The show is loosely based on the life of Gujarati writer and director Taarak Mehta, who penned the column "Duniya Ne Unda Paksho" (The World Through a Different Lens) for the Gujarati magazine, Chitralekha. The show's narrative revolves around the lives of residents in a fictional society, Gada Da Vida, in the city of Mumbai. The main characters include Jethalal Gada, Daya Gada (his wife), Taarak Mehta (a writer and Jethalal's friend), Anjali Mehta (Taarak's wife), Champaklal Gada (Jethalal's father), and Sodhi (a Punjabi friend from Canada).
"Ulta" here means inverted, twisted, or paradoxical. The very traits that made the show lovable have become the traits that make it a viral joke. Here is how the inversion manifests: Tarak Mehta Ka Ulta Chasma Babita Xxx Video Hit
