Taarak Mehta’s Disha Vakani is playing a new role, unlikely to return as Dayaben, says brother Mayur: ‘She is doing it with full dedication’

Mayur then remembered their father’s advice – that even in life, they are actors. Whatever role given, one should do it sincerely. Both brother and sister still follow his teachings. Currently, he said Disha is playing the role of a mother in real life and performing it with full dedication. He truly believes this was always his sister’s life plan too.

Talking about meeting his sister Disha off-screen as a brother, Mayur shared that since childhood, the siblings learned one thing precisely, that wherever you are, whatever role you play, give your 100% commitment. He revealed that people often ask him, ‘When will Daya come? When will Disha return?’ When I meet my sister off-screen, I meet her as a brother. But when it comes to acting and showing love on-screen, he never crosses that line. He always maintains the decorum of both the relationships.

Mayur recalled her sister’s very first acting performance, and shared that she was just five years old at the time when Namdev Lahutte came to conduct a shibir (theatre camp), primarily for children aged 15-16. Disha performed brilliantly despite being so young. He added that she essayed the role of a 90-year-old woman who comes to get medicine and leaves only after getting it. She showcased her talent in the brief moment. Namdev Lahute and his father were both present there.

After watching her, Namdev ji said, ‘Your daughter will become a star one day’. Their father also always wanted her to act and it was his dream since her childhood. Mayur also revealed that they even had their own theatre group, where they worked together from an early age. That’s how they made their bond and chemistry in acting stronger day by day. And later on, both of them got the chance to be a part of such a big TV show.

The actor didn’t hesitate while praising his sister’s level of focus. He said that since childhood, they noticed how incredible her focus level was. When she is sitting outside, she looks calm and quiet, but the moment she gets on the stage or in front of the camera, it feels as if a divine energy takes over her. Her involvement is so deep that even I could never match the level of connectivity she brings in her performance.

During the candid chat, he also talked about Disha Vakani‘s focus, calling it ‘unmatched’ and how she gives her hundred percent. Their father always taught them that actions should be simple yet concrete, and she has followed the same. He said that she has been blessed with this gift and whenever she performs, the whole world fades away. Nothing else matters to her except the character she is playing.
