Asit Modi recently told in an interview given to ‘Etimes’ that he is thinking of bringing back Dayaben. He said, ‘We have no reason not to bring back the character of Daya Ben. But we all have faced difficult times in recent times. 2020-21 was a very difficult period for all of us. But now things have changed for the better, at any good time in 2022 we are going to bring back the character of Daya Ben and the desire of the audience will get to see Jethalal and Daya Bhabhi witty once again.
Disha Wakani will be the new Dayaben!
When asked if Disha Vakani will return as Daya Ben, Asit said, “I don’t know yet whether Disha Vakani will return as Daya Ben or not. We still have a very good relationship with Disha ji. We are like a family. But now he is married and has a child and everyone gets busy with their respective responsibilities. We all have our own lives, so I won’t be able to talk about that. But whatever direction ben or nisha ben but you will definitely get mercy. We as a team will try our best to give the same fun that we gave you earlier.
The old mercy did not come back again in 2017
Daya Ben’s character has been missing from the show since Disha Vakani went on maternity break in 2017. She gave birth to a baby girl and did not return after that as she was busy with her responsibilities. Disha shot a special phone scene in October 2019. It will be interesting to see if Disha Vakani will return as Daya Ben or the audience will get to see a new face.
