Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashmah” Auditions have already started for new Dayaben
Dayaben aka Disha Vakani has been the talk of the town ever since the actress took a maternity leave from the show. News of Disha’s return has been doing rounds for quite some time but producer Asit Modi has said in a statement that he would not going to wait for her forever. In conversation with Bombay Times, he confirmed that they have already started looking for a replacement and a new Dayaben for the show. He said, “I will have to start looking for a new Dayaben. No one is bigger than the show. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah will go on with a new face, because the family is incomplete without Dayaben.”
He further added, “So many working women in the country get pregnant, go on a maternity break, have babies and resume their jobs. Today, women continue to work even after having babies. We have given Disha leave, but we cannot wait forever. Having said that, replacing an actress is not an overnight process. The track has to be planned months in advance. Right now, we have started the initial process of auditioning for the character. We are still not sure what will happen in the future, but I would like to reiterate that the show must go on.”
Earlier, in an interview Asit had said, “We have been very cooperative from the beginning. Since her daughter’s birth, we have been waiting patiently, giving her space as a new mother. But eventually, a show has to go on.”
Well, looks like all TMKOC fans need to be prepared for an all new Dayaben on the show.
