Asit Modi decides on New Daya, reports

After years of anticipation, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief, as producer Asit Modi has reportedly found a replacement for the beloved character of Daya Ben. This marks the end of a long wait since actress Disha Vakani, who portrayed the iconic role, exited the show several years ago.

Daya Ben, with her quirky catchphrases like 'Hey Baa Mataji', infectious laughter, and endearing personality, became one of the most memorable characters in the popular sitcom.

As per a report from Telly Masala, after several years of trying to find the right fit for the role, Modi has now found a new face to take on the role of Daya Ben, though the identity of the actress is still under wraps.

Disha Vakani's departure from the show in 2017 left a significant void, and fans have been eagerly speculating about who could fill her shoes. Despite rumours and multiple casting attempts over the years, none could quite match the charm and appeal that Vakani brought to the character.

Asit Modi, the producer of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has always been committed to maintaining the legacy of the show, which has remained a staple of Indian television since its inception in 2008.

The decision to introduce a new Daya Ben is expected to bring fresh energy to the show while keeping the essence of the character intact. Fans have been eagerly discussing the upcoming change, with mixed reactions to the idea of someone else playing the role that Disha Vakani so memorably brought to life.

While it remains to be seen how the new Daya Ben will be received, the show's loyal audience is excited about the return of the character, who is central to the comedy and heartwarming moments that the show is known for. With this new addition, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is all set to continue its long-standing success and entertain viewers for years to come.
