Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a popular family TV show that airs on SAB TV and is one of the longest-running Hindi shows. TMKOC cast includes kids and senior citizens and with the new government ban, it seems bleak that the show could resume filming. 

TMKOC revolves around a bunch of different families living in the same society called Gokuldham Co-operative Society. The main focus of the show is the Gada Family which consist of 4 people - Jethalal Champaklal Gada played by Dilip Joshi, his wife Daya played by Disha Vakani, Jethalal's father Champaklal Jayantilal Gada played by the veteran actor Amit Bhatt and Tapu played by Raj Anadkat. The show usually starts with a minute problem that gets solved by the end and also lets its viewers off with a good moral.
