Overview

• Producer Asit Modi’s August 10 Instagram post featured Disha Vakani tying a rakhi during a visit to her home and described her as a sister beyond the screen, prompting fan enthusiasm for her Dayaben comeback.
• In an August 14 interview with Filmygyan, former TMKOC cast member Jennifer Mistry said footage shows Modi and his wife Neela at Vakani’s house and that the actress looked very uncomfortable and unsmiling.
• Mistry’s latest remarks have reignited earlier allegations she made about Modi’s inappropriate behaviour during a 2018 Singapore shoot, which contributed to her exit from the show in 2024.
• Despite the viral reunion and ongoing fan calls, TMKOC producers have begun auditions for Dayaben but have offered no official confirmation of Vakani’s return.
• Unsettled claims of unpaid dues to ex-cast members and an NCLT filing continue to put pressure on the show’s leadership to improve workplace transparency and resolve financial disputes.
