Disha Vakani visits Lalbaugcha Raja, fans hopeful
The actress, who has been away from television since 2018, was spotted seeking blessings at the pandal. She wore a traditional pink saree and kept her face partially covered with a mask to avoid too much media attention. Despite her low-key presence, fans and paparazzi quickly recognized her, and videos of her visit soon went viral on social media.
Disha Vakani became a household name with her role as the lovable and quirky Dayaben, whose unique dialogue delivery and trademark “Garba” dance made her one of the most popular characters on Indian television. However, in 2018, she stepped away from the show for maternity leave and has not returned since.

According to him, balancing acting commitments with family responsibilities has been difficult for Disha. He said, “It is difficult for her now to return. For women, life changes after marriage. Working with small children and managing the house is really a bit difficult. But I am still hopeful. If she comes back, it will be wonderful. If not, we may have to find another Dayaben for the show.”
While her comeback remains uncertain, Disha Vakani’s short public appearance has once again stirred excitement among fans. Social media was flooded with comments from viewers expressing how much they miss seeing her as Dayaben. Many even requested the makers to wait for her rather than cast a replacement.
For now, whether or not Disha Vakani will return to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah remains unknown. But one thing is certain her character Dayaben continues to hold a special place in the hearts of millions of fans across India.
