Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and FIR are amongst the most popular Indian sitcoms ever. While the former one is still enjoying a stupendous run, the latter was called off in 2015. Much before Taarak Mehta kicked off in 2008, Dilip Joshi aka Jethalal and Amit Bhatt aka Champaklal had appeared in Kavita Kaushik led sitcom and we know, very few people would be aware of it.
Before Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah started in 2008, several actors of the sitcom have been part of other shows. One such is FIR. It traces back to the days when Shiv Panditt used to play senior head officer Hanuman Prasad Pandey. It’s episode 77 in which Dilip and Amit played chaatwala and doctor, respectively.
Dilip Joshi plays chaatwala who serve adulterated chat to his customers and as soon as they fall unconscious, Amit Bhatt (doctor) cashes upon the opportunity and make money. Kavita Kaushik aka Chandramukhi Chautala exposes their racket and arrests them.
Meanwhile, a couple of months ago, Ormax Media carried out research related to the Indian television world. Titled as Ormax Characters India Loves (Hindi), the media consulting firm made a list of the top 5 Most Popular Fiction Characters. Believe us, the results were quite interesting.
