A post shared by Asit Kumarr Modi (@officialasitkumarrmodi)
Reacting to the video, a fan wrote, 'Missing her presence in new episodes and seeing her after a long time.' Another fan said, 'Daya bhabhi come soon sabhi ko aap intezaar hai.' A third fan wrote, 'She looks so sweet as always. Vapis ane ke liye bola ki nahi.. just tell her so many people miss her a lot.' Earlier in several interviews and events, Asit Modi has often called Disha Vakani his sister and expressed his sincere wish to have her back on the show.
During the 17-year celebration of the show also Asit Modi had said that it is very difficult to cast a new Dayaben because of the benchmark Disha has set. He had said, 'Of course, Dayaben not being there is a huge challenge. Disha set a benchmark for that character with the way she has performed. Finding someone like her is very difficult. I don't know what is God's will, but I hope to find someone soon and bring Dayaben back. I sincerely wish for Disha to return, but due to personal reasons, she cannot. I have been telling the audience time and again that we will bring Daya, but issues keep arising. Finding a good replacement is also tough because a very strong image of hers is etched in people's minds. But I shall soon overcome this challenge with your love and support.'
Disha Vakani had quit the show in 2017 when she was about to deliver her first child. After that, Disha went on to become a mother for the second time and has not returned to the show since.

While dropping the video, she captioned it with, 'Ek hazaron mein(with red heart emoticon), Couldn't have asked for better (with evil eye emoji).' Initially, the video was open for comments, but soon the two disabled it so that they could avoid any kind of trolling on the auspicious day. However, some Reddit users couldn't keep calm and reacted harshly to the same. One Reddit user wrote, 'Doesn't this happen in school days?' Another remarked, 'What's next? Sara Tendulkar tying rakhi to Shubman Gill?' A third one wrote, 'My cousin ties rakhi to her then-rakhi brother, now-husband.

When netizens started linking them romantically, both Zanai and Siraj had to re-share the picture on their Instagram story. Zanai had tagged Siraj and wrote, 'Mere Pyaar Bhaiya'. In return, the cricketer wrote, 'Meri behen ke jaisi koi behna nahin. Bina iske kahin bhi mujhe rehna nahin. Jaise hai chaand sitaaron mein, meri behna hai ek hazaaro mein.'
