Joshi revealed to ETimes that the actress has been away from the programme for the past five years. "Now, whether she will come back or not, only the production house knows and I would not like to get into it," the actor cited to the portal.
In the extremely famous sitcom, Joshi portrays Jethalal Champaklal Gada, and Vakani plays his wife Daya Jethalal Gada. Meanwhile, the actress has remained silent on the issue.
The popularity of the show is generally linked to its intimate ties to Indian culture, which it portrays via its plot and characters.
Vakani left the programme in 2017 to focus on her family after giving birth to a child. She earned several awards for her depiction of Daya Ben in the Sony SAB programme.
