Development[edit]

In May 2021, it was confirmed that Ekta Kapoor's show, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain which was originally broadcast from 2011 to 2014 will return with a fresh cast and different storyline.[6]

Casting[edit]

Nakuul Mehta was finalized to play the male lead, Ram Kapoor.[7] For the female lead Priya Sood, Divyanka Tripathi was approached who rejected the offer and eventually, Disha Parmar was signed by the makers.[8][3] The show marks the second collaboration between Mehta and Parmar as they previously co-starred in Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara (2012–2014).[9][10]

In December 2022, Nakuul Mehta decided to quit the show. He said, "I feel, creatively, full having been a part of it for so long. The story is going to places and I feel going ahead there’s nothing new I can bring to it. I will miss playing Ram. I feel I have paid my dues to the makers and the audiences in the last 18 months."[11]

In January 2023, Disha Parmar confirmed her exit. She said, "I would not say I'm quitting the show, but moving on to new projects and new beginnings. BAHL 2 was a great experience, and I enjoyed it thoroughly."[12]

In January 2023 it was confirmed that show will take a generation leap. Niti Taylor, Randeep Rai, Pooja Banerjee and Leenesh Mattoo were cast as Prachi, Raghav, Pihu and Angad respectively.[13][14]

Release[edit]

The first promo of the series was revealed and released by the show producer Ekta Kapoor on 12 August 2021 featuring Nakuul Mehta and Disha Parmar as Ram and Priya.[15] The first look poster of the upcoming season of the series was unleashed by the show leads Disha Parmar and Nakuul Mehta, at the grand finale episode of Indian Idol 12.[16][17] The show's premier date was officially announced on 19 August 2021.[18]

Crossover[edit]

Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2 and Appnapan – Badalte Rishton Ka Bandhan came together for an integration week, called "Mahasangam Saptah". The episodes revolved around Vikrant and Sara's wedding ceremonies, which took place in Meerut.[19]

Reception[edit]

Critical reception[edit]

Letty Mariam Abraham of Mid-Day stated "Mehta and Parmar put their best foot forward as they carry the show on their shoulders." She also noted that if the series is "relatable without indulging in melodrama ... it may well surpass its original."[20]

Gursimran Kaur of Times Of India stated "Nakuul Mehta steps into the shoes of Ram Kapoor beautifully. He does justice to his part. Disha Parmar takes the cake with her simplicity and genuinity."[21]
