Plot Summary
Gokuldham Society is a residential Society in Mumbai in which six Indian families, respectively headed by Jethalal Champaklal Gada(From Kutchh) , Taarak Mehta(From Gujarat) , Aatmaram Tukaram Bhide(From Maharashtra) , Dr. Hansraj Hathi(From Bihar) , Sardar Roshan Singh Harjeet Singh Sodhi(From Punjab) and Krishnan Subramaniam Iyer (From Tamil Nadu and wife from West Bengal), a bachelor Patrakar Popatlal Pandey(From Madhya Pradesh) and a teenager Pinku live.There are also other individual characters like Sundarlal, Abdul, Natwarlal Prabhashankar Udhaiwala, Bagheshwar Dadukh Udhaiwala, Bawri and others. The members of the society and other induvidual characters have a good psychological attachment of love and sympathy for one another that makes them the members of a greater family. In the episodes of the show, the families are shown to live a life that a typical Indian family lives, but the characters, more often than not Jethalal, get into petty troubles cropping up from daily life activities that intensify in a comical manner, giving rise to laughter among the viewers. Humour in the show is further heightened by the individual quirks of the characters. Whatever be the nature of the problem that a member of the Society encounters, all the other members stand by them through thick and thin to extend every possible help. In an episode, the cessation of the problem that a character faces is usually followed by a moral commentary by Taarak Mehta meant for all the characters of the show as well as the viewers.
