For those who are unaware, Disha tied the knot with a Mumbai-based chartered accountant Mayur Pandya on November 24, 2015, and the duo welcomed their first daughter Stuti on November 27, 2017. However, Disha has refused to return to the show in order to take care of her baby girl and its been 3 years that fans of the actress have been awaiting her return.
Despite this turn of events, loyal fans of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah remain faithful to the show and its viewership has not seen any steady decline. But fans of Disha do make it clear from time to time on social media that the lady is being immensely missed on the show.
