Jennifer said, ''She is 100% Daya. Ek bechari ladki ko toh malum hai ki 3 saal se uska audition le rahe hain. Delhi se usko bulate hain. The only thing is that she’s very young. I think she’s 28-29 years old, bohot age gap dikhega karke uska nahi hua''.
She also said that girl even did a mock shoot with the her, Dilip Joshi aka Jethalal and Tappu Sena.
In 2023, on the completion of 15 years of 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah', producer Asit Kumarr Modi expressed gratitude to Disha and also promised that she would be back on the show.
