Actor Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal has said that the team of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah begged Disha Vakani, who played Dayaben in the show, to return, but she refused. Jennifer also revealed to Pinkvilla that she pleaded with the show throughout her pregnancy in 2013 to return.

Jennifer was four and a half months pregnant when she asked the show's producer, Asit Modi, not to fire her from the show. However, Asit remained insistent about removing her. She portrayed Roshan Daruwala Kaur Sodhi, the wife of Roshan Singh Sodhi (then played by Gurucharan Singh).

When Jennifer begged to come back during her pregnancy

Jennifer revealed, "Main haath pair jod rahi thi meri pregnancy ke time ki mujhe vaapis aana hai. Aur yeh log Disha ke samne haath pair jod rahe the. Inhone itne time tak uske haath pair jode hai. Disha ki delivery ke baad, sab kuch ke baad, itne haath pair jode hai, voh nahi aayi toh nahi aayi (I was begging during my pregnancy that I want to return. The makers were begging Disha to return. They pleaded her to return after her delivery, but she didn't)."
