Taraak Mehta Ka Ootlah Chashmah completed 15 years recently. To mark the occasion, the producer of the longest-running Indian sitcom, Asit Kumarr Modi announced that Disha Vakani who played the iconic character of Dayaben will return soon. This created a wave of happiness among TMKOC fans who have been eagerly requesting Disha to return to the show. But within two days of the announcement, it seems there has been a big change in this plan.
While earlier Asit Kumarr sounded very confident of Disha’s return as Dayaben, now it seems he is not so sure. Talking to a leading daily portal , the producer said that even though he very much wants Disha to be back on the show, however, he has already started auditioning for other actresses for that role.
Talking about the same, Asit Kumarr said that Disha Vakani is now a mother of two kids and her family is her priority. He said that casting someone for Daya’s character is not going to be easy as it is very difficult to step into the shoes of Disha Vakani and that they will need a brilliant performer.
Asitji said that he has a positive approach towards life and still is hoping that Disha Vakani might return but now he cannot wait and hence is auditioning other actresses for the role. Apart from that, the producer thinks that the marriage of Popatlal is going to be a big challenge for the team.
TMKOC is currently going through a rough phase, as many good actors left the show for various reasons. There have been allegations of misbehaviour from the producer and the other team members with the actors and this has marred the overall popularity of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.
Despite new actors playing many popular characters now, the show has managed to enter the top 5 in the TRP ranking and continues to be one of the most entertaining shows in India.
