Comedians Samay Raina and Jethalal Reunite, Fans Ecstatic

On October 15th, 2025, stand-up comedian Samay Raina shared a joyful photo on Instagram with Dilip Joshi, the actor who plays the beloved character Jethalal on the popular Indian television show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. The two were spotted together at an event, smiling for the camera.

In the picture, Dilip Joshi wore a black outfit paired with a colorful jacket, while Samay Raina chose a black-and-white ethnic ensemble. Samay captioned the post simply, "Caption this," and added the playful hashtags "Tmkoc and Tmkc," referring to their respective shows.

The post quickly attracted reactions from fans and followers, who expressed their excitement at seeing the two comedic stars together. One user called them a "Show Stopper with Show Stopped," while another humorously commented, "Jalebi fafda X daily lafda." Others noted the unique dynamic between the two, with one saying, "Shortest and longest running shows," and another joking, "One wants a date with Babita, the other gets a date from the court." A fan praised the pair by commenting, "Samay Raina with God of humour."

Dilip Joshi has played the iconic character of Jethalal in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah since the show's debut in 2008. The sitcom is based on the weekly Gujarati column "Duniya Ne Undha Chasma" by the late columnist and playwright Taarak Mehta, and it has completed over 3,300 episodes, making it the longest-running daily sitcom on Indian television.

Samay Raina, on the other hand, has faced recent controversies. Earlier this year, he was named in an FIR along with other content creators for allegedly promoting inappropriate content on his YouTube show, "India's Got Latent." In August, the Supreme Court directed Samay Raina and several other creators to issue an unconditional apology on their YouTube channels for making insensitive remarks against people with disabilities.
