Production

Development

Miley Jab Hum Tum was produced under the Endemol India and the Sunshine Productions, by Sudhir Sharma and Seema Sharma. It tells the story of two sisters, their journey to big city, falling in love during college and developing relations for a lifetime.

In 2010, the show took a three year leap, after which new characters were introduced. Producer Sudhir Sharma said, "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."

Casting

Rati Pandey and Sanaya Irani were cast as the lead sisters, Nupur and Gunjan. Arjun Bijlani and Mohit Sehgal were cast opposite them as the leads, Mayank and Samrat respectively. The show marked Sehgal's acting debut. Rohit Khurana was cast as Dhruv, Nupur's obessive lover, in a cameo.

In 2010, Pandey left the show after her character's death before the leap. But, she re-joined the show in a few months, after the trp declined due to her absence.

Filming

The series is primarily set in Mumbai. Some portions of Excel College were shot at Sophia College for Women, Mumbai. Some scenes were also shot at Kanjurmarg.

Raya Mehnaz of The Daily Star stated that it became a fan favourite due to its "college setting and engaging storylines" and noted, "Miley Jab Hum Tum while adhering to the western tropes that are common in coming-of-age stories in college settings, also subverted the same tropes in ways that were uncommon."
