Jethalal’s unrequited crush on Babita and his intense jealousy of Iyer.
If you haven’t visited Gokuldham Society lately, go back to Episode 1. The chai is still garam, Jetha is still panicking, and Daya is still waiting to come back home.
He left in 2022 due to creative and financial differences, but his work in the first several hundred episodes, especially 1–100, remains iconic.
The entire society fighting over a single tanker or dry taps.
The structural engineer and his beautiful wife. Jethalal’s immediate crush on Babita and his unspoken rivalry with Iyer were introduced almost immediately, creating one of Indian TV’s most enduring running gags. Iconic Storylines from Episodes 1 To 100
The overarching theme of the first 100 episodes is "Atithi Devo Bhava" (The guest is equivalent to God) and "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (The world is one family). The characters frequently clash due to cultural differences—food habits, language barriers, and traditions—but these clashes are always resolved through mutual respect. The show illustrates that while the "food on the plate" may differ, the "hunger" for community remains the same.
