The absence of Disha Vakani, who played the adorable and fun-loving character of Dayaben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah was felt by its loyal viewers. The actress was on a maternity leave and enjoying motherhood with her baby girl. There was an announcement made by producer Asit Modi confirming Disha Vakani's return to the show.

However, after this news, another report that is doing the rounds is Disha Vakani's stupendous fee hike. According to a report in DNA, Disha has agreed to make a comeback on the show only if the makers agree to her terms and conditions. Disha, who charged Rs 1.25 lakh per episode, has reportedly hiked her fee and will now be charging Rs 1.50 lakh per episode.
