Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma: Its Jethalal, Oops! Dilip Joshi’s Birthday Today

Dilip Joshi aka Jethalal Champak Lal Gadha of Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chasma (TMKOC), who has been making us laugh for 12 years, turns 52 today. Yes, it is his birthday. Although he is most identifiable with his character of Jethalal since 2008, Joshi has been in the entertainment industry for a long time. Not many know that he has been a known face in Bollywood movies as well.

He started his acting career in 1989 playing the character of Ramu in the film Maine Pyar Kiya starring Salman Khan and later appeared in movies like Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani and Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! What’s Your Rashee and Dhoondte Reh Jaoge.

Dilip starred in multiple Gujarati dramas and Hindi comedy telecoms like Agdam Bagdam Tigdam too.

But what defines Dilip Joshi today, is his character of Jethala Gada, which is loved by both serial as well as all meme lovers. 

The sitcom TMKOC is still on air and Jethalal continues to be his savage, funny, perverse self.
