Its London calling for Dilip Joshi aka Jethalal. Jethalal will be missing from the scene for a short bit giving Daya (Disha Vakani) some serious withdrawal symptoms. Not just Daya, but also the fans of this popular family comedy show, will be deprived of hearing ‘Nonsense’ for sometime. For the first time the couple will go far away from each other, as Jethalal has won the lucky draw in London and he will be soon leaving for the same.
“Jethalal will now be going to London in the show as he has won the lucky draw” informs the source. Jethalal is into the business of electronic goods and services. And since he has been trading the maximum goods, he was rewarded with the most- sought after excursion!
As Gokuldham society is known to celebrate even small success with utter commotion, Jetha’s London tour is bound to be a grand mayhem of sweet celebrations.
Bon Voyage!

Finding a lighter side to all problems in life gives a fresher and positive outlook to living in a chaotic world. SAB not only keeps one family together but knits a full community with its new show that brings a positive perspective to the usual situations of life. Called ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmah’, the show revolves around members of a single housing society who face common real life situations. But finding simple solutions and the underlying message of always keeping positive perspective to life, is its highlight. The show will air everyday starting 28th July 2008, Monday to Thursday at 8:30pm only on SAB TV.
The show is based on a popular humor coloumn called ‘Duniya Ne Undha Chasma’ written by the eminent Gujrati writer Taarak Mehta for over 37 years in Chitralekha magazine. His coloumns have a social base with mass appeal that cover topical issues. The show is being produced by Mr.Asit Modi of Neela Telefilms who have made some popular comedy shows like ‘Hum Sab Ek Hain’, ‘Meri Biwi Hain Wonderful’, Yeh Duniya Hai Rangeen’. According to Mr. Asit Modi the show is an amalgamation of topical happening flavored with humor and seasoned with a different perspective of Taarak’s trademark.
Commenting on the launch of the show, Mr. Anooj Kapoor, Business Head SAB said, “In today’s time when you get to see only family feuds in real as well as reel life, the ability to find simple solutions is the key to bind the family together. This is the underlying theme of our show and if SAB contributes even a little towards bringing all family members together and enjoying the show at the same time, it will be a dream come true for us at SAB. The show is a genuine effort to bring Taarak Mehta’s inspiring thoughts to the world”.
The show predominantly revolves around Jethalaal an uneducated Gujrati businessman. He and his family live in Golkuldham Co-operative Society. Taarak Mehta is his neighbour. Jethalaal finds a friend and philosopher in Taarak Mehta and often goes to him for advice whenever he is in trouble. Jethalaal has a wife named Daya Ben and a mischievous son Tapu who is his constant cause of worry. The society members have often warned Jethalaal to reform Tapu or else be prepared to be ousted from the society. After loosing all hope Jethalaal calls his father Champaklal as a last resort, thinking that he might be of help to reforming the mischievous brat. But much to his surprise Champaklal joins hands with the brat and constantly makes life absolutely miserable for Jethalaal.
