It finally seems like the faint chance of Disha Vakani returning to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has died down. As we know, Disha who got to become a household name for her role of Dayaben in the popular and long-running show, took a break from acting in the year 2017 when she was in the family way. Later, after the birth of her girl child, Disha did not want to return as she wanted to concentrate on the kid’s upbringing. The pandemic did not do any better to the chances of her getting back. Now the big news of Disha delivering her second baby, has made news.

With this, the chances of her return have vanished. Recently the Producer of the show talked about it in a report on koimoi.com and we take reference from that story for our write up here.

During a conversation with ETimes, Producer of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Asit Kumarr Modi has now cleared the air claiming that a new Dayaben will make an entry to the show. When asked Disha Vakani taking a break 5 years ago, and why makers have finally decided to replace her, the producer said, “The reason why it took us so long to replace Disha is that after getting married, Disha did work for some time. She then took a break and had a baby and continued her break to raise her child. She never quit the show. Humko umeed thi ki Disha will return. But then there the pandemic struck. There were too many restrictions on shooting during that time. Even though we were taking all the necessary precautions, Disha said she was scared to return to shooting.”

“We decided to wait for her as she has a long association with the show and shares a good relationship with the entire team. We were always positive about her return. Even now, she has not put in her papers as it’s not required in her case. She is like family. She has had a second baby recently and now won’t be able to return to the show. The auditions are on in full swing to find a new Dayaben and we will finalize the actor soon. The audience will get to know more about the new character on the show. We will keep the viewers updated.”

Well, are you sad about this news? Do you want some other actress to play Dayaben?
