Loyal fans have stayed connected to its beloved characters, making it a household staple for over a decade.

One question, however, continues to dominate fan conversations — will Disha Vakani return as Dayaben?

Addressing the much-speculated comeback, producer Asit Modi recently spoke to The Times of India, saying, “The viewers who constantly ask about Daya Bhabhi's comeback are absolutely right. Disha ji truly left a lasting impact. Even though it’s been eight years since she was last seen, her character still lives on in the hearts of the audience. Disha ji's role overpowered the character. Bringing her back isn’t simple, though, and it takes time and the right circumstances.”

There’s no denying that fans would be overjoyed to see Dayaben’s return to Gokuldham Society. For now, all eyes remain on the makers for any official update — and until then, her iconic laughter continues to echo in the hearts of millions.
