Disha Vakani rose to fame with her performance in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. The actress played the character of Dayaben in the show. Produced by Asit Kumarr Modi, TMKOC has been running successfully for 16 years. However, Dayaben's character has been missing from the sitcom for six years. In a recent interview with News18, Asit reacted to the possibility of Disha's returning to his show as Dayaben.
Will Disha Vakani return as Dayaben?
The Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah producer admitted that it is necessary to bring Dayaben's character back. However, it has been delayed for various reasons. "There were elections in 2024, there was IPL and then the World Cup matches, the rainy season. It gets delayed because of some reasons," he told the news publication.
He further revealed that Disha might not return as Dayaben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Although Asit is trying to bring her back, the producer feels Disha won't be able to return.
"I am still trying. I believe Disha Vakani can’t be back. She has two children. She is like my sister. Even today, we have a very close relationship with her family. My sister Disha Vakani has tied a Rakhi to me. Her father and brother are also a family to me," he added.
Why is it difficult for Disha Vakani to return?
Asit further mentioned that it's difficult for Disha to return to TMKOC as a woman's life changes after marriage. According to him, it is tough for women to work when they have small children and manage the house. "If she comes, then it will be a good thing. If for some reason she does not come, then I will have to bring another Dayaben for the show," shared Asit.
