Asit Modi Clarifies They’re Not Delaying Dayaben’s Return Purposely

Taarak
Mehta
Ka
Ooltah
Chashmah
has
been
in
the
news
since
a
long
time
now
for
the
actors’
exit
and
new
entries.
Shailesh
Lodha
exited
the
show
and
recently,
the
makers
introduced
Sachin
Shroff
as
new
Taaran
Mehta.
However,
Disha
Vakani,
who
played
the
role
of
Dayaben
has
been
missing
from
the
show
for
a
few
years
now,
and
still
there
is
no
confirmation
if
the
makers
are
bringing
her
back
or
replacing
her.
There
have
been
several
reports
about
the
same
and
some
reports
also
suggested
that
all
is
not
well
between
producer
Asit
Modi
and
Disha.

However,
recently
Asit
Modi
clarified
about
the
same
and
said
that
there
is
no
bad
blood
between
him
and
Disha.
He
also
clarified
that
they’re
not
delaying
Dayaben’s
return
purposely.

Talking
about
Disha
Vakani,
Asit
was
quoted
by
Times
Of
India
as
saying,
“I
understand
there
are
few
changes
that
need
to
be
made
as
far
as
the
show
is
concerned.
Daya
Bhabhi
has
been
one
character
which
the
audience
has
not
been
able
to
forget.
The
character
has
been
missing
from
the
show
since
the
last
4-5
years,
but
they
still
miss
her
on
the
show
and
want
her
back.”

He
said
that
they
also
have
to
understand
that
Disha
Vakani,
has
new
responsibilities
and
he
respects
her
a
lot.
He
added
that
during
COVID
times
he
waited
for
her
to
return
and
he
is
still
waiting
and
praying
that
God
does
some
miracle
and
she
returns
to
the
show,
but
now
she
is
married,
has
two
kids
and
has
her
family’s
responsibilities
on
her
shoulders,
and
she
is
focusing
on
her
personal
life
at
present.
Asit
said
that
like
audience,
even
he
wants
to
see
her
back
on
the
show,
but
if
she
doesn’t
return,
he
promised
that
audience
will
get
a
new
Daya
Bhabhi.
He
added
that
if
they
need
to
make
changes,
they
will
do
it
and
bring
new
characters
as
well
because
the
show
has
been
running
for
the
last
15
years,
so
change
is
inevitable.

He
clarified
that
he
still
has
family
relations
with
Disha
Vakani
and
there
is
absolutely
no
bad
blood
between
them.

He
said,
“Disha
Vakani
has
lived
the
character,
just
think
about
her.
We
don’t
have
any
grudges
against
each
other
or
bad
blood.
We
have
family
relations
with
each
other
and
her
family.
I
think
even
she
must
be
wanting
to
return
to
the
character
which
she
has
developed.
But
after
marriage
and
baby
sometimes
priorities
change
for
people.
She
is
doing
what
she
loves
to
do.
If
she
is
willing
to
come
we
will
be
more
than
happy,
but
if
she
doesn’t
return
we
will
cast
someone
else.
We
will
bring
a
new
Daya
Bhabhi.”

He
also
clarified
that
they
are
not
purposely
delaying
Popatlal’s
wedding
and
Disha’s
return.
He
said
that
people
keep
writing
to
them
to
do
changes
and
bring
back
characters,
but
it
is
a
daily
show
and
they
need
to
focus
on
stories
as
well.
He
added
that
everything
takes
time
because
casting
the
right
actor
plays
an
important
role.

Asit
concluded
by
saying,
“We
are
not
delaying
it
purposely,
we
need
to
find
people
who
can
give
commitment
to
us.
It
shouldn’t
happen
that
we
cast
someone
and
then
he
or
she
is
not
able
to
live
up
to
the
expectations.
Such
important
changes
require
a
lot
of
planning
and
execution.”
