Disha Vakani's character of Dayaben in the hit sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah was widely loved by the audience. However, for the last six years, the actress has been missing from the show owing to some issues with salary and shoot timings. Now, reports suggest that she is making a comeback in the show.
Disha Vakani to return as Dayaben?
Recently a promo was released in which Sunderlal comes to Mumbai to meet Jethalal. On arriving at his house, he tells him that Dayaben will return during Diwali. On hearing this, he starts preparing for the return of Daya. The promo didn't reveal the face of Daya, leaving everyone sceptical if she is returning as Daya or if a new actor will be introduced for the role.
The promo has come after it was reported that the producer Asit Kumarr Modi auditioned around 200 to 300 actresses for the role of Dayaben.

Earlier this year in August, Asit chatted with IANS where he opened up about the return of Disha Vakani as the iconic Daya Ben. Asit said, "We were not committed that Disha Vakani will come. I keep myself positive and keep my fingers crossed. But I have not told anyone that she will come." He gave a positive answer to bring the character of Daya Ben back.

"We will definitely bring back Daya's character. The characters are different. Disha is the performer of that character, and she was having immense love from the audience. So to think positive is nothing bad," he added.
"Whatever may happen we don't know. If she is coming, it's good, because she is also busy with her two kids and family life. But we will bring Daya characters in the near future,” Asit added. The producer said that there is no bitterness be it financial or personal with Disha.

"She is busy with her family life, there is no other reason, any financial reason or any kind of reason. She is like my sister," added the producer, whose show holds the Guinness World Record for the longest-running Indian daily sitcom on television by episode count.
