Set in Delhi, the show revolves around two neighbours, Tamil dentist Dr. Ishita Iyer and Punjabi CEO Raman Kumar Bhalla; neighbours who got off on the wrong foot and dislike each other, but are brought together by destiny and their mutual love for Ruhi, Raman's daughter from his ex-wife Shagun.
Raman is a changed man following the betrayal he faced from his ex-wife, Shagun Arora, who leaves him for a richer man, Ashok Khanna. Hence, Raman loses trust in relationships and love. His son, Aditya is brainwashed by Ashok and Shagun which makes Adi hate Raman. Raman also finds it hard to connect with his daughter, Ruhi, who was only 6 months old when Shagun left him.
Ishita who loves children, but cannot conceive due to a medical problem develops a deep connection with Ruhi.
Initially, Raman and Ishita hate each other due to several misunderstandings. However, they enter into a marriage of convenience for Ruhi's sake. Raman marries Ishita in order to get Ruhi's custody while Ishita marries him to give Ruhi the motherly love she was deprived of.
After marrying each other, Raman and Ishita realize how wrong their misconceptions about each other were. Their misunderstandings slowly fade away and they become friends. Ishita supports Raman in moving on from his past and brings him closer to Ruhi. Raman supports Ishita against his entire family when she gets framed by Raman's brother-in-law, Parmeet Khurana and proves her innocence. He doesn't step back from sacrificing his prestigious position as the president of "New Delhi Entrepreneurs Association" in order to get back Ishita's dental license that was unfairly snatched away from her by Ashok and his brother, Sooraj. Raman supports Ishita's family when in need and wins her heart in the process. Eventually Aditya also understands Raman and Ishita's love for him and joins the family.
Raman and Ishita's marriage eventually blossoms into true love and both of them gain true companionship for life. The rest of the story follows how Raman and Ishita face numerous challenges thrown by destiny, and yet remain together and strengthen their bond.
Kapoor said, "I created Divyanka's character as a 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"[4]
The show was first titled Custody and was initially based on Manju Kapur's 2011 novel Custody.[5] It was renamed Mera Tera Rishta Purana which was again changed to Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.[6] The production began about a year before its premiere but the launch was delayed due to creative differences and unavailability of time slot.[7][8][9]
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."[10]
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.[11] 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.[12]
On 11 May 2016, during filming of the wedding sequence of characters Romi and Mihika, the shoot was stalled owing to a fight between the production house and workers union.[13] On 25 July 2018, the shoot was stalled for a while during bandh in Mumbai.[14]
Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya was selected by Kapoor to play Ishita Iyer Bhalla.[15] Cezanne Khan was first approached to play Raman Bhalla opposite Tripathi Dahiya, but was replaced by Karan Patel.[16] Child artist Ruhanika Dhawan was chosen to play Ruhi Bhalla.[17] Sayantani Ghosh was first considered but Anita Hassanandani was selected to play Shagun Arora.[18] The other cast included then were Aly Goni, Mihika Verma, Shruti Bapna, Neena Kulkarni, Shahnaz Rizwan, Kaushal Kapoor, Abhay Bhargava and Gautam Ahuja.[19][20]
In March 2018, Charu Mehra was supposed to enter the series during the filming in London, however, she was unable due to her visa issues.[21]
Based on backdrop of Delhi, the series is mainly filmed in Andheri, Mumbai.[22][23] Some sequences were filmed abroad, including Australia, Budapest and London.[24][25]
Yeh Hai Chahatein premiered on 19 December 2019, replacing Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. It focuses on Ishita's niece Preesha portrayed by Sargun Kaur Luthra opposite Abrar Qazi portraying Preesha Khurana and Rudraksh Khurana respectively.[26]

In spite of started airing at late night slot 11:00pm (IST), Yeh Hai Mohabbatein received better ratings than expected and even became fourth number on Star Plus.[40] In 2014, on audience request, it got a dual slot of 7:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. (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 p.m. slot too late. 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".[40]
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.[41] In week 29 of 2016 it garnered 10.022 million impressions occupying third position in Hindi GEC.[42] In week 41, it was at fourth position with 9.687 million impressions.[43]
Starting in January 2017, the show began to falter in the TRP ratings when the show's focus shifted to the new generation.[44] Nevertheless, the show is very popular in the UK, being the most-watched Indian show.[45][46] 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.[47] 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).[48][49] In week 46 of the year 2017, the show further climbed to the fourth spot on the TRP chart, thus becoming the most-watched show on StarPlus.[50] 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)[51]
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.[52] In May 2018, the show was shifted to 10:30 p.m. from 7:30 p.m. 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 18th place with 3889 million viewership.[53] After the change in show timings to late night TRPs have dropped ranging from 1.2 to 1.4 mostly but had been the slot leader since then. After being unable to pull up the TRP and lack of constructive story, the show went off air on 18 December 2019, giving space to a Ye Hai Mohobbatein spin-off called Ye Hai Chahatein.
