While netizens celebrate Social Media Day every day, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Gokuldham-vaasis also celebrated social media day in their own unique way on Twitter. In an interesting twitter banter, Aatmaram Bhide tweeted his suvichar – thought for the day, “Aaj ka suvichaar: Social media ke madhyam se baat karo, sahi jaankari do aur ek dusre ko protsahit karo!” (The thought for the day: Interact, Enlighten and Motivate through Social Media) while everyone from Gokuldham society interacted with the same. Jethalal replied to the tweet with, “Arey Bhide! Kya baat hai bhai… aagaya aapko bhi repeater use karne,” to which Gogi prompts, “Aare Jetha uncle! Repeater nahi, TWITTER!!”
