## Premise and characters
The serial follows Jeevika Chaudhary ([Krystle D'Souza](https://www.edgepedia.org/krystle-dsouza)) and Manvi Chaudhary ([Nia Sharma](https://www.edgepedia.org/nia-sharma)), orphaned sisters of contrasting outlooks on life whose love for each other carries them through every difficulty[4](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/ek-hazaaron-mein-meri-behna-hai) • [5](https://www.imdb.com/hi/title/tt2366915/). A central dramatic question posed at the outset is who will care for Manvi once Jeevika marries and has a household of her own[3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2366915/plotsummary/). Alongside the sisterhood, the show runs parallel love stories: Karan Tacker plays Viren Singh Vadhera, Jeevika's husband, and [Kushal Tandon](https://www.edgepedia.org/kushal-tandon) plays his brother Virat, who pairs with Manvi[4](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/ek-hazaaron-mein-meri-behna-hai). The extended Chaudhary family in Rishikesh includes Chandrika Chaudhary, the grandmother called Biji, played by Anju Mahendru[4](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/ek-hazaaron-mein-meri-behna-hai) • [1](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Hazaaron_Mein_Meri_Behna_Hai).
Supporting and recurring cast named in episode credits include [Abhinav Shukla](https://www.edgepedia.org/abhinav-shukla) as Dr. Manan (2011) and [Suzanne Bernert](https://www.edgepedia.org/suzanne-bernert) as Liz (2013)[6](https://www.imdb.com/hi/title/tt2366915/fullcredits/). One storyline reported in the press concerned a Punjabi man in love with a South Indian girl whose family opposed the inter-caste marriage[7](https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/ek-hazaaron-mein-meri-behna-hain/3605423/ek-hazaaron-mein-meri-behna-hai-spreads-the-messag).
## Production
The series was produced by Cinevistaas Limited, with Prem Kishan and Sunil Mehta credited as producers and [Siddharth P. Malhotra](https://www.edgepedia.org/siddharth-p-malhotra) as creative producer[1](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Hazaaron_Mein_Meri_Behna_Hai) • [6](https://www.imdb.com/hi/title/tt2366915/fullcredits/). Directors across the run included Santram Verma, Kaushik Ghatak, Vikram Labhe, and Ajit Kumar, with Noel Smith directing 50 episodes in 2011–2012 and Sachin Ambre directing 156 episodes in 2013[1](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Hazaaron_Mein_Meri_Behna_Hai) • [6](https://www.imdb.com/hi/title/tt2366915/fullcredits/). Writers credited include Zama Habib, Aniruddh Tiwari, Priya Ramanathan, Bhavani Iyer, Arshad Sayed, Sanjay Rai, and Sonali Jaffar[1](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Hazaaron_Mein_Meri_Behna_Hai). Cinematographers were Mahesh Talkad, Sanjay Malwankar, and Danny, and Nirmala John was the editor[1](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Hazaaron_Mein_Meri_Behna_Hai). The show was shot in Rishikesh, Chandigarh, and Mumbai, and IMDb lists Rishikesh, Uttar Pradesh, India as a filming location[1](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Hazaaron_Mein_Meri_Behna_Hai) • [5](https://www.imdb.com/hi/title/tt2366915/).
The opening theme shares the show's title and was performed by [Shreya Ghoshal](https://www.edgepedia.org/shreya-ghoshal) and [Sonu Nigam](https://www.edgepedia.org/sonu-nigam)[1](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Hazaaron_Mein_Meri_Behna_Hai). Its lyrics, "Phoolon ka taron ka sabka kehna hai, Ek hazaron mein meri behna hai", come from a well-known Hindi song about a sister's bond, which the show adapted as its signature[2](https://artpopulaire.com/ckfinder/userfiles/files/5fb441b0-bfde-44f8-b539-5a4cf30ea605.pdf).
## Reception and afterlife
The series ran for 515 episodes over two years, ending on September 13, 2013[1](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Hazaaron_Mein_Meri_Behna_Hai). A trade report from early 2012 described it as a throwback to love stories on Indian television, noting that love stories worked on the small screen for Hindi-belt audiences even as viewers looked beyond family drama[8](https://images.assettype.com/afaqs/import/all/news/afaqs_reporter/pdf/2012/186.pdf). [Hindustan Times](https://www.edgepedia.org/hindustan-times), reviewing a 2012 plot twist, characterized the show as following the daily-soap formula of dramatic shockers meant to keep viewers hooked[9](https://www.hindustantimes.com/tv/bone-of-contention-in-ek-hazaaron-mein-meri-behna-hai/story-mwSjRQeZj1iGwuvV05odCM.html).
On IMDb the series holds a weighted rating of 2.7/10 from about 835 user ratings, although individual early episodes carry much higher episode-level scores, with the first episode rated 9.2/10 by 24 users[10](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2366915/ratings/) • [11](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2366915/episodes/).
The series remains available in India: as of the most recent checks it streams on VI movies and tv and free with ads on JioHotstar[4](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/ek-hazaaron-mein-meri-behna-hai). StarPlus's official YouTube channel continues to post clips, with individual videos drawing millions of views[12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRBmZQiJhMk).
One detail varies between databases: MyShows lists the final episode as airing on September 20, 2013, while Star Plus Wiki, IMDb, and other summaries give September 13, 2013 as the end date[13](https://en.myshows.me/view/72636/) • [1](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Hazaaron_Mein_Meri_Behna_Hai).
