CONFIRMED: Disha Vakani AKA Daya Ben might not return to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah

Disha Vakani aka Daya Ben of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah was entertaining the viewers with her impeccable comic timing for past many years. However, it was in the year 2017 when she took a maternity break after delivering a baby girl in November that year. Since then, Disha has been away from the show. While the show is doing pretty well in spite of Disha’s absence, but the die-hard fans of her are eagerly waiting for her comeback.

And now, there’s sad news for the fans as the actress has decided to quit the show and wants to focus on her personal life. Disha is no more willing to be a part of the serial. Well, it’s a major heartbreak for all the viewers and the fans of the actress. Earlier, with Disha being away from the show for more than a year, there were rumours that she won’t return back but now it’s confirmed.

There were also reports about Disha’s fallout with the show’s producer Asit Modi. However, he refuted all these rumours.


Asit quoted to Bombay Times, “Disha has not been working with us for over a year now. It’s natural for any mother to want to spend time with her child, but now that her daughter is a year old, we are hoping that Disha will return to the show. While my viewers are questioning the long absence of Dayaben, the ratings have not been affected. We have given her enough time to decide, too. Contrary to reports, there are no money issues, because my team is in touch with her and any matter can be solved, amicably. I am still waiting for her to return, but if she does not convey her decision in some time, I will have to replace her. I believe that no actor is bigger than the show and everyone has to work professionally towards making it a success.”

Well, it will be interesting to see who might step in Disha’s shoes.
