Jethalal Champaklal Gada

Jethalal Champaklal Gada is a resident of Gokuldham society. He is not very tall, overweight, illiterate, and has a small moustache. Though he is an honest businessman, an ideal son, a perfect husband, and a caring father, Jethalal is quite careless and lazy (evident by the fact that he is a late riser).

He is a foodie and loves to eat meals prepared by his wife Daya(who annoys him the most). Jethalal is sometimes scolded by his father Champaklal for being strict with son Tapu and Daya. He is the proprietor of Gada Electronics. Jethalal is usually called as Jethiya by Champaklal, Tapu ke Papa by Daya and Jethaji by Babita. Jethalal has an innocent crush on Babita and leaves no chance to impress her. His luck is quite bad, and he always gets trapped into problems. Jethalal is always very distraught about his brother-in-law Sundar. Whenever he meets him, Sundar gives him a loss of thousands of rupees. As revealed in Episode 86, Jethalal's mother passed away in 1986.

He is shown to be very tensed about his father who seldom supports him in an argument; his mischievous son Tapu who instigates secretary Bhide to fights with him; Natukaka who always demands hike in his salary and Bagha who along with his business ideas and girlfriend Bawari irritates him.

His main enemy is Iyer, husband of Babita, whom he tries to keep away when he and Babita are together. His best friend is Taarak Mehta, who acts his troubleshooter and mentor. Jethalal loves to eat jalebi-fafda, a famous Gujarati snack. He is often shown cladding designer shirts are garish clothes.
