The decision has been made. And all you Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fans, get ready to cry loads of tears, for everyone’s favourite Disha Vakani aka Dayaben, is NOT returning to the show. And from the looks of it, the time-to-time glimpses of the actress will soon come to an end. For those who came late, here’s a short recap of all that transpired. Disha went on her maternity leave in October 2017 and gave birth to a baby girl on November 30, 2017. However, post her maternity break, Disha told the makers that she wanted more time to resume as she wanted to prioritize her baby girl, to which makers had agreed. Disha Vakani Aka Daya Ben of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Gets Tagged in Vulgar Posts, Actress Warns Fans

Later on, the lady laid down conditions for her return. She wanted a fee hike from Rs 1.25 lakhs per episode to Rs 1.50 lakhs, a shorter duration of the shift from 11 am to 6 pm and also shoot allocation of only 15 days per month. It was also reported that Disha’s husband Mayur’s interference was making it difficult for the makers to directly negotiate with Disha. However, while talks were going on, Disha shot at her house for a few close up shots which are being used in the show. Disha Vakanis’s Husband Is Not Happy About Her Decision to Return to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah?

However, a report in SpotboyE has now revealed that apart from the issues mentioned above, Disha’s chartered accountant husband Mayur was of the opinion that producer Asit Modi owed his wife some dues. “Lekin Mayur saab nahin mante. I think he is a CA and only he knows Maths. But those numbers are only his, not ours,” the report read. It also mentioned how Disha’s return will only take place when the terms are favouring both Asit Modi and Disha, “This kind of interference (Disha’s husband Mayur’s) is difficult to understand. Our show is going well, TRPs without Daya Ben have not been affected. Every other actor is working hard on his/her track and we are converging well. If Disha wants to return to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, we will have to see if her comeback will justify the show. Plus, it will have to be on terms and conditions agreeable to Disha and Modi both."

A few days back, when a leading portal had contacted producer Asit Modi, he gave out a very cryptic quote and revealed, “Can't say about the authenticity of that news. I don't know." On Disha's exit, he further added, "Maybe true. I don't know about the final decision. My team is talking with her."

Its been almost a year and a half since Disha has not been a part of the show full-time. And from the looks of it, her return will not be happening anytime soon, in fact, if things don’t fall into place for both parties, her return may not even happen. Will you miss seeing Disha in the show?
