Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), one of India‘s most popular TV shows, has been entertaining audiences for years. However, fans have been missing one of the most beloved characters—Dayaben! Ever since actress Disha Vakani left the show, the makers have been searching for a replacement. Now, it looks like they may have finally found a new Dayaben!
Will Disha Vakani Return to TMKOC?
Disha Vakani played Dayaben for several years and became a fan favorite with her iconic dialogue delivery and comic timing. However, after going on maternity leave in 2017, she never returned to the show. Despite several discussions and rumors of her comeback, the makers of TMKOC have now confirmed that Disha will not be returning. This means fans will soon see a fresh face playing Dayaben.
Who Is the New Dayaben?
According to recent reports, TMKOC’s producers have been auditioning several actresses for the role of Dayaben. One audition, in particular, has impressed them a lot. As per a report from News18, the selected actress has already started mock shoots with the team, and she has been working with them for over a week. This strongly indicates that the show may introduce the new Dayaben very soon.
Kajal Pisal’s name is currently going viral as a potential replacement for Disha Vakani. Several photos of Kajal dressed as Dayaben have surfaced on social media, leading fans to believe that she might be the final choice. However, no official confirmation has been made by the TMKOC team yet.

Why Did the Makers Delay Casting a New Dayaben?
For a long time, the makers of TMKOC were hopeful that Disha Vakani would return. However, after years of uncertainty, they realized that they needed to bring a new actress to keep the character alive. Showrunner Asit Kumar Modi had previously mentioned that they would have to move forward with a new Dayaben if Disha did not return.
Seven Years Since Dayaben’s Exit
Disha Vakani last appeared on TMKOC in 2017. Since then, viewers have been waiting to see her return. The makers faced immense pressure from fans to either bring back Disha or introduce a new actress for the role. Now, after seven years, it seems like they have finally made a decision.
Other TMKOC Characters Getting a Revamp
