Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Dayaben aka Disha Vakani parted ways from the show a few years ago and since then people are speculating the time when she will be making a comeback to the show. Recently, there were reports that the makers were trying to bring Disha back on the show but it got delayed due to COVID-19 situation. And now the show’s director Malav Rajda has opened up about Disha’s return to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.
One of the show’s ardent fans recently requested the makers to bring Disha back on the show. “Yes plz request disha ji to come back,” the user commented. Some even asked the show’s director to replace Disha with new Dayaben. “Plz new daya ko lay aawo sir…itna wait ke ke bhi koi fayda hoga kay aap hi socho…bichare fans kabse wait kr rahe h daya ke liye,” the user said to a leading entertainment portal.
Responding to the fans’ frequent requests, Malav Rajda said that there’s nothing he can do to retain or replace any actor on the show as his primary work is to just direct the show. “Mein zyada bolunga toh naya director le aayenge…it’s not in my hands at all. I just direct the show….can’t take decision regarding actors n lot of other things but jo hota hai ache ke liye hota hai,” he replied to the Instagram user.
Earlier reports had suggested that Disha might not be returning to the show until a vaccine for Covid-19 is introduced. This is also because she has a toddler and wouldn’t want to take any risk given the current situation.
However, a picture of Disha posing with Dilip Joshi, Munmun Dutta and producer Amit Kumarr Modi had sparked talks of her return. In the picture shared by one of Disha Vakani’s fan pages on Instagram, the actress can be seen posing for a selfie alongside her former co-stars Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta who play the roles of Jethalal and Babita on the show. Disha looked etheral in a saree with a minimal jewelry while Dilip wore a kurta pyjama and jacket combo.
