Controversy
In July 2022, a lawsuit against the series makers was filed at IBF by some viewers against the then-ongoing surrogacy track where viewers claimed that Pakhi was shown becoming a surrogate mother through an illegal procedure.

Casting
In May 2023, Aishwarya Sharma Bhatt, who portrayed one of the key characters Patralekha, quit the series "to explore new opportunities" after a period of 2.5 years. In May 2023, it was confirmed that the show was taking a generation leap and thus all the cast would be making their exit from the show except Kishori Shahane, Bharati Patil and Shailesh Datar who would remain on the show in a lesser capacity. Their roles ended in the show in January 2024 due to the track revolving around Savi and Ishaan's wedding which resulted in their characters' deaths. Shakti Arora, Bhavika Sharma & Sumit Singh were finalised to play the lead roles as Ishaan, Savi & Reeva post leap. Sumit Singh's character was initially named Sharvari in pre-production phase, later it being transformed to Reeva.



Shakti Arora also revealed that he was approached initially to play the role of Virat Chavan which he declined due to budget issues. Arora on joining the show said, "I treat every show like it is my debut show; excitement and jitters go hand in hand with every new show I venture in." Bhavika Sharma, on the other hand, said, "I am very excited and grateful, but at the same time nervous because ‘Ghum Hain Kisikey Pyaar Meiin’ already holds a legacy with itself; The show has set a benchmark, and we really hope to reach that height. We have mixed emotions with a touch of nervousness and happiness." In June 2024, after another leap of 7 years, Hitesh Bharadwaj replaced Shakti Arora as the lead actor.

Development
The filming of the series began in September 2020. Mainly filmed in Mumbai, some initial sequences of the series were shot at Nashik.

In March 2021, the filming was halted for a few days when Neil Bhatt and a crew member tested positive for COVID-19 virus, leading to a change in the track.

On 13 April 2021, Chief Minister of Maharashtra announced a curfew from 15 April. On 16 and 17 April, the team shifted filming to Goa for a few weeks until the government issued a confirmation to resume shooting in Mumbai.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Uddhav Thackeray announced that shooting of all shows must halt within all parts of urban and rural Maharashtra. Hence, Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin producers moved to Goa and were permitted by the government to only shoot indoors, inside their bio-bubble. Everything proceeded as planned, but in May 2021 the producers shot a scene at Goa Fort, violating the regulations.

In May 2024 it was rumored that show would take a 10 year leap but then it was announced that it has been cancelled. In June 2024, it was confirmed that show was indeed taking a leap and that the entire Bhosale family would exit including leads Shakti Arora and Sumit Singh.

Filming
A massive fire broke out on the sets of the show located in Goregaon Film City on 10 March 2023 around 4:30 pm. It was reported that nearly 2000 people were present when the accident took place. Earlier reported to be fire from a cylinder blast later reports claimed that a short circuit happened due to a technical failure in a scheduled fire sequence. No casualties were reported however it was reported that whole set has been burnt down to ashes and the fire even reached the neighboring sets of Ajooni and Teri Meri Doriyaann.

Release
The first promo of the series was released on 12 September 2020 featuring then-leads Ayesha Singh and Neil Bhatt. The promo was released on 1 October 2020 and featured veteran actress Rekha promoting the series. The following promo released before premiere featured Deepika Singh in her character Sandhya Rathi from Diya Aur Baati Hum to promote the series.

On 4 August 2021, Rekha again made an appearance in a teaser to promote the track of Sai and Virat's outdoor trip as well as Samrat's return in the series. On 23 June 2023, Rekha again made another appearance to promote the generation leap.

Crossovers

 * On 17 April 2024, Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin aired one hour Ram Navami special episode wherein Imlie, Surya and Indira from Imlie attended the celebrations.
 * On 27 May 2024, Udne Ki Aasha had a crossover with Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin.
