Asit Modi also shared how Dayaben’s iconic Garba style came into being, “During the first episode, we thought of adding garba in the episode when Bapuji snorted, his hip gets stiff, that is when we decided to try if we could use Garba to rectify his stiffness. That’s how the craze for doing garba started. Daya Bhabhi’s style of garba was her improvisation. While shooting, we all try to take what is written in the script to the next level.”

He also spoke about other actors and said, “Initially, all the characters used to have lots of workshops because I wanted it to look like a real society. All the artistes were new, Dilip Joshi had some theater experience, and he has been very popular in Gujarati dramas. Due to the theater, he had good knowledge about improvisations. All others were quite new and had not done a show for such a long time, so during the casting, one criterion I had in mind was that they all needed to have that innocence.”

Talking about Dayaben’s return on the show, Asit Modi assured that the character will be back soon. He in the process of finalizing the new Dayaben, however, he expressed his wish for Disha Vakani only to return to play the iconic character.
