'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' producer Asit Kumar Modi said no channel was willing to accept the show for six years.
"Given they were used to watching kitchen dramas, they couldn't understand how...[it] had no heroine or vamp," added Asit.
"There was...no saasu maa...The storyline had no major drama plots. They were in a state of disbelief," he stated.
