Did You Know? Late Jatin Kanakia Is Responsible For Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is the cult of Indian comedy shows. In July 2021, the show will complete 13 years. Behind the success of such a magnitude, there are minds, efforts of several creative people and late actor Jatin Kanakia was one of them. It wouldn’t be wrong if we say that he was responsible for the birth of the sitcom.

For those who don’t know, Jatin Kanakia was also known as the ‘prince of comedy’ due to his contribution to comedy. He is known for his work in Gujarati plays, Hindi television shows and movies, but more than anything else, the actor is still remembered for his work in Shrimaan Shrimati. He played Keshav Kulkarni who has a big crush on his neighbour (Archana Puran Singh).

While speaking for TEDxNHLMMC, producer Asit Kumarr Modi shared his inspiring story. He shared how he was inspired by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s work ethic and principles. Asit was clear about making a comedy show which will make people laugh on daily basis, but he had no concept. And then Jatin Kanakia came to his rescue.
