The beloved sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) has seen numerous changes over the years, with some of its most cherished members bidding farewell.

One such instance involves Shailesh Lodha, who played the titular character, giving marriage advice to Disha Vakani, known for her iconic role as Dayaben. Let’s take a trip down memory lane to 2015 when Disha tied the knot, and Shailesh’s witty words left everyone in splits.

In November 2015, Disha Vakani married Mumbai-based Chartered Accountant Mayur Padia. The wedding was a star-studded affair, with the entire TMKOC cast and crew in attendance. Notable attendees included Neha Mehta, Munmun Dutta, Dilip Joshi, Asit Kumarr Modi, Mandar Chandwadkar, Raj Anadkat, and Bhavya Gandhi. The event was a grand celebration, filled with joy and camaraderie, marking a significant moment in Disha’s life and for the TMKOC family. Little did anyone know that this would also be a prelude to Disha’s eventual departure from the show in 2017, leaving fans yearning for her return.
As the media gathered outside the wedding venue, several TMKOC actors interacted with journalists, sharing their best wishes for the newlyweds. Among them, Shailesh Lodha’s humorous advice for Disha stood out. In his signature witty style, he remarked, “Uski zindagi mein bohot kuch seedha ho gaya hai, isse behtar kya ho sakta hai?” (A lot has straightened out in her life, what could be better than this?). His light-hearted comment was a nod to the significant changes marriage brings, wrapped in his usual humorous flair.
Shailesh continued to praise Disha, highlighting her wonderful nature and how much she deserved happiness. He said, “Such a fabulous person Disha is, I know because I’ve worked with her. Bohot khush hai aaj, because she was very keen to get married, ultimately the d-day has come.” His words reflected not only his admiration for Disha but also the close bond they shared as co-stars.
When asked what message he had for Disha, Shailesh wished her a happy married life and expressed hope that she would continue entertaining audiences as Dayaben. Adding a touch of his humor, he quipped, “Apni neezi zindagi mein bohot khush rahe, prassan rahe aur waha ‘hey maa mataji!’ na kare.”. This was a playful reference to Disha’s famous catchphrase from the show, which has become an internet meme and remains etched in the hearts of TMKOC fans.
Disha’s character, Dayaben, was known for her unique voice, infectious laughter, and the iconic dialogue, “hey maa mataji!” Her performance brought joy to millions, making her departure in 2017 all the more significant. Disha left the show to go on maternity leave and, despite numerous rumors and negotiations, never returned. Reports suggested that disagreements over her fee demands became a major roadblock.
Shailesh Lodha, too, eventually exited TMKOC in April 2022. His departure was reportedly due to alleged inappropriate behavior by the show’s producer, Asit Kumarr Modi. Shailesh even took legal action against the team for non-payment of dues, adding to the show’s behind-the-scenes drama.
