Disha Vakani Aka Daya Ben To Return On Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah?
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been one of the longest-running and most loved sitcoms in India. But ever since Disha Vakani, aka Daya Ben, left the show, fans have been waiting with bated breath for her to return. Now, producer Asit Modi opened up on the same.
In a recent interview, Modi broke silence on Disha Vakani`s return to the show. He also mentioned that the storyline, without her character, has also managed to work well and how the team focuses on storytelling.
In a recent conversation with ETimes TV, the producer of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah opened up about Daya Ben`s potential return on the show.
He said, "The viewers who constantly ask about Daya Bhabhi`s comeback are absolutely right. Disha ji truly left a lasting impact. Even though it`s been eight years since she was last seen, her character still lives on in the hearts of the audience."

"Disha ji`s role overpowered the character. Bringing her back isn`t simple, though, and it takes time and the right circumstances," he added.
Asit Modi further emphasisedthe importance of exceptional storytelling and how a character`s exit doesn`t impact the script whilst continuing to hold the audience`s attention.
"I focus primarily on storytelling. When the narrative is strong, viewers naturally become engrossed in the plot, and the absence of a character doesn`t stand out as much. This show has always been driven by its story. As long as we keep delivering engaging content, people stay connected whether or not certain characters are present," he shared.
For those who are unaware, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah continues to be one of the most watched shows with the highest TRP, grabbing the number one spot in the chart. The ghost aspect of the show has kept the viewers hooked. In the storyline, Dilip Joshi, aka Jethalal Gada, was missing.
Many were under the impression that the actor had quit the show due to a rift with the makers. However, Asit Modi denied the rumours and said Joshi was on a break due to `personal commitments`.
