Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fans, here's some really bad news for you! Daya Ben, one of the favourite characters from the show, played by Disha Vakani, has been missing from the screens for a long time as she went on maternity leave last year. The rumours of Disha has been making headlines every two months owing to her return to the show. However, according to the latest report in India Today, the actress, who was to make her return on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) in July last year, might quit the show altogether. Disha Vakanis’s Husband Is Not Happy About Her Decision to Return to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah?
Yes, you read that right. A report in BollywoodLife suggests that the actress is most likely to not return and producer Asit Modi's cryptic statement only adds fuel to the fire. In a statement to entertainment portal, Asit Modi said, "Can't say about the authenticity of that news. I don't know," further adding, "Maybe true. I don't know about the final decision. My team is talking with her."
SONY SAB TV’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been one of the most popular shows of the recent times and has always made its place in the BARC TRP list. However, ever since the exit of Disha Vakani's character Daya Ben, the ratings of the much-celebrated family drama have dropped.
Initial reports suggested that Disha had hiked her fees to mark her comeback in the show. Apparently, she was charging Rs 1.5 lakh per episode and had also put forth a condition that she will only work for 15 days in the 11 am to 6 pm shift. Recently, it was also reported that Disha's husband is not too keen on her returning to the show as he feels their baby is still very young and needs Disha around her all the time and so, it won't be advisable for her to start shooting when she's at such a tender age.
On the personal front, the actress, who got married to Mayur Pandya (a chartered accountant) on November 24, 2015, was blessed with a baby girl in November 2017. Reports indicate that the little bundle of joy arrived nearly two weeks before the delivery date, which was December 20 (2017). The actress had a grand baby shower at her residence in the city, while present at the event were Dilip Joshi, Samay Shah, Munmun Dutta and of course reel son Taapu aka Bhavya Gandhi.
