We are open to Disha Vakani's return to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: the producer Asit Modi

There has been much speculation about the character of Dayaben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. The role had previously been played by Disha Vakani, who had taken a maternity break in 2017. Since then, she has not returned to the series, forcing manufacturers to find a replacement.

In fact, sources close to the sitcom told TimesOfIndia.com that Ami Trivedi's actress Papad Pol had been approached to replace Disha in the show. Even though Friend denied the news, speculation was numerous.

Friend told us, "No, I have not been contacted, but my friends have said I should take the role and that would suit the character." I was not offered the role, and no one tried to join me. "

However, the producer of the series, Asit Kumar Modi, turned around.

In his recent interview for a news channel, he said he was open to all sorts of possibilities. He hinted that there were chances that Disha Vakani would be back but also revealed that they were in discussion with many other popular artists.

The producer adds that he knows people are waiting for the character to come back to the small screen.

For the uninitiated, Disha Vakani was badociated with the Mayur-based Chartered Accountant Mayur Padia, in November 2015. They are now living their happiness with a new addition to the family: their little girl, born in September 2017.

The actress has been missing from the screen for over a year now.
