The Mehtas
The Mehta family headlined by Taarak Mehta, who is responsible for providing a unique perspective to the rest of the characters of the show when they find themselves in difficult situations. He has a wife in Sunayana Fozdar aka Anjali. Sunanya became a Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma cast member after Neha Mehta, who previously played Anjali for 12 years, parted ways with the makers.

The Gadas
The Gadas own an electronics shop, and the turmoils and predicaments of the earning member of their family, Jethalal (played by Dilip Joshi), are the ones that are majorly explored through the show. He has a child in Tipendra "Tapu" Gada, played by Bhavya Gandhi. The Gada Family has a patriarch-like figure in Amit Bhatt's Champaklal Gada, who is Jethalal's father.

The Sodhis
The cast of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma also consists of the Sodhi Family, who are said to be one of the main sources of the show's hilarity. The Sodhi Family comprises Gurucharan Singh's Roshan, who has a wife in Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal's Roshan, and Samay Shah's Gogi Singh Sodhi.

The Hathis
The Hathi family is made up of Nirmal Soni's Dr Hathi, Ambika Ranjankar's Komal Hathi, and Kush Shah's Goli. Previously, Kavi Kumar Azad had played Dr. Hathi, but after his unfortunate demise after succumbing to a cardiac arrest, Nirmal Soni stepped in to take the character's story forward.

The Bhides
The secretary of Gokuldham society, Aatmaram aka Mandar Chandwadkar is also colloquially known as "Golkuldham ka ekmeva secretary'. Madhavi Bhide, his wife, is brought to life by Sonalika Joshi. TMKOC's Sonu was earlier essayed by Jheel Mehta and she was later replaced by Nidhi Bhanushali. But, as of now, TMKOC's Sonu is currently played by Palak Sidhwani.

The Iyers
The Iyer clan is made up of Tanuj Mahashabde's Krishnan Iyer and Munmun Dutta, who is famous for her character of Babita in TMKOC. The Iyer family, every now and then, becomes the center of the attention of the show, primarily due to Munmun Dutta's character of Babita in TMKOC.
