Production[edit]

Casting[edit]

In May 2012, lead Giaa Manek signed on to appear on the reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa on rival network Colors TV.[16] Saathiya producers objected, noting that Manek was under contract with their network and that doing a reality series could tarnish her onscreen image as a soft-spoken character.[17] The producers took their complaints to the Association of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers (AMPTPP) and to Cine and TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) for arbitration. Members of CINTAA had meetings with Manek and asked her to quit the reality show. Manek declined and Star replaced her with Devoleena Bhattacharjee.[17]

In January 2014, Rucha Hasabnis playing Rashi confirmed that she planned to quit the series any time in that year.[18] However, owing to her marriage she decided to quit acting and she exited in August 2014 with her character being killed.[19]

In May 2016, Mohammed Nazim playing Ahem quit the show and his character was killed off in the show. The reason from a source stated, "Since the existing key actors aired their reservations about playing grandparents, the creatives had no option but to put the time leap on hold. Something drastic needed to be done to liven up the storyline. After brainstorming, the best idea seemed to bump off Ahem's character, so a new man could be introduced in protagonist Gopi's life to take the story forward,"[20] Then, Khalid Siddiqui was cast opposite Bhattacharjee as Krishna in May 2016.[21] As their story was not well received by the viewers, with a decrease in ratings, in July 2016, Nazim was made to re-enter the series as Jaggi, a look-a-like of Ahem's illegitimate twin half-brother and the story focused on him and Bhattacharjee.[22]

In September 2015, Lovely Sasan playing Paridhi quit the series as she did not want to play the role of a mother.[23] However, after sometime when the makers approached her, she agreed and returned in March 2016.[24]

Filming[edit]

Based on Gujarat as backdrop, the series was mainly filmed at sets in Mira road near Mumbai. The outside shell of the Modi Mansion shown in the episodes was of the Shubham Villa located in Madh Island.[25][26] In December 2012, a sequence was shot at Bhuj, Gujarat for 10 days.[27] In March 2013, a sequence was shot at Madh Island.[28]

Besides, some sequences were also filmed at foreign locations including Switzerland in May 2011 and Singapore in February and March 2017.[29][30] Earlier, US was planned but was cancelled due to Visa issues of Mohammad Nazim and Singapore was finalized.[31]

Reception[edit]

Critics[edit]

Hindustan Times appreciated the series for the majority cast being new comers however criticised the series as "The loud clothes and backward settings induce a pukey sensation. There's serious amount of overacting involved by the actors, whether they play protagonists or mums and dads. It't’s too old fashioned and boring".[53]
