It’s been over one year, the fans of popular sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah have not seen the character of Dayaben in the show. According to the storyline, Daya (played by Disha Vakani) visited her hometown, Ahmedabad and has not returned to Gokuldham Society yet. And now we hear that the makers might replace her if the actress doesn’t give her final decision.
“I am still waiting for her (Disha Vakani) to return, but if she does not announce her decision in some time, I will have to replace her. I believe that no actor is bigger than the show and everyone has to work professionally towards making it a success,” producer Asit Modi said in a statement.

A few months ago, there were talks that Disha and the producer had a fall out due to irrevocable differences. However, Asit denied having any fallout with the actress. He said, “Disha has not been working with us for more than a year now. It’s natural for any mother to want to spend time with her child, but now that her daughter is one year old, we are hoping that Disha will return to the show. While my viewers are questioning the long absence of Dayaben, the ratings have not been affected. We have given her enough time to decide, too. Contrary to reports, there are no money issues, because my team is in touch with her and any matter can be solved, amicably.”
We also hear that the makers will introduce to new characters in the show by the end of March 2019.
