It has the capability to glue its audiences to their television screen for decades after decades. And one of the most prominent characters in the television soap was 'Dayaben' which was played by Disha Vakani.

For the unversed, Disha Vakani had portrayed the character of 'Dayaben' for the first time back in 2008, and had been given unmissable performances for many years. However, in September 2017, she had bid a goodbye to the show for her maternity break, which had got extended into a gap of many years now. Though, according to various media reports, Disha is all set to be seen on the show after four years. However, there is no such sign of the actress making a comeback to TMKOC, making it hard and impossible for her fans to digest the news.
