## Cast
Shritama Mukherjee played Koyal Ghosh, described as a vibrant, chirpy, confident, present-generation girl whose life revolves around family and friends; Mukherjee, who is Bengali herself, had previously appeared in *Kalash – Ek Vishwaas* on Life OK.[3](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/kuch-toh-hai-tere-mere-darmiyaan-know-all-about-the-show/amp_etphotostory/49412638.cms) Vibhav Roy played [Raj Kapoor](https://www.edgepedia.org/raj-kapoor), a Punjabi whose single wish is "To Become A Hero", to the chagrin of his on-screen mother Rozie Kapoor, a failed actress; the role was Roy's second outing with Mukherjee after *Gustakh Dil*.[3](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/kuch-toh-hai-tere-mere-darmiyaan-know-all-about-the-show/amp_etphotostory/49412638.cms) Gautam Gupta played the shy, studious, introvert Madhavan Venkat while also juggling *Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi*.[3](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/kuch-toh-hai-tere-mere-darmiyaan-know-all-about-the-show/amp_etphotostory/49412638.cms) Lalit Bisht played Samar, the CEO of the company where the three families work.[5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/kuch-toh-hai-tere-mere-darmiyaan-show-launch/photostory/48983948.cms)
## Mid-run recasting
In November 2015, about one and a half months after launch, Asha Negi took over the female lead role of Koyal from Shritama Mukherjee, and Aly Goni, then playing Romi Bhalla in *Ye Hai Mohabbatein*, also entered the show.[4](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/asha-negi-replaces-female-lead-of-kuch-toh-hai-tere-mere-darmiyaan/lite/) [The Indian Express](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-indian-express) reported that the lead couple was changed in the wake of low Television Rating Points (TRP).[4](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/asha-negi-replaces-female-lead-of-kuch-toh-hai-tere-mere-darmiyaan/lite/) Negi said viewers could look out for her own "tadka" in the show.[4](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/asha-negi-replaces-female-lead-of-kuch-toh-hai-tere-mere-darmiyaan/lite/)
## Development
Before launch, The Indian Express reported in August 2015 that author [Chetan Bhagat](https://www.edgepedia.org/chetan-bhagat), recently a judge on *Nach Baliye 7*, was reportedly re-teaming with [Ekta Kapoor](https://www.edgepedia.org/ekta-kapoor) on the show and would give creative inputs; a set source said the title might be changed to "3 States" because the three protagonists came from different cultural backgrounds, though the original title was retained.[6](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/ekta-kapoor-to-work-with-chetan-bhagat-again/) The show premiered on 28 September 2015 in a prime-time slot rather than a night-time slot.[7](https://indianexpress.com/about/kuch-toh-hai-tere-mere-darmiyaan/)
