TMKOC: ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ is one of the longest running and popular sitcoms on Indian television. All the characters of this show are extremely popular among the audience, especially Jethalal, Dayaben, Tappu, Bhide and Babita ji. But in recent times, the audience’s passion for this show seems to be decreasing.
The audience is not happy with the changes in the story of the show. For the last few years, the audience has been constantly expressing dissatisfaction with its story. Now the makers are being trolled heavily on social media regarding the latest track of the show.
The show lost its shine due to the absence of Dayaben
Ever since Disha Vakani, aka Dayaben, left the show, ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ has seen a huge drop in fan following. Viewers have repeatedly asked the makers for Dayaben’s return, but they have not received any satisfactory answer yet.
Initially, the show was known for its light-hearted comedy, social messages and unique characters of Gokuldham Society. But now, more drama and unnecessary changes are being made in the story, which has made the viewers unhappy.
Anger grew due to Tappu and Sonu’s love story
The current track of ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ focuses on the love story of Tappu and Bhide’s daughter Sonu. Earlier the show was based on family comedy, but now it has been given the form of a romantic drama.
It is being shown in the show that Bhide is talking about Sonu’s marriage, due to which not only Bhide is upset, but Tappu is also hurt by this news. In the latest episode, it is shown that Sonu’s marriage has been fixed with another boy and she is leaving Gokuldham Society with her fiancé. Hearing this news, Tappu is unable to control himself and starts crying and running behind Sonu’s car.
Is Sonu and Tappu’s relationship going to break?
Now the question arises whether Sonu and Tappu will really get separated? Or is this just a dream of some character? There is speculation among the audience that this could be just a fantasy, which some other character of the show has seen.
However, if this turns out to be true, it will bring a big change in the story. The show has had many dramatic twists in the past, but this time the audience is not happy with the change.
Fans’ anger erupted on social media
As soon as Sonu’s engagement promo came out, the audience started expressing their anger on social media.
- One user wrote, “Now this show is no longer a comedy but a daily soap.”
- Another said, “Earlier this show was worth watching with the family, but now it has become difficult to watch it.”
- Some fans even said that “If the show remains in this condition, it should be closed soon.”
- At the same time, some viewers believe that this is just a dream and it will be revealed in the upcoming episodes.
Is the future of the show in danger?
‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ has been entertaining the audience for years, but its popularity has declined in the last few years. There are many reasons for this –
- Departure of main characters
Many important actors like Dayaben (Disha Vakani), Tappu (Raj Anadkat), Anjali Bhabhi (Neha Mehta) have left the show. Due to this, the original identity of the show is getting lost somewhere. - Change in story
: Earlier the show was based on light-hearted humour and social issues but now it is showing too much drama which is reducing the interest of the viewers. - Ignoring the fans,
the audience demanded the return of Dayaben and the return of the old characters many times, but the makers ignored their wishes. - Competition from OTT and new shows
Nowadays, viewers have many options of OTT platforms and new entertaining TV shows. If a show fails to satisfy the audience, they easily switch to another show.
Will the makers make changes to save the show?
If the makers want ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ to regain its popularity, then they will have to make some necessary changes –
- Bringing Dayaben back – Dayaben’s character was the soul of this show. If Disha Vakani does not return, then another actress should be brought in this role.
- Focus on original comedy – The show should be re-presented with the same family comedy and social message that made it popular initially.
- Avoiding unnecessary romance and drama – The show had its identity as a classic sitcom, it needs to be avoided from turning into a daily soap.

Now it will be interesting to see what turn Sonu and Tappu’s story takes in the upcoming episodes. Will they really get separated, or will it just be a character’s dream?
The makers have to respect the sentiments of the audience and give the show back its original identity, otherwise the show may soon lose its shine.
