Since being shared, the post has amassed more than 7 lakh views, over 22,000 likes and tons of comments.

"Same story here too. #GharGharKiKahani Also those were the days when we had to rotate the antenna a bit (a lot) to ensure seamless picture quality. Needless to mention, I was quite an expert at that," wrote one user.

"Best part was going on the terrace to move the direction of the Antenna. Fitness in a smart way without Smart Watches," wrote another user.

'True sir, but also the dash towards the TV to reach first amongst siblings involved some degree of hazard, you will agree :)," wrote a third.

"Used to be a very loving article at home. Created immense bonding amongst neighbours through Weekly Songs/Movie. Hard but worth remembering days," wrote a fourth.
