Development
Talking about her show Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji, Jasmin Bhasin stated, “In a time when supernatural dramas are taking charge, Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji is a slice-of-life story. I have grown up watching such shows and I am sure the audience will love it too. We are making it with full honesty and heart. I am sure everyone will relate to it and enjoy it.”[7]
In June 2018, on introduction of a 6 years leap in storyline, Jasmin Bhasin was uncomfortable playing a mother and thus she was replaced by Donal Bisht.[8] Producer Gul Khan confirmed, "Jasmin was not okay bonding with a child in the show. Even though she had agreed on the story line, on scene level she was uncomfortable. We do not want any actor to be uncomfortable or unhappy while shooting. So we amicably parted ways. We wish her all the best."[8]
