Is Disha Vakani being replaced in 'TMKOC'? Here's the truth
Disha Vakani's rumored exit from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has come as a shock to everyone. The actress plays the role of Dayaben in Sab TV's popular sitcom. It was reported that Disha was no longer a part of the show and would be replaced soon. However, the reports turned out to be mere rumors. Here are the details.
Of late, there have been several reports suggesting that Disha would either be replaced or her character's arc would end. However, producer Asit Kumar Modi dismissed the reports and said, "Contract has not been closed. The character of Daya bhabhi is still there and we haven't taken any actor to replace her. As and when she wants to come, we'll see at that time".
For the uninitiated, Disha took a maternity break from TMKOC in September 2017 and was expected to return after her daughter's birth. While the audience was eagerly waiting for her comeback, she, reportedly, extended her maternity break given her new responsibilities. Besides, her daughter needed extra care and the shooting conditions would have been tough for the new mommy.
The reports further suggested that Disha was willing to return but had certain conditions (including a fee hike) which came as a surprise for TMKOC makers. "Daya had laid some conditions with her timings and availability along with monetary concerns to makers, who in return said that they would love to have her back, but cannot comply with her conditions," a source told DNA.
Well, Asit's recent statement came as a relief for Disha's fans as it ignited the hope of the actress' comeback on TMKOC. Although makers aren't in a mood to give in to Disha's demands, they are still hoping to bring her back. We wonder if our favorite Dayaben will be back anytime soon on Taarak Mehta Ka Oooltah Chashmah to entertain all of us.
