‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ to continue without Daya ben

Disha Vakani may not be returning as Daya ben to ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’.

According to a source, “Disha had laid some conditions with her timings and availability along with monetary concerns to makers, who in return said that they would love to have her back, but cannot comply with her conditions. Discussions went on and on for months, but now, the final outcome is that both parties have mutually decided to end their association”. DNA reported that Vakani had requested that her fee be increased to Rs. 1.5 lakh per episode and that her shooting schedule would be from 11am to 6pm.

The source also added, “It’s been almost a year Disha has been missing from the show. However, it hasn’t affected the TRP as such and so, the makers are also ok with the idea of not having her on the show.”, Spotboye reported.

However, actor/producer Asit Kumar Modi did not provide any clarification on the matter, saying that, “I don’t want to make any comment on this matter anymore”.

Vakani had left the show on maternity leave in October, 2017, and has not returned on screen since
