Decoding the reason behind Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmahs success, Yashika Singla of The Print stated, "The major appeal of the television show is the idea of ethics and ‘Indian values’ at the very core of its scripts. To its credit, it also talked about a multitude of social issues and created awareness about them in its own light-hearted manner. It also had an age-inclusive cast that set it apart from other family dramas, beyond the confines of a typical female-audience focusing saas-bahu serial."^[81]
