The horror-comedy film Stree 2 has taken the industry by storm, dominating the box office. Its success continues to break records with each passing day. However, do you know there is a strong connection between Stree 2 and television’s longest-running sitcoms Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Yes, you read it right! However, not many are aware the writer of Stree 2 is Niren Bhatt, who has written many other successful projects like Munjya, Inside Edge, Asur and Bhedia amongst others and he was also the writer of TMKOC at one point.
Niren Bhatt was the writer of the popular sitcom, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah for 8 long years and he apparently wrote close to 1000 episodes. Not just that, Niren Bhatt has penned around 35 music albums and is well-known for his contributions to numerous Gujarati and Hindi films.

In one of his recent interviews, Niren revealed that at one point, he began to realize that, being a creative person, he wouldn’t be able to thrive in the corporate world. He felt it wasn’t the right fit for him. Recognizing that he needed to make a change, he started writing alongside his job, given the difficulties of surviving in Bombay. He wrote plays, commercial theater pieces, television scripts, and films, many of which never came to fruition. He mentioned that he was constantly seeking something that would allow him to leave his corporate job and pursue writing full-time.
