EPIC CHARACTERS EPISODE 1: JETHALAL CHAMPAKLAL GADA

WHY IS JETHALAL THE MOST RELATABLE TV CHARACTER EVER?
At his emotional best he can make us cry!!!
He can make us empathize with him just by his overflowing natural and fantastic expressions
He has been the constant source of laughs and giggles for each and every Indian household since the show's inauguration in 2008.
He is non other than Jethalal who is bapuji's Jethiyaa, Babita ji's Jetha Ji or Abdul's Jetha bhai.
he is unarguably the best character of the show, for many, including me, he has to be the best indian comic character, Dilip Joshi, the TV actor is more famous than many of the film actors and very understandingly Dilip Joshi has won more than 15 awards for his role as jethalal inspite of so many new comic serials and actors, Jethalal has been the one who has stood apart from others.
Now we know that he is the best comic actor (atleast of the last decade) but is he also the most relatable television actor?  So we have seen various TV characters ranging from Dwight in the Office to Chandler in F.R.I.E.N.D.S , no i am not creating a controversy by comparing anyone, all I am doing is checking the relatability of Jethalal to the real world. Let us check it out in the following blog-
Lets have a look over some of his most relatable attributes :

1. LOVE FOR FOOD- Do we have a man on the planet who does not like good food, till the time you think of an example, let us look further into this very important facet of Jethalal's life. Now each of us TMKOC fans very well know about the fortune of Jethiyaa, such is the greatness of his destiny that even his most beloved friend, Mehta Saab advised him to change his name to Pareshanlal, but when it comes to food, this man has a good share of luck on his side, and more often than not he gets to savour extremely tasty food. Jethalal, the avid- jalebi eater is too relatable to all of us when it comes to his eating habits be it his habit of over-eating when food is good or his restlessness in the absence of the over hyped morning tea (okay this is an unpopular opinion) or the best of all, immense love for mango.

1. THE TYPICAL BUSINESSMAN PHYSIQUE- So yeah we all love watching our favorite actors in the best of their shapes , with those chiseled jawlines and flawless abs, but all of that is too unnatural and unbelievable( seriously do we have businessmen with biceps of sixteen). So, unlike the rest of the TV shows, TMKOC didn't make the same mistake and wherein the leading characters of other TV shows have body figures no less than that of Hritik Roshan, Jethalal's character is a way more believable portrayal of an Indian businessman with that pouring belly and that cute double chin(OK, I am sorry). He cannot kill tones of men neither does he has an extraordinary stamina, instead he uses his kacchi dimag to deal with his problems(infinite).

1. HAS A GO-TO FRIEND- I have always been an avid fan of TV shows, but I always wondered that why do most of the leading characters are always unlucky when it comes to having a 24x7 go-to best friend but Jethalal is not one of them, like most of us, he also has a best friend( the fire brigade, as he is called), Taarak Mehta, who is always open for him and is the solution provider for all his problems. From helping him in his party endeavors to helping him get out of the clutches of any goon.

1. FAILED PARTY PLANS- This has to be the most relatable attribute to the greatest population of India i.e. failed party plans, exactly where on earth do we have people having a successful party planning, I am yet to see a party planning being a success, this notion of planning parties is a concept inserted into our brains by these unrealistic TV shows and movies, but TMKOC again does the trick of being true to reality, and Jethalal is the one who mostly suffers the most , owing to the presence of his super strict dad( okay, Bapuji).

1. CRUSH ON BABITAJI- I am sorry for this one, I know none of you saw this coming, but seriously who is a TMKOC fan and not a Babitaji fan? we don't have such a subset. Like most of us Jethalal too has a crush on babita ji, this is also the most relatable trait of our beloved "Jetha ji"

But this post does not mean that the TMKOC is all realistic and true to real world, we would talk about those things in some other post, until then enjoy Jethalal and also in the times of lockdown "NAHANE JA NAHANE JAAAAA"
