Disha Vakani NOT Returning To Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah? Asit Modi Breaks Silence
Asit Modi says Disha Vakani's return as Dayaben in TMKOC isn't easy despite fans' love. He stresses strong storytelling keeps the show going even without her. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been in the headlines for several different reasons, and every two months a new report surfaces about Asit Modi casting a new actress to fulfill Daya Ben's role in the sitcom. A few reports also claim that Disha Vakani might return to the show. Now, Asit Modi has reacted to the reports about whether Disha Vakani is returning to the show or not. In a recent interview, the producer told ETimes TV whether the actress can return to the show or not. He stated, '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," Asit continued. '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 added, while sharing that good storytelling manages to fill the void of a missing character. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been running successfully for 17 years now. However, over the years, several actors have left the show. Among them are Disha Vakani, Jheel Mehta, Bhavya Gandhi, Raj Anadkat, Palak Sindhwani, Gurucharan Singh Sodhi, and Neha Mehta — all of whom are no longer part of TMKOC. After leaving the show, several actors, including Shailesh Lodha and Jennifer Mistry, accused the makers of misbehaviour, non-payment of dues, and several other allegations. Nidhi Bhanushali, who also left the show after playing the role of Sonu for several years, reacted to the accusations of non-payment of money. Speaking to News18 Showsha, Nidhi said, 'Aisi kaunsi cheez hoti hai jo sirf acchi hai? Every coin has two sides. Everybody is trying to do their best. I really don't know what to say on this. I chose what I chose when I thought the time was right. And I have just moved on in life." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
