Jennifer Mistry On Daya Ben Being Replaced
A viral clip featuring former cast member Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal sheds light on an actress who came close to assuming the role of Daya. Jennifer disclosed, “She is 100% Daya. A poor girl knows that her audition has been ongoing for three years. She is summoned from Delhi. The only issue is that she is very young. I think she’s 28-29 years old, and they felt there would be a significant age gap.” Despite the actress’s suitability for the role, the casting decision ultimately favoured Disha Vakani’s distinct portrayal of Dayaben. Jennifer reminisced about a mock shoot involving the prospective replacement, emphasizing her uncanny resemblance to Disha.

Producer On Disha Vakani
Producer Asit Modi’s announcement last year about Disha Vakani’s impending return fueled hopes among fans. He expressed gratitude for Disha’s enduring contribution to the show’s success and assured viewers of her eventual comeback. However, he acknowledged the challenge of finding a suitable replacement, emphasizing the irreplaceable essence Disha brought to the character. While Asit Modi continues the search for the perfect Dayaben, the absence of both Disha Vakani and a replacement has left a void in the show’s ensemble cast. Several actors, including Bhavya Gandhi, Shailesh Lodha, and Neha Mehta, have exited the series in recent times. The departure of Raj Anadkat, who portrayed Tappu, further underscores the evolving dynamics within the show’s cast.
