While Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fans have been eagerly waiting for Disha Vakani aka Daya Ben to make a return to the show, there have been reports that the producers don’t see it happening anytime soon. Amidst this, the rumour mill has been abuzz with the word that Ye Hai Mohabbatein star Divyanka Tripathi had been offered the role of Daya Ben. The rumours went rife after Divyanka recently returned to the city after completing her shoot in Cape Town for the Rohit Shetty hosted Khatron Ke Khiladi 11.

According to a report by ETimes, a source said that Divyanka is not in any talks with Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah producer Asit Modi for Daya Ben’s role. The source denied the rumours and said that it will only confuse the fans more.

Further in an interview with ETimes, reacting to reports of being offered Daya Ben, Divyanka said, “That’s how rumours are, mostly baseless and non-factual.” Further, she was asked what would she do if the role was offered to her, “It’s a fabulous show with a great fan following but I don’t think I’ll be keen on doing it. I am looking for a fresh concept and new challenge.”

Disha Vakani has been MIA from TMKOC since 2017. She had taken an indefinite maternity leave and there has been no confirmation about her return ever since.
