Taarak
Mehta
Ka
Ooltah
Chashmah
is
one
of
the
longest-running
shows
and
has
amassed
a
massive
fan.
However,
when
the
show
returned
with
new
episodes
after
the
COVID-19
lockdown
last
year,
it
received
some
flak
for
not
being
entertaining
enough.
Many
avid
viewers
complained
that
the
show’s
quality
was
dwindling.
The
Sony
SAB
sitcom
was
also
trolled
on
social
media
by
some
netizens
for
showing
boring
content
on
the
small
screen.
And
now,
the
show’s
producer
Asit
Modi
has
opened
up
in
an
interview
about
these
claims.
He
reacted
by
stating
that
the
crew
is
facing
many
challenges
due
to
the
pandemic
and
that
everyone
is
giving
their
best
to
entertain
the
viewers.
Asit
was
quoted
by
HT
as
saying,
"Honestly,
we
are
shooting
during
the
pandemic,
the
situation
is
very
bad
in
the
city
and
we
all
know
that.
I
am
not
giving
an
excuse
here,
but
we
face
a
lot
of
issues
on
a
regular
basis."
He
went
on
to
add,
"We
can't
show
a
repetitive
storyline
to
the
audience
because
the
sitcom
has
a
repeat
telecast
on
the
channel
and
it
is
also
equally
loved
by
people
and
we
will
be
caught.
We
can't
afford
to
do
that.
We
work
day
and
night,
the
writers
so
that
we
bring
good
stories.
We
are
not
repetitive
and
that's
the
only
reason
the
show
has
sustained
in
the
industry
for
the
last
13
years."
It
must
be
noted
that
a
while
back,
the
show’s
director
Malav
Rajda
was
also
trolled
on
similar
lines
on
social
media.
A
fan
had
commented
on
a
post
by
the
director
by
writing,
“No
your
direction
sucks
bro
the
show
is
terrible
now.”
Malav
was
quick
to
respond
and
wrote
back,
“ok
point
noted.”
