Development and premiere
Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya, Karan Patel and Ruhanika Dhawan as Raman, Ishita and Ruhi during the launch of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein

The series, produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under the banner Balaji Telefilms is a family drama and also a love story.[14][4] The show premiered on 3 December 2013. Talking about the show, Ekta said, "My association with Star goes back a long way. We have together celebrated many successes and created iconic characters through generations. I look forward to working with them closely on this show and I am sure that the viewers will accept Ishita & Raman into their families".[15] Speaking on the character Ishita's development, Kapoor said, "I created Divyanka's character as dentist in 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein', as I was having a lot of tooth trouble those days. My dentist sorted my problems a lot, so I brought that character alive"[16]

The show was initially titled as Custody but was renamed Mera Tera Rishta Purana which was again changed to Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.[17]

In November 2019, Ekta Kapoor revealed, "When I started Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, I remember going to Gaurav Banerjee from Star Plus and asking him for a non prime time slot because I wanted to do a show on a social issue. I had stopped doing much television and I wanted to make YHM without the trappings of a TRP driven show. A show about a woman who cannot have children, a stepmother who according to Indian terms is considered bad! Words in India like barren and evil stepmother got used so often and labelled women in the worst poss way. This show got so much love that it went on for six years. And from a non prime time slot to a prime time slot."[18]

In September 2014, Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor were to promote their film Finding Fanny in the series for which the leads Tripathi Dahiya and Patel had to shoot a sequence with them.[19] As Patel delayed to the sets for shooting, the script was changed on Patel's absence at last minute as the films stars had to head on for other promotions.[20]

On 11 May 2016, during filming of the weeding sequence of characters Romi and Mihika, the shoot was stalled owing to a fight between the production house and workers union.[21] On 25 July 2018, the shoot was stalled for a while during bandh in Mumbai.[22]

Casting

Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya was selected by Kapoor to play Ishita Iyer Bhalla.[23] Cezanne Khan was first approached to play Raman Bhalla opposite Tripathi Dahiya, but was replaced by Karan Patel.[14] Child artist Ruhanika Dhawan was chosen to play Ruhi Bhalla.[1] Sayantani Ghosh was first considered but Anita Hassanandani was selected to play Shagun Arora.[24] The other cast included then were Aly Goni, Mihika Verma, Shruti Bapna, Neena Kulkarni, Shahnaz Rizwan, Kaushal Kapoor, Abhay Bhargava and Gautam Ahuja.[25][26]

In March 2018, Charu Mehra was supposed to enter the series during the filming at London, however could not due to her visa issues.[27]

Filming

The show has taken various leaps including a seven-year leap in April 2016, followed by a one-year leap in November 2016 and then a two-year leap in November 2017.[28][29][30] On 9 December 2016 the show completed 1,000 episodes.[31][32] The show completed 1,500 episodes on 13 June 2018.[33][34][35]

Based on backdrop of Delhi, the series is mainly filmed at the sets in Andheri, Mumbai.[36][37] Some sequences were filmed at several foreign locations including Australia, Budapest and London.[38][39]

Reception

In spite of started airing at late night slot 11:00pm (IST), Yeh Hai Mohabbatein received ratings than expected and even became forth number on Star Plus.[63] In 2014, on audience request, it got a dual slot of 7:30pm and 11:00pm (IST). Star Plus SVP marketing Nikhil Madhok stated that the move was made after audiences’ feedback that a section of viewers found the 11:00 pm slot too late in night. He further explained, “This was a show where repeat viewing the next day or viewing on online digital medium is very high. So the dual airing will not only help the existing viewers who love the show to watch it twice but also add a whole new set of viewers".[63]

In early 2016, it lost its steady position from top five, juggling in top ten weekly Hindi GEC list in weeks three to seven of the year where it garnered 10.47, 10.09, 10.95, 10.59 and 10.34 million impressions while in week five, it occupied third position.[64] In week 29 of 2016 it garnered 10.022 million impressions occupying third position in Hindi GEC.[65] In week 41, it was at fourth position with 9.687 million impressions.[66]

Starting in January 2017, the show begun to falter in the TRP ratings when the show's focus shifted to the new generation.[67] Nevertheless, the show is very popular in the UK, being the most-watched Indian show.[68][69] The climax of Ruhi-Nikhil track leading to Ananya's death brought a sudden spike in the ratings in the first week of November 2017 (week 44) and the series secured a place amongst the Top 10 shows after almost a year off this ranking.[70] With the Budapest track and the focus back on the main leads, the show reached the Top 5 in the second week of November 2017 (week 45).[71][72] In week 46 of the year 2017, the show further climbed to the 4th spot on the TRP chart, thus becoming the most-watched show on StarPlus.[73] In week 47 of the year 2017, the show remained at No. 4 on the TRP charts and continued to be the most-watched show on StarPlus. The show continued to do well maintaining its No. 1 position on StarPlus in the following weeks. In week 51 of 2017, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein emerged as the most-watched show across all Hindi GECs. (General Entertainment Channels)[74]

In week 8 of the year 2018, the show remained at No. 3 on the TRP charts and continued to be the most-watched show on STAR Plus.[75] In May 2018, the show was shifted to 10:30 pm from 7:30 pm which led to a fall in TRPs. Roshni's baby track was received poorly by fans which led to a further downfall in TRPs following which the broadcaster, StarPlus, intervened asking the producer, Ekta Kapoor, to change the storyline of the show also giving it a 6-month deadline to increase the ratings. Ishita's fake death drama to expose Param led to the show re-entering the top 20 shows in week 31 of the year 2018 occupying the 18th place with 3889 million viewership.[76] After the change in show timings to late night TRPs have dropped ranging from 1.2 to 1.4 mostly but has been the slot leader since then. The show has been rumoured to go off air for a long time. However, the lead actor Divyanka Tripathi, who played Ishita Bhalla on the show, and the creative director Sandiip Sikcand refuted all these rumours adding that the show has been doing exceedingly well at its time slot.[77]
