External filming for specific scenes has taken place in locations, for example: Gujarat, New Delhi, Goa and in overseas locations such as London, Brussels, Paris, Hong Kong and Singapore.[37][38]

On completing 1000 episodes on 6 November 2012,[39] Asit Kumarr Modi stated that it took eight years to get the show on air:

"Originally, it was a column in a Gujarati magazine, and I bought its rights in 2001. I approached every channel, but the trend of daily soaps had just started, and saas-bahu shows dominated the scene. Whoever I approached said there was no scope for comedy every day. But I had a feeling that one-day comedies, too, would become a daily trend. Finally, in 2008, Taarak Mehta... came on the air."[40]

In February 2015, Joshi, Vakani, and Lodha hosted the red carpet at the 60th Britannia Filmfare Awards to promote the Clean India campaign.[41] From March to June 2020, filming shut down in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India.[42] During the same period it was revealed that it was originally planned for two years and might have gone off-air in 2010 itself as per original plan. But viewers' love made it a seamless series.[43] The show started broadcasting its new episodes from 22 July 2020.[44]

By 24 September 2020, the 3000th episodes had been filmed .[45]

The series was also dubbed in Telugu as Tarak Mama Ayyo Rama for ETV Plus[46] and Marathi as Gokuldhamchi Duniyadari for Fakt Marathi.[47]

The show faced a controversy on 25 April 2022 in episode number 3441 where a tribute to singers Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar, SP Balasubrahmanyam, Bappi Lahiri was given, it wrongly mentioned 1965 as year of Sino-Indian War and Aye Mere Watan Ke Logo song instead of 1962. The team issued a public apology the same day hours after the broadcast of that episode by correcting their mistake.[54]
