and spoke to me and made me conformable.”

Talking about her favourite character in the show, she says, “Dayaben and Jethaa Lal has been favourite of a lot of people. Daya ben has been very cute and funny.”

In conclusion, she said, “I want fans to support me. I would request them to be kind to me. Honestly, I don’t want to get into her (Neha) shoes but I want to get a new pair of shoes and I hope audiences accept that. I won’t be able to be exactly like Neha but I will do my best. My main motto is to entertain audiences and I will do that for sure. I just want them to give me a chance.”

Default Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: Jethalal Chases Goli

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is about to witness an interesting twist of turns and here's what the viewers can expect.



SAB TV's Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the longest and popular running shows. It has been keeping the audiences glued to the show with regular plots twists and drama. Post lockdown, the show has come back with a rather interesting track.

We have already seen that Jethalal tells Sundar how he is fed up with the dreams he sees every day. And then, Sundar suggests that he will think of some idea but Jethalal gets worried and asks him not to. He assures Jethalal that he will come up with the best solution for him.

In today’s episode, Jethaa Lal hopes to do a good selfless deed by preparing fresh hot pakoras for his dear friend Taarak Mehta. However, unfortunately, he bumps into Goli in the S\society compound, who immediately knows there’s a treat in the container that Jethaa Lal is carrying with him. The container lands into Goli's hands & Jethaa Lal is left with no choice but to beg him to spare some of the pakoras.

But we all know how much Goli loves his food. Jethaa Lal chases Goli all across the compound, pleading him to not consume the pakoras but to no avail. The pleads fall on deaf ears and Goli easily manages to dodge Jethaa Lal as he munches away all of the pakoras. From begging sympathetically, Jethaa Lal’s emotions crescendo with fury and despair as he helplessly watches his pakoras disappear one by one into Goli’s mouth.

Default A Peaceful Night’s Sleep Is A Dream Come True Moment For Jethaalal

It looks like Jethaalal is trying really hard to do a good deed, but what is going to happen after all? Read on to know what is about to go through right here.



The upcoming episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), produced by Neela Film Productions Private Limited, will see Jethaalal bounce all over the place with joy. Yes! After several fidgety nights filled with nightmares, Jethaalal has finally had a fully peaceful night’s sleep. He’s so excited about it that, for a change, he wakes up early to break the good news to Bapuji and Tapu. And because they are still asleep, Jethaalal decides to play a small prank to wake them up.

While all of Jethaalal’s deliberate efforts to do a good deed fail, an opportunity presents itself to him. At Bhide’s house, Jethaalal is trying his best to convince Bhide to accept three months’ maintenance cheque in the hope that this gesture would become that one good deed that in turn would help him get a peaceful night’s sleep. But Bhide flatly refuses to accept it.

However, in the midst of this debate, something happens that changes the fate for Jethaalal. This turn of event is all that Jethaalal needs that will fulfill the condition for him to have a nightmares-free sleep. And this is exactly what happens next. Alas, Jethaalal wakes up the following morning feeling great but also, in the mood for a prank. The prank may not be to Bapuji’s liking but, Jethaalal cannot resist himself. All through the ups and downs, as always, viewers will be kept entertained and laughter is guaranteed.

The Ganpati celebrations continue on-screen as Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is about to welcome Bappa amid the new normal.

Here's how it is going to look like!



The upcoming episode of Neela Film Productions Private Limited’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) will see Ganapati Bappa arrive in Gokuldhaam Society. Bappa is here! And Gokuldhaamites’ excitement is at its peak. However, while the celebrations are not the same as every year, the enthusiasm level of everyone in society is the same, if not more.

Tapu sena, as promised, has made meticulous arrangements to welcome Ganapati Bappa into the Society. With our planet Earth on one side, the pandal has been kept minimalistic but is elegantly decorated. Madhavi and Bhide along with Tapu sena set up Bappa’s idol in its place and perform an aarti welcoming him back.

Keeping the precautionary measures in mind, the residents of Gokuldhaam Society have agreed on each family performing aarti separately. Meanwhile, everyone gets a Darshan of Bappa streamed on their TV sets through the cameras installed around the pandal.

Watch Neela Film Productions Private Limited’s show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah from Monday to Friday at 8:30 pm only on SAB TV.
