Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah completes 12 successful years; a look at the cast then and now

One of the most-loved sitcoms, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltash Chashmah has completed 12 glorious years of its successful run. The 'Tapu Sena' and other cast has transformed and aged over the years. Let's take a look at Gokuldham vaasi's (residents) then and now pictures: (Photo: Instagram)

Dilip Joshi plays the role of Jethalal in the show and always sports a moustache, colourful shirts, and pants. He still looks the same and in the fresh episodes aired post lockdown, Dilip looks leaner. In other news, he recently made his debut on Instagram.(Photo: Instagram)

Although Disha Vakani is not seen on the show, it's almost impossible to not mention her name because she has contributed majorly to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. This is how she looks now. She hasn't returned to the show after embracing motherhood. (Photo: Instagram)

Munmun Dutta plays the role of Babita Iyer in the show. Jethalal has a crush on Babita ji and his healthy flirting with her entertains viewers. Here's how she looks now.(Photo: Instagram)

Champaklal Jayantilal Gada aka Amit Bhatt would show his bald head on the show yet. Now, he is often seen sporting the traditional cap. Interestingly, he plays the role of an adorable grandfather to Tapu on the show but in reality, he is 47 years old. (Photo: Instagram)

He's the lung of the show that supplies oxygen to everyone around. Shailesh Lodha essays the role of a writer and is often seen in smart casuals and trendy formals. Just like his 'param mitra' (dear friend) Jethalal, he, too, sports a moustache. (Photo: Instagram)

Anjali Mehta is seen as Taarak's dietitian wife on the show. She hasn't aged a bit and still continues to wear lovely kurtis. (Photo: Instagram)

From whites to now colourful plain shirts, Iyer's style has also changed over the years. At times, he's also seen donning t-shirts and jeans on the show. His banter with Jethalal keeps the audience glued on to the show. (Photo: Instagram)

He is the 'ek meva' (one and only) Secretary of the Gokuldham Society and a respected teacher. He is seen wearing kurta over jeans and shirts here and there. Nothing much has changed even now and he continues to impress with his "hamare zamaane mein" stories. (Photo: Instagram)

Madhavi essays the role of Aatmaram's wife, who makes papad and achaar (pickles) and supplies them. Her sleeveless blouse and beautiful bordered sarees are really loved. She, too, hasn't aged much. (Photo: Instagram)

The flamboyant Sikh of Taarak Mehta continues to dazzle on-screen with his turban look and brave skills. (Photo: Instagram)

Seen as Roshan Bhabhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, her outfits are pretty glamorous. She portrays the role of Sodhi's wife and outshines for her portrayal of a Parsi.(Photo: Instagram)

She plays a joyful character and is always seen smiling on the show. Komal bhabhi plays Dr. Hathi's wife and wears trousers and loose shirts on the show. Dr. Hathi's role was essayed by the late Kavi Kumar Azad. He brought life on screen by reciting the dialogue 'Sahi Baat Hai.'(Photo: Instagram)

Tapu Sena has grown up to be adults now on the show. Sonu has been replaced by Palak Sidhwani and her equation with Tapu on the show is much-talked-about. Goli, Gogi have also grown up and their equation offscreen has grown stronger.(Photo: Instagram)
