Munmun Dutta aka (Babita Ji) recently reacted to Disha Vakani aka (Daya Gada) quitting Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Recently, the actress shared the fond memories she had with the latter. She stated that she misses Disha a lot since she has exited from the show. Recalling one such fond memory of the actress, Munmun said that Disha used to get calls from unknown numbers and then she used to change her voice to answer them. For the unversed, Disha left the show due to maternity break in 2017. The actress recalled the time she spent with Ghanshyam Nayak (Nattu Kaka) and Kavi Kumar Azad (Dr Hathi). Both Ghanshyam and Kavi passed away in 2021 and 2018 respectively. 

In an interview with ETimes, Munmun said “We always remember those who left us, even the ones who quit the show. I miss Disha a lot. Whenever we crack jokes, we recall, “Remember when Disha said this or that?” We have so many good memories together. Whenever Disha would get calls from unknown numbers, she would change her voice before answering them.” 

The actress recalled memories she had with Ghanshyam Nayak (Nattu Kaka) and Kavi Kumar Azad (Dr Hathi). She said, “I was recently discussing with my mother how we are going to celebrate 16 years of "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah." I told her how Kavi Kumar Azad ji used to bring a Paratha roll for us, and we loved the Sindhi Paratha his sister-in-law made. He would leave the tiffin in our room. Nattu Kaka (Ghanshyam Nayak) was one of the kindest souls. Azad ji and Ghanshyam Chacha were the nicest people I've ever known.” 

“I still have Nattu Kaka’s voice notes from before the lockdown. He was unwell, and I had sent him voice notes asking about his health. He was always very positive, saying, "Beti, I will be back very soon... I am fine because of your love." I really wish those people were still with us,” she added.

Other than Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Munmun also worked in Hum Sab Baraati, Holiday and Mumbai Express.
