Apart from this, Disha has also been a part of films like Devdas and Mangal Pandey: The Rising. She also worked in ‘C Company’, while in her early career she was also seen in the 1997 film ‘Kamsin: The Untouched’.

In the year 2017, Disha took maternity leave and since then she did not return to the show. From then till now fans are waiting for his return. Show producer Asit Kumar Modi has spoken on this issue many times. In an interview given to E-Times, he said that the audience wants to see ‘Dayaben’ again, but it is not easy to find the right actor for this character.
At the same time, in an interview given to our associate website News 18, he said, ‘When Asit Modi was asked whether he was tired of the questions about Dayaben’s comeback, he admitted, ‘Yes, I am tired. But I am a producer, so it is my responsibility to answer. Even today I want our original Dayaben i.e. Disha Vakani to return. Disha is like my sister. She wants to spend time with her family, she has two children. If she doesn’t want to come back, I can’t force her. He also said that if Disha herself wants to come back, she would be most happy.
Disha Vakani gave birth to two children and gave priority to family life. She is also not active on social media. Fans still miss her ‘Hey Maa, Mataji’ style. At present, the producers are hopeful of his comeback, but the signs are not very positive.
