And it’s surely a happy Monday for all Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fans! One of the most loved characters of the show, Dayaben has finally returned to the sets. Disha Vakani’s iconic character had been missing from the show for over six years now. Disha, who used to play the role of Daya Jethalal Gada in Asit Kumar Modi’s sitcom, went on indefinite maternity leave in 2017 and since then she has not returned to the show.

A photo from the show sets has gone viral now.

Earlier this year, on the occasion of completing 15 years of successfully entertaining viewers, producer Asit Modi made a big announcement that he would be soon bringing back fans’ favourite Disha Vakani aka Dayaben. He said, “In this journey of 15 years, a hearty congratulations to all of them. One such artist is whom we cannot forget. That artist isDaya Bhabhi aka Disha Vakani. She has entertained the fans and also made us laugh for all these years. Fans have been waiting for her to come back and I promise you all that Disha Vakani will soon be back to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.”

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been running successfully for almost 15 years now. In these years, several actors have made exit from the show including Disha Vakani, Bhavya Gandhi, Shailesh Lodha and Neha Mehta among others. Recently, Raj Anadkat, who used to play the role of Tappu in the popular sitcom, also left the show.

In March this year, Asit Kumar Modi had addressed the back-to-back exits of many actors from his show. “I am also tired of answering and requesting people not to ask this question. But I am the producer of the show and therefore I’ll have to answer. Even today I wish that our original Daya Bhabhi aka Disha Vakani comes back. Disha is like my sister. She wants to spend time with her family. She has two kids. If she does not want to come back, I cannot force her,” he told News18 Showsha.
