Taarak Mehta director Malav Rajda reacts to a fan requesting to cast new Dayaben; says, ‘zyada bolunga toh naya director le aayenge’ – Times of India

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the longest running sitcoms on television. Its most loved character, Dayaben (played by Disha Vakani) has been missing from the screen since 2017. After Disha went on a maternity break, fans have been waiting for her to return to the show and are now even asking for her replacement.

Recently, commenting on a post of the show’s director, a fan wrote, “Plz new daya ko lay aawo sir…itna wait ke ke bhi koi fayda hoga kay aap hi socho…bichare fans kabse wait kr rahe h daya ke liye (Please get a new Daya…there’s no use of waiting for so long…helpless fans have been waiting for Daya).

To this Malav replied, “Mein zyada bolunga toh naya director le aayenge…it’s not in my hands at all. I just direct the show….can’t take decision regarding actors n lot of other things but jo hota hai ache ke liye hota hai (whatever happens, happens for the best).”

Post lockdown, the show’s slipped from the TRP charts with the entry of new shows. A section has also started criticizing the plot of the sitcom and shared they find it boring now.

A user also commented on Malav’s post, “No, your direction sucks bro the show is terrible now.” To this Malav Rajda politely replied, “Ok point noted.” Even though the user retracted his statement, there are many who give their feedback on a frequent basis to not just Malav but also its actors.
