New Delhi: Sony SAB’s ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ has been entertaining the viewers since the past ten-and-a-half years now. The popular sitcom enjoys a significant fan following and continues to feature in the list of top ten shows. The characters of the show be it Jethalal or Dayaben are quite popular among the fans. Fans have been missing their favourite Dayaben aka Disha Vakani and they have even requested the makers to bring her back on TMKOC.

The actress is currently on a maternity break and there’s no news about her return. Speculations were rife that the makers of ‘Taarak Mehta’ might replace Disha. As per the latest buzz, Disha Vakani will be given a 30-day ultimatum by the show’s producer Asit Modi. Yes, you read that right.

A report in an entertainment portal has suggested that Asit Modi will give Disha a concession period of one month. If she doesn’t return, she will get replaced by another actress.

‘’Bas, ab ho gaya. Modi waited ethically how much he and his cast-crew could. Now, Modi says he will just give a concession period of a month, starting today. There has been absolutely no contact between the two parties ever since Dayaben's last day at shoot. Team Taarak Mehta  Ka Ooltah Chashmah  has no problems if she wants to look after her baby but some of her demands that they would imply if she was to return, were just not easy to accept when her husband last has a word with us," a source told SpotboyE.

The source further told the portal, "Seems, Disha wanted to hanker for a bit of publicity in the media. So, she put a some throwback video. Toh dekhte hain kya hota hai. We will still welcome her warmly if she returns without unacceptable do's and don'ts. Else we are going ahead with another actress after 30 days, max 35."


According to a report in the portal, Disha’s husband Mayur Padia wanted a 100 per cent hike in her fees and he demanded that she shoot for only four hours a day and that too for 15 days. The names of Gia Manek, Rashami Desai and Deepika Singh were floating in the media as Disha’s replacement. However, the makers didn’t confirm the news.
