Fans of the iconic sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah were recently taken aback when an old video of actress Disha Vakani began circulating on social media.
In the clip, the actress, beloved for her portrayal of the traditional and quirky Dayaben, appears in a bold and glamorous avatar far removed from her on-screen persona. Disha is seen dancing enthusiastically in a shimmering silver bikini top paired with a matching short skirt. Her look is completed with striking silver eye makeup and a ponytail, making her nearly unrecognizable to longtime viewers of the show.
Although the origins of the video remain unclear, it is speculated that it dates back to one of Disha Vakani’s early projects in the entertainment industry. Since resurfacing, the video has gone viral, with fans of TMKOC flooding the comments section with humorous and surprised reactions. Some quipped that “Dayaben has definitely outshone Babitaji,” while others shared GIFs of Dilip Joshi’s character Jethalal to express their shock and amusement.
The video has reignited nostalgia among viewers and highlighted the dynamic range of the actress, who remains one of Indian television’s most memorable faces.
