She continued, "During our make-up session also she would automatically move away for me, I had to never request her. She would sacrifice for others. There was a time when she was fond of photography and would make me her model. She would make me pose for her for hours and I used to request her to let me go (laughs). She would subtly crack a joke and everyone would burst into laughter and she would stand there with a poker face."
Mistry also shared a funny incident when Disha's phone number got leaked and she used to receive over 50 calls in a day. "She would attend all the anonymous calls and never ignored any of them. She would change her voice and speak in a manly voice, pretending to be her assistant. She would receive the call and tell everyone, 'hello kaun bol raha hai mam abhi shoot mein busy hai.' Disha patiently handled the entire thing. She is mind blowing and has a heart of gold. I used to keep telling her, 'Disha agar main 5% bhi teri tarah ho jaaun na main kahan pahuch jaaungi", Mistry said.
On the personal front, Disha tied the knot with chartered accountant Mayur Padia in Mumbai in 2016. The couple was blessed with a baby girl last year. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, which began its journey in 2008 is one of India's longest-running sitcoms. It airs from Monday to Friday on SAB TV.
