A few trillion years ago, Asit Kumarr Modi's Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah went on air and changed the sitcom scene in India. The show chronicling the lives of Gokuldham Society residents stuck chords of Indian households and became a part of our daily lives. Every night, families huddled at dinner time, cackling as Jethalal belittled his wife Daya's antics in the 'funniest' way possible. So many people enthusiastically ramble about Friends being the greatest sitcom of all time. 'Timeless and iconic', they call it without realising we have something far more superior. Truth be told, TMKOC is actually a 'family-friendly' Friends. Everyone in Gokuldham is a friend. We have Abdul for Gunther. The show is celebrated to this date. HELL, it's still on air cracking similar jokes despite half of its original cast having walked out for whatever reasons. Okay, the reference is a tad bit exaggerated, but it's something. At the heart of everything is the eventful life of Jethalal, whose wife hasn't returned from Ahmedabad for 6 years now. There must be a reason why Jethalal continues to be the beloved character he is, why he's celebrated to date. In fact, he's taught us so many things without being preachy. They tell us we shouldn't take fiction so seriously, so we aren't. Here's unseriously why Jethalal is actually progressive. Click the Link in Bio. #SWEditDesk #Jethalal #TMKOC
