MUMBAI: Seems like Disha Vakani, who became a household name after her portrayal of Daya Jethalal Gada in the popular daily sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah will soon be back on the show after a long hiatus. 

Disha quit Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah in 2018 post her delivery. However, she did make a cameo appearance in October 2019, but her full-fledged return on the show is what the audiences have been eagerly waiting for. 

Recently, there were reports that the makers were trying to get the actress on-board the show but things got delayed due to the COVID-19 situation.

However, a recent photo of Disha with Jethalal aka Dilip Joshi, Babita aka Munmun Dutta and show's producer Asit Kumarr Modi that is doing the rounds on the internet has sparked talks of her return. 

In the picture, shared by one of Disha Vakani's fan pages on Instagram, the actress can be seen posing for a selfie alongside her former co-stars Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta.

Disha is seen smiling for the click dressed in a saree while Dilip is seen sporting a kurta- pyjama set teamed with a Nehru jacket. Munmun is seen looking lovely dressed in a printed dress standing behind Asit who is also all-smiles for the capture. 

As per earlier reports in the media, it was being said that Disha might not be returning to the show until a vaccine for COVID is introduced given she has a toddler at home and wouldn't want to risk her child, family members or her own health at the moment.

Meanwhile, in a recent interview Bhavya Gandhi aka Tapu, who also quit the show years ago, revealed that he is still in touch with Disha. Bhavya said, "We definitely have these video calls sometimes and every time she sees me, she goes, 'Aahhh, whatt, beard?' (laughs) I say, yes, I've got a beard now. She has never seen me in a beard, so she gets shocked. I say, 'Haan, aave gaiyo' (Yes, they've grown) and I am growing them more."

For the unversed, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the longest-running Indian sitcoms.
