The show that aired first in July 2008, is now in its 16th year. It is based on the weekly column 'Duniya Ne Undha Chasma' by Tarak Mehta in Chitralekha magazine.

"Standing tall with dignity! Whatever little I have achieved today is my own and no one can take that away from me. Grateful to God, this universe, to everyone," read the post.
The video shows Munmun having a fun chit chat with the other star cast, there is a glimpse of a huge chocolate cake which was designed in numbers showing 4000.
