The show’s success is attributed to its close connection with the Indian society which it represents through its story line and its characters. No wonder, the show’s Gokuldhaam Society which has become a landmark by itself, is often referred to as ‘Mini India’.
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah aired for the first time on 28 July, 2008 and was telecast on SAB TV, Sony Pictures Network India.
“To Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's audiences, fans and its supporters, I thank you with all my heart. Every milestone that the show achieves is a matter of pride not just for us but for the entire nation which brings us great joy,” said Mr. Asit Kumarr Modi, creator of the show.
A well-rounded show, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah effectively captures all emotions and embodies the social fabric of our country. It is a proponent of India’s rich and varied culture and of its unity in diversity. Through intelligent and relevant content, the show makes ingenious efforts to instill positivity and promote happiness in everyone’s lives.
“3000 episodes is a significant milestone but at the end of the day, it still is just a number. We aspire to carry on entertaining and spreading social awareness amongst our viewers with the same dedication and passion like we have for the last 12 years. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is the world's longest running daily family comedy show because of the entire team’s efforts and commitment. I also thank each and everyone associated with the show who has contributed to its huge success,” concludes Mr. Modi.
Celebrating this major feat of the show and expressing their excitement on the same, Balvinder Singh Suri, who plays the role of Sodhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah said in a statement, " It’s Balle-Balle time for us! Cannot believe that the show has completed 3000 episodes. Although I have only recently joined the team but the set feels like home, like I belong here. On the sets, I feel like being a part of a big Indian family. The occasion is grand, so must be its celebration. It’s now time to party and no one, not even Roshan can stop me from celebrating."
"As they say 'laughter is the best medicine' so we ensure that we keep you healthy with the humour. I came across quite a few viewers who felt optimistic during the whole lockdown watching our show. I feel proud being part of the show as it is one of the few shows on Indian television that has witnessed such a huge fan base over the last 12 years. I am glad that we’ve completed 3000 episodes which makes it one of the longest-running daily comedy shows." stated Nirmal Soni who plays the role of Dr. Haathi.
Samay Shah, who essays the role of Gogi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah said, "Gokuldhaam Society is home to us. There wasn't a single day over the last 3000 episodes when we didn't enjoy our work. If I were to express how I feel being part of this team in one word, then it would be 'FUN'. Asit Sir and the team have always supported us – Tapu sena. There was an unexpected break in our shootings due to the lockdown, but now as we are back we promise the audience lots of surprises and great entertainment. I, on behalf of the whole Tapu sena thank viewers for the love all through these years."
