There has been a debate for quite some time whether Dayaben aka Disha Vakani will return to 'Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma Show' or not. The producer of the show, Asit Modi, has spoken about this issue in a recent interview. He said that he wants Disha to return to the show. However, that is difficult to do now. Asit Modi also said that auditions are going on for the role of Dayaben. If an actress is finalised, they will welcome her.
Disha Vakani went on maternity leave in September 2017. She has not returned to the show since then.
'It is very necessary to bring Dayaben back to the show' Talking to News18, Asit Modi said – It is very important to bring Dayaben back, because I miss him too. Sometimes circumstances happen that some things get delayed. Sometimes the story gets long. Sometimes some big events happen. There were elections in 2024, IPL and then World Cup matches, rainy season. It gets delayed due to some reasons.
'I think Disha will not return to the show' The producer continued – I'm still trying. Although I think Disha Vakani will not return to the show. They have two children. She is like my sister. Even today we have a very close relationship with his family. My sister Disha Vakani tied a rakhi to me. His father and brother are also family to me.
'It's better if Disha comes back, otherwise another mercy will have to be brought' Asit Modi said – now it is difficult for him to return to the show. Life of women changes after marriage. Working with small children and managing a household is a bit difficult. But I am still positive. Somewhere I think God will do a miracle and he will come back. If it comes, it will be a good thing. If for some reason he doesn't come, I have to bring another Dayaben for the show.
'Now I will be mercy' When Asit Modi was once asked about Dayabhabhi earlier, he said, I feel that now I will become Dayaben. The question has been asked for the past several years as to when he will return. We are still waiting for them. If he talks about leaving the show, we will bring new Dayaben. In this way, he had talked about bringing in a new Dayabhabhi before.
