Recently, rumours went viral that Disha Vakani aka Dayaben from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has THROAT CANCER.
Naturally, the news left fans feeling extremely concerned. Articles also said she was suffering from the condition because of the ‘unique’ voice she uses for Dayaben.
However, Disha’s brother Mayur Vakani has nipped these rumours in the bud, and called them out as ‘FALSE NEWS’. Disha is apparently in the pink of health.
“Aise bahut saare afwaayein aate rehte hain ismein koi sacchayi nahi hai (these kind of rumours keep doing the rounds in the media and there is no truth to it). She is hale and hearty and nothing of this is true. Everyday we get to hear baseless rumours about her but fans should not believe any of these,” He said.
Additionally, her co-star Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal too rubbished the news.
She said, “I am in touch with Disha on and off and I don’t think this is true. Agar aisa kuch hota toh pata chalta. I spoke to her towards the end of August because we both stay in the same vicinity. We spoke about our daughter’s kathak classes, she sounded absolutely fine. I think these are just rumours.”
