TMKOC aired for the first time on July 28, 2008. Now that we are back on, our commitment to keep creating great content ingrained in social values, and spreading happiness and positivity through the show remains right at the top,” Asit Kumarr Modi, creator of the show said. Through this time too, our viewers and well-wishers stood by us and supported us. For the first time in 12 years, the airing of the show was interrupted for a couple of months due to the unfortunate lockdown. Completing 3000 happysodes, brings with it a feeling that I cannot effectively express in words. 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. “To Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's audiences, fans and its supporters, I thank you with all my heart. TMKOC has entertained audiences with humour for over 12 years and the show’s success can also be attributed to its close connection with the Indian society which it represents through its storyline and its characters.
