Many fans of the cult comedy TV show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah feel that the OG episodes of the show were much more impressive qualitywise than the latest ones. While that is highly objective, some earlier episodes of the show were indeed a fine blend of comedy and emotions. Did you know that in one such episode, Dilip Joshi’s Jethalal was mistaken for a spy in Pakistan? Yes, you heard that right! Not only this, but he was also arrested by the Pakistani authorities and thrown into jail.
It all happened after Dilip Joshi’s character lost his way during a camel ride in Kutchh. He lands up in Pakistan after crossing the border accidentally and is soon mistaken for a spy by the Pakistani authorities. The storyline was very heavy on emotions as it saw Jethalal’s wife Dayaben (Disha Vakani), son Tipendra (Bhavya Gandhi) and father Champaklal Gada (Amit Bhatt) going to great lengths to free him from the Pakistan jail.
They also ask for help from the Pakistani embassy in Delhi but find it extremely difficult to free Jethalal from the prison. On the other hand, Jethalal also had its own fair share of adventures in the Pakistan jail. While initially the authorities were hostile to him, later, he managed to warm up to them along with his co-prisoners. He also ended up repairing a Pakistani officer’s phone, courtesy of his having his own shop for electronics.
