Development and premiere

In June 2017, producer Ekta Kapoor revealed her plan for a spin-off of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein however stated, "I wanted to make a spin off of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein but it's not working out with the story line." [6] The reports of the spin-off in making was then announced in April 2018. [7] It was supposed to premiere in the same year but was delayed as the story was not finalized. [8] Then, it was reported to premiere in June 2019 and the casting for it was going on while Aakanksha Singh and Karan Vohra were reported as the leads. [9] [8] But it was scrapped in July 2019. [10] In September 2019, the series was revived and fresh casting sessions began. [11] Sargun Kaur Luthra was cast as Dr. Preesha Srinivasan and Abrar Qazi was cast as Rudraksh Khurana. [12]

Talking about the series, producer Ekta Kapoor said "Yeh Hai Chahatein deals with another social issue. It's often said that it's easier for men with children to get married again, but very tough for a woman with a child to find a suitable groom." [13]

Release

The first promo of the series was released on 27 November 2019 where Sargun Kaur Luthra and Vidhaan Sharma were introduced by Divyanka Tripathi and Karan Patel as Dr. Preesha Srinivasan and Saransh Khurana. [14] The next promo was released on 16 December 2019 featuring Abrar Qazi, Luthra and Vidhaan Sharma. The series premiered on 19 December 2019 on StarPlus. [15]

Casting

Sargun Kaur Luthra was selected to play Dr. Preesha Srinivasan's character. [16] Karan Wahi was approached to play Rudraksh Khurana, but Abrar Qazi was signed by the production team. [17] Zebby Singh was potentially going to play Yuvraj Pillai before the role went to Siddharth Shivpuri. [18] Parul Chauhan was supposed to play Ahana, but Aishwarya Sakhuja replaced her. [19] When the shooting resumed after the COVID-19 outbreak, in early July 2020, Vidhaan Sharma was replaced by Yagya Bhasin as Saaransh and Gulshan Pandey replaced Vijay Kashyap as Gopal. [20]

Luthra stated that she took inspiration from Neena Gupta for her role. [21] Talking about playing a mother for the first time, she said, "When I was told that I will be playing a mother, I wasn't apprehensive at all. My only worry was that i am very young and I had to look mature on the screen which was a challenge. The team has helped me a lot to help me look a certain age and moreover with my body language to portray this character. Even Vidhaan (my on-screen son), has helped bring out the best in me. More than mother-son, we are like friends off the screen." [22]

Sakhuja was hired to portray Ahana, her first negative role. Speaking about it she said, "I have auditioned for a lot of Balaji shows and whenever I auditioned for negative roles I was told I look very positive. So, when I bagged this role, I asked them why now? They said eventually you will get to know as to why we have chosen you, and I understand because they like to surprise their audience and that's exactly what they are doing. I was figuring how to go about it, but my team is helping. After every two sentences out of habit, I go into the positive zone but I have people to handhold me and help me." [23]

In May 2021 Mister Supranational India Altamash Faraz was cast as Armaan Thakur. [24]
