Launched in 2008, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah recently completed 14 years. In a recent interview with indianexpress.com, producer Asit Kumarr Modi confessed that it was hard to get the show on air as no one understood the concept. After being rejected by almost all channels for six years, he managed to crack a deal with SAB TV in 2008. However, his struggle did not end there, as audiences too could not connect with the show initially. “Given they were used to watching kitchen dramas, they could not understand how this show had no heroine or vamp. There was also no saasu maa. Instead of a haveli, the set was a society, and the storyline had no major drama plots. They were in a state of disbelief,” he shared. Today, TMKOC is the longest-running television show and has fans across the globe.
