The channel released the first promo of ‘Yeh Hai Chahatein’ yesterday and it has received a good response from the fans. Ekta Kapoor, the producer of ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’, posted a heartfelt note for the show while sharing the promo of its spin-off.
The TV Czarina said that she wanted to make ‘YHM” without the trappings of a TRP driven show.
‘’As we bid adieu to the very successful predecessor Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, it’s time to welcome Ishima’s niece in Yeh Hai Chahatein. We have seen lots of stories till now, but this one is going to be even more special. 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 n evil stepmother got used so often and labelled women in d 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. Yeh Hai Chahatein deals with another social issue,’’ the ‘Naagin 4’ producer wrote.
‘’ It’s said often 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. Let’s see if ishita’s niece will be able to be an outstanding mother and still live out an unbelievable love story . starplus. From the makers of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, a story that will tug at your heart,’’ Ekta wrote in her post.
'Tantra' actress Sargun Kaur Luthra and 'Gathbandhan' actor Abrar Qazi will play the lead roles in 'Yeh Hai Chahatein'. The show will go on-air from December 19 at 10:30pm slot.
