New Delhi: Fans of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) are in disbelief when a video of Disha Vakani, the legendary Daya Jethalal Gada, also known as Dayaben, became viral. Unlike her typical saree appearance on the television comedy series, Disha dances in this clip in a shimmery silver bikini top and matching short skirt.

With a sleek ponytail and silver eye makeup, Disha Vakani ditches her customary look for a bright, glitzy vibe in the viral video, where she is seen dancing energetically.

The video is said to be from one of her early works prior to her TMKOC fame, while its exact origins are unknown.

Fans are both surprised and fascinated by how the innocent Dayaben has changed into this stylish, dance-ready image.

Some fans made jokes about the show's famous characters, saying, "Bapuji be like: 'Are ye sb kya ho raha hai Jethiyaaaa'." "Jbhi jethalal kbhi ahmdabad jaane nahi deta," another one jokingly said.

One fan also joked, “Jethalal will definitely forget Babitaji after watching this,” making others laugh.

Amid the jokes and memes, several fans defended Disha, bringing attention to the difficulties encountered by outsiders in the entertainment sector. “This is how an outsider is treated,” wrote one user. Another added, “As a struggler, they have to do what work they get. Why judge them? At least she did her part of hard work and is not a nepo kid. Respect them."
