After the end of Sanjivani: A Medical Boon , Siddharth P. Malhotra decided to make Dill Mill Gayye as a sequel of the show. The actor Mohnish Bahl reprised his role of Dr. Shashank from Sanjivani and was the only common link between the shows. [30] [31]
It was not supposed to be a long running show. The initial plan was to wrap up within a couple of episodes, but due to positive response from audience within three weeks, the creative team decided to extend it. [32]
In an interview with Times of India, Pankit Thakker talked about three actresses playing the role of Dr. Riddhima Gupta and stated that:
All of them had different personalities. Shilpa was the first Riddhima and our bond together was very strong. Then came Sukirti and Dr. Riddhima’s went through certain changes. Actually, their on-screen characters were written as per their personalities. All the characters were sketched like that. [18]
Earlier, Haroon Qazi was cast as Dr. Armaan but due to creative differences he was replaced with Karan Singh Grover. [33] [32] Karan Singh Grover and Shilpa Anand played the main characters Dr. Armaan and Dr. Riddhima. [34]
Anand initially audition edfor the role of Dr. Anjali Gupta, but the casting team selected her to play the lead, Dr. Riddhima Gupta. Later, Sunaina Gulia was cast for in the role of Dr. Anjali. [32] [35] Pankit Thakker was originally paired up with Muskaan Mihani. [36] But he believed his chemistry with Muskaan was mostly coming out friendly. Hence, he discussed with the creative directors if they could change the track so they'd paired him up with Sunaina. [18]
In May 2008, Anand quit the show due to differences between the production house and to pursue a career in Bollywood. [33] [37] She was replaced by Sukirti Kandpal, who had given audition for the role of Dr. Riddhima in 2007 but originally was rejected by the casting team. [38] Later in April 2009, Kandpal also quit the show [39] and was replaced by Jennifer Winget. [14]
In June 2009, Mayank Anand quit Dill Mill Gayye to pursue a career as a book writer. [19] Later Karan Singh Grover also quit the show to work in Bollywood. [40] [41] Nearing the end of September 2009, the whole cast was changed and a second season was introduced with five new actors, Karan Wahi, Moulshree Sachdeva, Sehban Azim, Neha Jhulka and Prasad Barve. [42] [43]
In March 2010, Karan Singh Grover and later in June 2010, Shilpa Anand returned to the show on fans' demands. After coming back two years later, Anand played a different character, Dr. Shilpa Malhotra, and once again she was paired opposite Karan Singh Grover. [15] [44] [45] [41]
In May 2010, Neha Jhulka quit the show as she was not happy with her storyline. [46]
In 2008, during shoot of a basketball playing scene actress Shilpa Anand began feeling unwell and almost passed out on the set due to over heat, but she continued shooting. [47]
The series had shot many scenes that resemble some scenes from Bollywood. "The aur pass" scene and Lonavala sequence between Karan Singh Grover and Shilpa Anand were inspired by the Bollywood film Dil Toh Pagal Hai . [48]
The Times of India reported that Dill Mill Gayye was a TRP-tripper when Karan Singh Grover and Shilpa Anand played Dr. Armaan and Dr. Riddhima and also stated that their sizzling on-screen chemistry took the show to new highs. [42] [49] [50] In 2012, They listed Karan Singh Grover among "Big icons of Small Screen" and stated that he was a huge teenage icon in 2007. Even one and half year after the show going off air, there were demands for another season. [51]
Shweta Ksheri of India Today wrote, "With a fresh cast and a new storyline, the romantic medical drama was successful in attracting the younger lot." [1]
It was the number 1 show on Star One in 2007 to 2008. [51] In January 2008, it entered in top Hindi GEC list garnering 2.47 TRP. These TRPS occurred when the character Riddhima confessed her love to Armaan. [52] [53]
In 2007, The Times of India reported that group of girls on the set of Dill Mill Gayye decided to stay away from Karan Singh Grover because of his compulsive flirting. [17] In an exclusive Interview with Spotboye, Shilpa Anand revealed that she quit the show in 2008 because she had a fight with the executive producer during the shoot of the "Zara Zara Touch Me Touch Me" dance sequence. [33] Her replacements were not well-received by the audience and her exit caused a sizeable drop in the ratings. [54]
In 2009, when Sukirti Kandpal quit the show, the producer Siddharth P. Malhotra approached Shilpa Anand for returning to Dill Mill Gayye but she asked for high amount of money, which caused a conflict between her and the producer. [39] Cinevistaas Limited stated that they lodged a complaint against Karan Singh Grover for routinely reporting hours late for work, which made them incur a loss, and that actress Jennifer Winget slapped him on the set. They did not speak to each other for months and shot their scenes separately at two different times. [55] [56] The second season of the show didn’t do well. [43]
In 2010, a rumor spread that the rest of the three actors – Jennifer Winget, Karan Wahi and Karan Singh Grover – were unhappy about the focus shifting to Dr. Shilpa Malhotra. Later, Shilpa Anand's storyline with Karan Singh Grover was abruptly cut short. [44] [57] [34] In 29 October 2010, the series went off air due to low TRP. [5]
