Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah to go off-air? Producer Asit Kumarr Modi opens up on Dayaben's return

One of the longest-running sitcoms on Indian television, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been running for more than a decade now and fans totally love it. While the show revolves around the famous Gokuldham Society and its residents, the epic characters including the lead couple Jethalal and Dayaben aka Dilip Joshi and Disha Vakani are fan favourites.

Following Dayaben’s exit from the show, fans have been eagerly waiting for her return for several years now. One of the recent episodes also teased fans about the actress’ return to the show, however, makers ended up leaving everyone disappointed and angry.

Fans who were quite convinced about Dayaben’s return to the show were left fuming and lashed out at producer Asit Kumarr Modi. Apart from backlashes and angry reactions on social media, this also led to ‘Boycott TMKOC’ trending on social media with fans accusing Asit Modi of making false promises.

Amid this, a rumour also started making rounds that the show might go off-air after the constant slamming by fans. Clearing the air over it, the producer has finally shared his views, explaining that the show is not going off-air.
