The Jethalal-Babita airport moment takes over the Internet- What really happened?

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah stars Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta recently became the centre of attention after they were spotted at the airport, albeit separately. Even without sharing screen space or having a direct interaction in public, their mere presence around the same location sent social media into a frenzy, proving once again the unmatched fan following they enjoy.

In the viral videos doing rounds online, Dilip Joshi was seen keeping things low-key in a crisp shirt, blue jeans, and a cap, with a mask covering most of his face. Surrounded by his security team, the actor maintained a humble profile. Munmun Dutta, on the other hand, brought her signature style to the scene. She opted for a sporty black romper-jumpsuit paired with a chic tote bag, walking alongside members of her team, radiating effortless charm.

Though the duo didn’t cross paths at the airport, the buzz they created shows just how iconic their pairing as Jethalal and Babita ji has become over the years. Fans flooded the comments sections of the videos with excitement, some even wishing for an actual off-screen reunion soon.

This sighting came on the heels of speculation about their exit from TMKOC, when both actors were absent from a key storyline, the ‘Bhootni’ track. Concerned viewers were quick to assume that they might be quitting the long-running show. However, those rumours were soon laid to rest as the duo reappeared on-screen, much to the relief of their loyal fanbase.

It’s hard to imagine Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah without these two. Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta have been an integral part of the sitcom since its very beginning, and their quirky, one-sided chemistry remains one of the highlights of the show even after 17 successful years.

Recently, the show celebrated this milestone with a grand bash attended by the entire cast and crew, reminding fans of the strong bond the team shares off-screen as well. Meanwhile, the current track revolves around a major scam involving Tekchand and Jethalal trying to retrieve Rs 25 lakhs, where Babita plays a key role by posing as a real estate agent.

From viral airport videos to dramatic on-screen plots, Jethalal and Babita ji continue to rule hearts and headlines alike and their fans wouldn’t have it any other way.
