You cannot discuss romance in TMKOC without mentioning Shyam Pathak’s character, Patrakar Popatlal. His character arc is a perpetual "romantic tragedy" played for laughs. Popatlal’s obsession with getting married has led to dozens of storylines featuring potential brides who, for one reason or another, end up marrying someone else or leaving the society.

Their romance isn't expressed through grand gestures but through small moments: Daya’s signature "Hey Maa, Mataji!" reactions to Jethalal’s troubles, and Jethalal’s secret pride in her unique Garba skills. Despite Jethalal’s frequent frustrations with her quirks, their mutual respect and loyalty are unwavering. 2. The One-Sided "Crush": Jethalal and Babita Ji

A high-energy couple where the husband’s love for partying is balanced by the wife’s fierce protectiveness. Conclusion

Their relationship is defined by their shared love for food and their jolly, "Sahi Baat Hai" outlook on life.

The marriage of Krishnan Iyer and Babita is a unique "mismatch" that works. Iyer, a scientist, is often depicted as protective and slightly insecure due to Jethalal’s attention toward his wife. This creates a hilarious rivalry between Jethalal and Iyer. However, Babita and Iyer’s relationship is rooted in modern companionship, showing a couple that balances intellectual pursuits with social life. 4. The Intellectual Bond: Taarak and Anjali

Babita, meanwhile, remains blissfully (or politely) unaware of the depth of his crush, treating him as a dear friend and neighbor. This "flirtation" is kept strictly lighthearted and PG, ensuring it fits the show's family-friendly mold while giving viewers a recurring reason to chuckle. 3. The Science of Love: Babita and Iyer
