Disha Vakani Viral Video: Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fans were recently surprised after an old video of Disha Vakani surfaced on social media, in which she was seen dancing her heart out. In the clip, the actress can be seen in a totally different avatar. She ditches her traditional saree look and is seen grooving in a shiny silver bikini top with matching short skirt. She opts for silver eye makeup and a ponytail and looks completely different. While the details of the video's origin are not known as of now, it is said to be from one of Disha Vakani's initial projects. Watch it here. 'Bapuji be like:- 'Are ye sb kya ho raha hai Jethiyaaaaa 😂😂😂'," one of the fans wrote. Another joked, '7vi fail to dancer nikli re😂." 'Esiliye daya ahmdavad jane ki jidd krtihe," a third comment read. However, several of Disha Vakani's fans also jumped into her defence. One of the users argued that 'this is how an outsider is treated" in the showbiz world. Another wrote, 'As a struggler, they have to do what work they get. Why judge them? Atleast she did her part of hard work and is not a nepo kid. Respect them. Whatever roles she got, she did it gracefully instead of begging or snatching it from Others." Disha Vakani used to play the iconic character of Dayaben in TMKOC. She went on an indefinite maternity leave in 2018 and has not returned ever since. The show's maker, Asit Kumarr Modi, has often confirmed that the hunt for a new Dayaben is underway. Just a few months ago, Asit Modi exclusively confirmed to News18 Showsha that Disha would not be returning to the popular sitcom. 'It is difficult for her now (to return to the show). For women, life changes after marriage. Working with small children and managing the house is really a bit difficult for them. But I am still positive. I feel somewhere that god will do a miracle and she will return. If she comes, then it will be a good thing. If for some reason she does not come, then I will have to bring another Dayaben for the show," the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah creator said. First Published:

Dayaben's garba style was improvised by Disha Vakani, reveals Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah creator
Dayaben became a household name ever since the release of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. As essayed by Disha Vakani, the character also had an iconic garba style, which was loved by the audience. In an interview with Screen, creator Asit Modi revealed that it was the improvisation of Disha that was added to the character. (Also read: Will Disha Vakani return as Dayaben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah? Here's what producer Asit Modi has to say) Talking about the moment the makers knew Disha was the right choice for the character, Asit said, 'Disha Vakani is a very fine actor. So when we explained the character to her, our brief was that she is a very innocent lady who looks after her husband, her father-in-law, and her world revolves around her son. Whenever she gets shocked, her reaction is always 'Hey Ma, Mataji!', it's a very common reaction amongst people in Gujarat. During her audition, we were all sitting together, and when she played the part, we all just loved it. The reference to Dayaben calling Jethalal from the balcony comes from my mother. Whenever my father would go to work, he would forget something, and my mother would run behind him, calling him. We bought that innocence in her character; she doing garba was added later.' 'During the first episode, we thought of adding garba in the episode when Bapuji snorted, his hip gets stiff, that is when we decided to try if we could use Garba to rectify his stiffness. That's how the craze for doing garba started. Daya Bhabhi's style of garba was her improvisation. While shooting, we all try to take what is written in the script to the next level,' he added. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been airing since July 28, 2008. Disha had quit the show a few years back, only to make a breif appearance in 2020. It was reported in 2022 that Disha got throat related issues because of Dayaben's unique voice on the show.

All the artistes were new, Dilip Joshi had some theater experience, and he has been very popular in Gujarati dramas. Due to the theater, he had good knowledge about improvisations. All others were quite new and had not done a show for such a long time, so during the casting, one criterion I had in mind was that they all needed to have that innocence.' Talking about Dayaben's return on the show, Asit Modi assured that the character will be back soon. He in the process of finalizing the new Dayaben, however, he expressed his wish for Disha Vakani only to return to play the iconic character.
