Yahoo’s Most Searched Show Of 2020: Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah claims top slot, defeats Mirzapur 2 and Bigg Boss 14

The year 2020 is coming to an end and it is time to look back at the television shows and films that managed to attract the audience seated at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Popular search engine Yahoo recently released the list of the most searched television shows and film of 2020. Topping the list is one of the longest-running sitcoms Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah starring Dilip Joshi in the central character of Jethalal Gada defeated the popular web series Mirzapur and controversial reality show Bigg Boss.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah made headlines this year for the tiff between producer Asit Kumarr Modi and Disha Vakani, who played the role of Daya Jethalal Gada in the show. Also, character replacements, new episodes and its 12th anniversary grabbed attention. Ramanand Sagar's iconic Mahabharat made it to the list as the second most searched show. The 3 decades old show made a comeback when fresh episodes of new shows are discontinued due to COVID-19 lockdown.
