Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is back in news. After much wait, the makers are gearing up for the grand re-entry of Dayaben and fans cannot keep calm. While the character is all set to return, there was no clarity on whether Disha Vakani will be ending her sabbatical.

He further added, "After getting married, Disha did work for some time. She then took a break and had a baby and continued her break to raise her child. She never quit the show. Humko umeed thi ki Disha will return. But then the pandemic struck. There were too many restrictions on shooting during that time. Even though we were taking all the necessary precautions, Disha said she was scared to return to shooting."

In the month of May, Disha welcomed her second child, a baby boy. In 2017, the actress had her baby girl named Stuti.
