Initially, ''Kahanii'' was offered to [[Zee TV]]. However, when they declined the offer, it was picked up by [[Star Plus]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/Companies/DY6tYikVelf4mtIywJh6eN/There-and-back-again-Subhash-Chandra-and-the-Zee-TV-story.html|title=There and back again: Subhash Chandra and the Zee TV story|website=Live Mint}}</ref><br />
<br />
Sakshi Tanwar was initially offered the role of a sister in law Parvati by Ekta Kapoor while playing the role of a sister-in-law in ''[[Karam Apnaa Apnaa]]'' which she rejected as she thought her role of a sister-in-law could not be the lead. Even when she was given narration of the story she rejected again as it required her to play the role of a mother to a teenager. Then, when Kapoor reduced the age of the characters in story by ten years, Tanwar rejected again as she was not willing to shift from Delhi to Mumbai for her daily soap shooting considering her routine would become affected. After discussions with Kapoor she decided to shoot for 15 days in Mumbai in a month for it so that the other days she could stay in Delhi.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Her own women|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/supplement/story/20130617-her-own-woman-763981-2013-06-06|website=India Today}}</ref><br />

==Reception==<br />
===Critics===<br />
The series was critically acclaimed during its premiere for showcasing the actual joint family concept and the problems faced by the new generations in joint family. The way in which the storyline was adopted was widely appreciated.<ref>[https://www.indiantelevision.com/qalam/sponsor/star.htm YearEnder 2001: Star Plus ends the year high with 'Kyunki Saas' and 'Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii's blockbuster ratings! ]</ref><br />
<br />
When it ended, [[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|The Telegraph]] stated both the positive and negative aspects of the show saying, "A by and large credible storyline and identifiable characters. Unlike Tulsi, Parvati, played by Saakshi Tanwar, was human and vulnerable and that endeared her to viewers. Repetitive plot points and too many characters towards the end. The Agarwal family plunged from one crisis to another. The viewer plunged from boredom to frustration."<ref>{{Cite web|title=The End|url=https://m.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/the-end/cid/533333|website=The Telegraph}}</ref><br />

In June 2008, a sequence was in making, reported to be inspired from the ongoing [[2008 Noida double murder case]] then, where the lead character Parvati's granddaughter Tanu played by [[Akshita Kapoor]] and her boyfriend Andy were to be murdered.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=A striking similarity|url=https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tv/a-striking-similarity/articleshow/15817309.cms|website=Mumbai Mirror}}</ref> The victim's mother Nupur Talwar requested the [[National Commission for Protection of Child Rights]] (NCPCR) to stop Balaji Telefilms from airing the sequence, saying that the production house was trying to earn [[Target rating point|TRPs]] by exploiting a tragedy.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Nupur Talwar against serial on Aarushi|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-nupur-talwar-against-serial-on-aarushi-1169947|website=[[Daily News and Analysis]]}}</ref> However, the production house refused to change the script stating the sequence not being inspired from that case while there were some similarities reported between both.<ref>{{Cite web|title=CBI court refuses to hear Talwar's bail plea|url=https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/news/india/cbi-court-refuses-to-hear-talwars-bail-plea/articleshow/15819201.cms|website=Mumbai Mirror}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Reality check|url=https://m.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/reality-check/cid/569930|website=The Telegraph}}</ref> The similarities between those reported by ''[[Mumbai Mirror]]'' were: "The body of Tanu's boyfriend is found inside the house just as the body of the servant was found on the terrace, in Aarushi's case. In the show as in reality, Tanu's ashes will be immersed in Haridwar just like Aarushi's. Also, the drama will focus on a family member's involvement in the murder. Like Aarushi's mother, Parvati will be shown giving interviews to the media. The show has also incorporated the element of the MMS from Aarushi's case and the CBI probe into the case."<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
When Balaji Telefilms refused to drop the track, NCPCR's member Sandhya Bajaj after Talwar's complaint, in a letter to [[Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (India)|Information & broadcasting]] (I&B) secretary Asha Swarup, said, "Balaji Telefilms’ move would glorify the concept of “honour killings”. They should not be allowed to make a serial on Aarushi murder case till the investigations are over. Otherwise, it will amount to influencing the investigation and the final outcome of the case,"<ref>{{Cite web|title=‘Stop Balaji from cashing in on Aarushi case’|url=https://m.hindustantimes.com/india/stop-balaji-from-cashing-in-on-aarushi-case/story-UFdtDE4iAVMebsr4hp01yI.html|website=Hindustan Times}}</ref> Following the complaint and I&B ministry meeting with Star TV, they ordered Star to withhold the episode telecast.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Channel asked to withhold Aarushi plot|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/city/delhi/Channel-asked-to-withhold-Aarushi-plot/articleshow/3118678.cms|website=The Times of India}}</ref> Then, Star instructed Balaji Telefilms as per I&B's letter to alter the track accordingly. Soon, the track was altered regarding which Creative head, Nivedita Basu stated, "Well, Andy will not die; only Tanu will be bumped off. So there is no double murder like that of Aarushi and Hemraj. Moreover, we also removed the word 'honour killing' from the episode. Now the track will be of a 'who-dun-it', where every character in the Agarwal family will be a suspect."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Back Track|url=https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tv/Back-track/articleshow/15820342.cms?|website=Mumbai Mirror}}</ref><br />
