Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Disha Vakani gets candid about her first pregnancy; says 'I was advised not to scream or yell during delivery'
Disha Vakani is best known for playing the iconic role of Daya Ben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC). Her comic timing, unique voice, and lively portrayal of Jethalal’s wife made her a fan favorite. In 2017, she took maternity leave and has not returned to the show since. Despite multiple rumors about her comeback, no official confirmation has been made. Fans continue to hope for her return, as her absence is deeply felt in the show.
Now the actress appeared on a devotional channel where she spoke about following Garbha sanskar during her pregnancy and the advice she received while she conceived her daughter Stuti. She shared, "During my first pregnancy, I was told that during delivery you face severe pain and I was really scared about it. I was doing a parenting course back then and someone advised me that during pregnancy I should scream or yell because that will scare the baby. That is when I started reciting the Gayatri mantra and I had delivered my little Stuti with a smiling face. All I did was keep reciting the mantra while I was taken to the labour room. This divine mantra has given me a lot of strength."
Disha has been away from the TV screens for a very long time now. There are often rumours of bringing her back, however, this year Producer Asit Modi shared that he has been trying for quite some time but Dayaben might not return. He said, It is very important to bring back Dayaben because I also miss her. Sometimes circumstances change in such a way that certain things happen and it gets delayed. Sometimes the story gets prolonged."
“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 a family to me. You worked together for 17 years, and it became your extended family," he added.
He further shared, "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."
