Development
After the end of Sanjeevani - a medical boon, Siddharth Malhotra decided to make Dill Mill Gayye as a sequel of the show.The actor Mohnish Bahl reprised his role of Dr. Shashank from Sanjeevani and was the only common link between the shows.[14]
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.[15]
Casting
Earlier, Haroon Qazi was cast as Dr. Armaan but due to creative difference he was replaced with Karan Singh Grover.[16] Karan Singh Grover and Shilpa Anand played the main characters Dr. Armaan and Dr. Riddhima.[17]
Shilpa Anand initially gave audition for the role of Dr. Anjali Gupta. When her look test was done for a promo with Karan Singh Grover, their on screen chemistry made the creative team's mind change, Immediately. Later Sunaina Gulia was signed for the role.[18] Pankit Thakker was original paired up with Muskaan Mihani.[19] 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.[15]
In 2008, Shilpa Anand quit the show owing to the differences between the production house and to pursue a career in Bollywood.[16][20] She was replaced by Sukirti Kandpal who quit the show in 2009[21] and was replaced by Jennifer Winget.[22] Nearing the end of 2009, the whole cast was changed and a second season was introduced.[23][24]
In 2010, Karan Singh Grover and Shilpa Anand both actors returned to the show on fans' demands and Anand played different character, Dr. Shilpa Malhotra.[25][26][27][28]
Filming
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.[29]
Special scenes
The series had shot many scenes which resemble some of the scenes from Bollywood. "The aur pass" scene and Lonavala sequence between Karan Singh Grover and Shilpa Anand were inspired from Bollywood film Dil Toh Pagal Hai.[30]
Controversy
In 2007, The Times of India reported that gang of girls on the sets of Dill Mill Gayye decided to stay away from Karan Singh Grover because of his compulsive flirting.[31] 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 shoot of "Zara Zara Touch Me Touch Me" dance sequence.[16]
In 2009, when Sukirti Kandpal had quit the show, the producer Siddharth 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.[21] Cinevistaas Limited stated that they had lodged a complaint against Karan Singh Grover for routinely reporting hours late for work, which made them incur a loss and also actress Jennifer Winget slapped him on the set. They didn't speak to each other for months, used to shoot for their scenes separately at two different times.[32][33] In 2010, a rumor spread that the rest of the three actors - Karan Singh Grover, Karan Wahi and Jennifer Winget were unhappy about the focus getting shifted to Dr. Shilpa Malhotra.[26]
Reception
In 2010, 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.[23] In 2012, They listed Karan Singh Grover among "Big icons of small screen" and stated that he was a huge teenage icon in 2007 and even one and half year after the show's off air, there were demands for another season.[34]
