New Dayaben Finalised For Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah; Shoots Kicks off Post Audition

It's been a long time since we've seen Dayaben on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, but it seems like the show is finally ready to move on. After Disha Vakani, who played the iconic character, went on maternity leave in 2018 and never returned, the search for a new Dayaben has been ongoing. Now, it looks like they've found someone who Asit Modi thinks will be a good fit for the role as per News18.

While the identity of the actress hasn't been revealed yet, we know that she's already been chosen and the team is even doing practice shoots with her. It'll be interesting to see who they've chosen and how fans react to the new Dayaben.

Yes, it is right. Asit ji had been looking for a new Dayaben, and recently, one of the auditions impressed him a lot. Mock shoots with the actress are underway. It’s been around a week that she has been here, shooting with us

Asit Modi confirmed earlier this year that Disha Vakani might not be returning to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. He explained that she's currently busy with her two children. It seems like she's prioritizing her family life right now. “I am still trying. I believe Disha Vakani can’t be back. She has two children. She is like my sister. Even today, we have a very close relationship with her family. My sister Disha Vakani has tied a Rakhi to me. Her father and brother are also family to me. You work together for 17 years, and it becomes your extended family," he said.

“It is difficult for her now (to return to the show). For women, life changes after marriage. Working with small children and managing the house is really a bit difficult for them. But I am still positive. I feel somewhere that God will do some miracle, and she will return. If she comes, then it will be a good thing. If for some reason she does not come, then I will have to bring another Dayaben for the show," the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah creator added.
