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.
