Every year during Ganesh Chaturthi, Mumbai’s Lalbaug Cha Raja becomes the spiritual epicenter for millions of devotees. This year, the arrival of Disha Vakani, fondly remembered as Dayaben from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, created a wave of excitement among fans and devotees alike.
Spotted in a traditional saree, adorned with simple jewelry and a bindi, Disha Vakani was seen walking with her family as she made her way to seek blessings from Lord Ganesha. The actress kept her appearance understated, reflecting her off-screen simplicity, yet her presence was instantly recognized by fans who still hold her iconic character close to their hearts.
Videos from the visit quickly surfaced online, showing her warmly interacting with people around her while making her way toward the pandal. Many devotees were surprised and delighted to see her after a long public absence. Social media instantly lit up with posts and reels, highlighting her darshan at Lalbaug Cha Raja, with captions celebrating “Dayaben’s return.”

Disha Vakani, who stepped away from television to focus on her family life, has always maintained a low public profile. Her rare appearances in public therefore carry a special charm, reminding audiences of her unforgettable contribution to Indian television. For fans of TMKOC, her visit felt like a nostalgic reunion, sparking renewed chatter about her possible return to the show.
Ganesh Chaturthi has always been about devotion, family, and community, and Vakani’s quiet yet graceful visit resonated deeply with people. It wasn’t just about seeing a celebrity—it was about the cultural connection she represents. Dayaben’s on-screen persona, filled with devotion, innocence, and her famous “Garba” moves, made her one of the most loved characters in Indian television history.
