Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Finds New Dayaben Finally

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Makers Finalize Dayaben, Mock Shoots Begin After Successful Audition

One of the darling characters, Dayaben, is coming back after a very long time to the Indian sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC). According to the reports, the producer Asit Kumarr Modi has finalized a new actress for the role and mock shoots are currently underway. Fans have been waiting for this for a long time, with many speculations about the character’s return in recent years.

The Background of Dayaben’s Absence:

Disha Vakani, who played Dayaben in TMKOC, took maternity leave from September 2017 and did not return to the show thereafter. Dayaben’s popularity as a character with outstanding performances made her a name as well as an integral part of TMKOC. The absence of the character has left a gap, which has raised discussions and queries about the possible return of the character. Despite various negotiations, discussions, and statements by Modi to lure the character back, return efforts fell flat. Family commitments, including the birth of her second child in May 2022, also extended her break from the show.

Casting a New Dayaben

With Vakani being unavailable, the makers of the show scouted for a suitable replacement extensively. Reportedly, Modi has recently found an actress who impressed him during auditions. “Mock shoots with the actress are underway. It’s been about a week she’s been here shooting with us.” Such casting news is tantalizing because the identity of the actress is kept a secret.

Importance of Dayaben Character

Dayaben, with her well-known voice, comic timing, and traditional Garba dance, plays a significant role in TMKOC. Her encounter with her husband, Jethalal, and other residents of Gokuldham Society are the hallmark of the show’s humor as well as its charm. No wonder her reintroduction would breathe new life into the show and rekindle the nostalgia within audiences associated with her.

Fan Reactions and Expectations

The announcement of recasting Dayaben has given mixed reactions among the audience of the show. While many have expressed their happiness at the announcement of the character’s return, there are some who show concern that the new actress will not be able to match the spell cast by Vakani. On the other hand, the production team is expected to measure up to such expectations while incorporating new Dayaben into the previous narrative without any problems.

Returning Dayaben will be a moment to remember for Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fans. As mock shoots progress, intensive preparations commence work for the new actress stepping into the role, while all await her grand entry. Indeed, a tribute to the relevance of the show that has finally learned to cope with the new winds of change.
