It is 2000 episodes for Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah!

The cast and crew of SAB TV’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah are on cloud nine as their show crosses the 2000 episode benchmark. The show recently entered its 9th year and have also secured an entry in the Limca Book of World Records. The show has been titled as the ‘Longest running comedy show’ on television. The team of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah got together for a small celebration on the sets. The mood was festive with a special cake brought in which was cut by the whole team.

Dilip Joshi who plays Jethalal Gada said, “It’s such a surreal experience. Today when I got up in the morning and I realized it is 28th of July 2016 and I remember the day when the first episode was about to be aired, we were hoping that it works out. I never thought it would go on for so long. 2000 episodes for a comedy show is a big thing.”

Produced by Neela Tele Films and created by Asit Kumar Modi, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is based on the column Duniya Ne Oondha Chashma written by journalist and columnist Taarak Mehta for a weekly Gujarati magazine Chitralekha.
