One of India's most popular and longest-running sitcoms, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has been in the news recently regarding the return of the beloved character, Daya Bhabhi. Reports suggested that the production team had finalized a replacement for actress Disha Vakani, who originally played the role. Amidst these rumors, the show’s producer, Asit Kumarr Modi, spoke about the possibility of her return.
In an exclusive conversation with Times of India TV, Modi expressed how much Daya Bhabhi’s character is missed. He also revealed that his wife, Neela, is a big fan of Daya Bhabhi and frequently asks him about her comeback. "If the same Daya Bhabhi (Disha Vakani) returns, we will be very happy. My wife is a huge fan of her," he said.
Talking about the show's continued success, he shared, "It is a great feeling that even after 17 years and 4,500 episodes, the show is performing well. This is all because of the audience’s love and our team’s hard work. People watch it not just on TV but also on digital platforms and YouTube. We never focus on TRP alone; our goal is to create entertaining episodes that viewers enjoy."
Addressing Daya Bhabhi’s absence, Modi said, "The audience still loves and misses her. Even I want to see her back on the show. But Disha Vakani has personal responsibilities now. She is married, has two kids, and is focused on her family. We respect her decisions."
While fans continue to hope for Daya Bhabhi’s return, Modi’s statement makes it clear that the doors remain open for Disha Vakani whenever she is ready to reprise her iconic role.
