After its long run, for over a decade, 'Taarak mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' had come to a halt due to COVID-19. The cast and crew had to wait for months before they got back on the sets, adjusting to the new normal.

The show went on floors again in July, after the government started the Unlock phases. They started shooting with santisation and safety protocols in place.

A new cast came into being after 'Anjali bhabhi' played by Neha Mehta was replaced by Sunanya Fozdar. The character of 'Sodhi' was also replaced from Gurucharan Singh Sodhi to Balwinder Singh Suri.
