Munmun Dutta reflects on her 16 year of TMKOC journey

Munmun Dutta, who is best known for her character Babita Iyer in the longest running sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), feels grateful as the show has completed 4,000 episodes, reflecting upon her 16 years of hard work, big dreams and perseverance.

The show that aired first in July 2008, is now in its 16th year. It is based on the weekly column Duniya Ne Undha Chasma by Tarak Mehta in Chitralekha magazine.

Hailing from West Bengal, the 36-year-old actress plays the character of Babita, who is the wife of Iyer (played by Tanuj Mahashabde). Babita is the secret crush of Jethalal (played by Dilip Joshi).

Reflecting upon this remarkable feat achieved by the makers of the show, Munmun took to the Instagram, and shared several pictures, and behind-the-scenes videos with other cast members, celebrating 4,000 episodes.

In the photos, we can see Munmun posing in the Gokuldham housing society. She is wearing a blue floral pantsuit and smiling ear to ear as she poses against a huge backdrop of marquee lights showing 4,000 episodes.

The string of photos were captioned as: “4000 Episodes. More grateful for everything today. Couldn’t have been more grateful for everything today… Small town girl with big dreams…16 years later, after immense hard work, hardships and perseverance, here I Am Today.”
