While his efforts to recast Disha Vakani as Dayaben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah have yet to bear fruit, producer Asit Kumarr Modi has a personal connection with the actress that extends far beyond the set. Their friendship, which is based on mutual trust and respect, exemplifies the type of relationships that can develop inside the family of a long-running show.

Asit, together with his wife Neela Modi, celebrated Raksha Bandhan with Disha Vakani and her family, which included two small kids. The event was traditional but intimate, with customs, talks, and shared memories. It provided a rare insight into their off-screen relationship, which has remained strong despite Disha's absence from the show in recent years.    


Asit shared a heartfelt video



On Sunday, Asit Modi took to Instagram to share a video of his Raksha Bandhan celebration with Disha Vakani. The footage showed Disha tying a rakhi around Asit and his wife. She was also spotted attempting to touch Asit's feet, but he stopped her and touched hers in return. The video also included a rare peek at Disha with her family and daughter.

Sharing the video, Asit penned a heartfelt note in Hindi, which translates to: “Some relationships make destiny... Not blood, it is a relation of the heart! #dishavakani Not just our ‘Daya Bhabhi’, but my sister. For years, sharing laughter, memories and affinity, this relationship has gone far beyond the screen. On this Rakhi, the same unbreakable trust and the same deep affinity were felt again... May this bond always remain with its sweetness and strength.”  

Fans want Asit to bring back Disha 

Fans were ecstatic to see Disha Vakani reunited with Asit Modi, and many urged the producer to persuade her to return to the show. One of the comments said, "Very nice." It's great to see her after such a long time. Another remarked, "She looks as sweet as ever. Did you beg her to return or not? Just tell her that so many people miss her. A third admirer remarked, "Asit, sir, this is not a joke. Please ask your sister to come back to the show. "We all miss Daya Ben, her garba, and a few comedy tadka." Another pleaded, "Please, Daya Bhabhi; the show is incomplete without you. "Please return to the show."

Disha Vakani won hearts and became a household name for her portrayal as Dayaben in the classic sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. However, she took maternity leave in September 2017 and did not return. Since then, her followers have been urging a comeback. Asit Modi recently stated that the character would be returning to the program and that auditions for the part were now underway.
