The show’s longevity and the remarkable performance of Disha Vakani as Daya Tappu Ke Papa Gada were something that the audiences valued. Nevertheless, she permanently departed from the program in June 2017 due to her maternity leave and never resumed. The producer of the show Asit Modi has frequently talked about the current talent hunt for the new Dayaben. “The viewers of the show have been eager to watch their lovely Dayaben return to the program,” Modi said to E-Times in an interview in August 2023 about the casting of the character: “It is not an easy task to cast the role and it will be a challenge for any actress to replace Disha.”
He confessed during the interview that quite frequently he gets a feeling of tiredness to respond to the queries regarding Dayaben’s comeback but at the same time he gets the responsibility to address the same issues of the fans. He also shared how much he misses the original Daya Bhabhi aka Disha Vakani, “Even today if there is one Daya bhabhi aka Disha Vakani we wish she comes back, Disha is like my sister, she wants to be with her kids, she has two kids, if she doesn’t want to come let’s not force her.”

The show has lost a few actors, like Raj Anadkat, Gurucharan Singh, Jennifer Mistry, and Kush Shah. Munmun’s thoughts highlight the close friendships among the cast and the lasting effect of those who have left the popular comedy series.
