Celebrating its 15th anniversary, the beloved show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been a constant source of joy for audiences on Sony SAB. However, the conspicuous absence of Dayaben, portrayed by Disha Vakani, has left fans yearning. Despite ongoing auditions and persistent speculations, Asit Modi, the show’s creator, recently provided a significant update, announcing the imminent return of the cherished character, Dayaben.
Disha Vakani, who took indefinite maternity leave in 2017, has not reprised her role as Daya Jethalal Gada since then. The show’s loyal followers eagerly await Daya Bhabhi’s comeback, with speculation rife about whether a new actress will step into Disha Vakani’s shoes. The hashtag ‘Boycott TMKOC’ gained momentum on social media, raising questions about the show’s future.
While rumors circulated that the show might conclude after its remarkable 15-year run, Asit Kumarr Modi, the creator, has now addressed the ongoing controversy. According to TellyChakkar’s reports, he emphasized his commitment to entertaining the audience while maintaining transparency. Challenges have surfaced in promptly reintroducing Daya’s character due to specific circumstances, but Modi clarifies that this should not be misconstrued as a permanent absence. Whether embodied by Disha Vakani or another artist, only time will reveal the answer. Modi assures the audience that Daya will make a comeback, and the enduring journey of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah will persist. Managing a comedy show for fifteen years is no small feat, marking it as a unique production untouched by any temporal leaps.
