Whether you are a ’90s kid or a Gen Z, if there is one show that has been tickling our funny bones across generations of Indians, it’s none other than the iconic Hindi sitcom, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC). The show has been running successfully for over 15 years now, and despite its various twists and turns, nothing beats the hilarious and heartwarming chemistry between ‘Jethalal’ (Dilip Joshi) and ‘Dayaben’ (Disha Vakani).
The phrase, “Ae paagal aurat” was never a part of the script
Dilip and Disha’s on-screen banter has given fans countless unforgettable moments, and one that stands out is Jethalal’s iconic catchphrase, “Ae paagal aurat,” which continues to spark meme fests even today! But did you know this legendary line is no longer part of the sitcom? Dilip Joshi recently spilled the beans on why it was axed. Fans of TMKOC will fondly remember the hilarious back-and-forth between Jethalal Gada (Dilip Joshi) and his on-screen wife Dayaben (Disha Vakani). Their chemistry was pure comedy gold. While OG fans still miss seeing the duo together on screen, they can never forget Jethalal’s signature line, “Ae paagal aurat,” which he often blurted out whenever Daya did something silly or outrageous.
