Miley Jab Hum Tum (transl.When You and I Met) is an Indian Hindi-language teen drama television series that aired on Star One from 22 September 2008 to 19 November 2010. It is digitally available on Disney+ Hotstar. [1] Produced by Sudhir Sharma and Seema Sharma under Endemol India Sunshine Productions, the series depicts themes of falling in love during college and building lifelong relationships. It starred Mohit Sehgal, Sanaya Irani, Rati Pandey, and Arjun Bijlani. [2]
The story begins at Excel College, introducing basketball champion Samrat Shergill (Mohit Sehgal), college diva Dia (Navina Bole), their friends Benji and Uday, studious sisters Nupur Bhushan (Rati Pandey) and Gunjan Bhushan (Sanaya Irani), and academically inclined Mayank Sharma (Arjun Bijlani). Nupur is fashion-conscious and carefree, while Gunjan is introverted, responsible, and focused on her studies. Nupur and Mayank frequently argue but eventually fall in love, while Gunjan and Samrat develop a friendship that leads to romance. Nupur and Mayank marry, and the sisters face competition from their cousin Dia, who is jealous of them.
Mayank and Nupur later decide to move to the United States. On their way to the airport with Gunjan and Samrat, the group is involved in a serious accident.
The group is separated, and Nupur is presumed dead, with Samrat being blamed for the incident. Mayank is devastated, and Samrat and Gunjan part ways. It is later revealed that Nupur's obsessive admirer, Dhruv, was responsible for the accident, and that Nupur is alive. After Dhruv is brought to justice, Nupur reunites with Mayank. The series concludes with Samrat and Gunjan getting married, and Mayank and Nupur becoming parents to twin boys.
Miley Jab Hum Tum was produced under Endemol India and Sunshine Productions by Sudhir Sharma and Seema Sharma. The series narrates the story of two sisters, their move to a metropolitan city, their experiences of falling in love during college, and the development of lifelong relationships. [3] [4]
In 2010, the series took a three-year leap, following which new characters were introduced. Producer Sudhir Sharma stated, "We've done almost 400 episodes and now I feel that we need to revamp it to bring back the enthusiasm we had when we first started. We want the youth to be able to connect with the show. I wouldn't say that the audience is bored, but as a precaution, it's better if we give them something fresh." [5] [6]
Rati Pandey and Sanaya Irani were cast as the lead sisters, Nupur and Gunjan, respectively. [7] [8] Arjun Bijlani and Mohit Sehgal were cast opposite them as the male leads, Mayank and Samrat. The role of Samrat marked Sehgal's acting debut. [9] [10] Rohit Khurana was cast in a cameo role as Dhruv, Nupur's obsessive admirer. [11]
In 2010, Pandey exited the series following her character's on-screen death before the leap. She rejoined the cast a few months later, after the TRP ratings declined in her absence. [12]
The series is primarily set in Mumbai. Some portions depicting Excel College were filmed at Sophia College for Women, Mumbai. Additional scenes were shot at Kanjurmarg. [13] [14]
Miley Jab Hum Tum is regarded as one of the most popular youth and college dramas. It received positive reviews from both critics and audiences. [15] Raya Mehnaz of The Daily Star observed that the series became a fan favourite due to its "college setting and engaging storylines," adding that the show, "while adhering to the western tropes common in coming-of-age stories set in college, also subverted these tropes in uncommon ways." [16]
The Times of India included Rati Pandey and Arjun Bijlani in its list of "Evergreen Romantic Couples," noting that Nupur and Mayank's compelling on-screen chemistry elevated the show to new heights. [17]
Miley Jab Hum Tum was the number one show on Star One between 2008 and 2009, frequently topping the TRP charts. [5] [18]
