Star Plus launches romantic saga Ye Hai Mohabbatein

As someone once said, “Love Thy Neighbour”, Star Plus & Ekta Kapoor present a relatable, urban story of two neighbours in Ye Hai Mohabbatein. The Iyers and Bhallas are neighbours in Delhi, who have a conflict prone relationship but things are about to get even more interesting. The Iyers' dentist daughter Ishita Iyer & the Bhallas' businessman son Raman Bhalla find themselves getting bound by an unusual bond. Not every relationship has a name and theirs is defined by Raman’s adorable daughter Ruhi with whom Ishita develops a strong attachment. This attachment leads Ishita into getting close to the man – Raman who she dislikes the most. Star Plus along with Balaji Telefilms brings Ye Hai Mohabbatein, an emotional story of love and loss that launches on 3 December and will air from Monday - Friday at 11.00 p.m. The show marks the return of popular TV stars Divyanka Tripathi and Karan Patel in lead roles. How far can one really go for a child? Can someone get into a romantic relationship only for the love and attachment to a child? This is what Ye Hai Mohabbatein addresses. A heart-warming story that revolves around a simple, middle-class girl, Ishita Iyer, with a past of a failed relationship whose life changes when fate brings her face to face with a 5 year old girl, Ruhi with whom she develops an immediate bond. It is the love for this child that takes her on an unexpected journey of getting close to Ruhi’s father, Raman Bhalla. On the other hand, Raman is a rich business man, a single dad with a bitter outlook to life. With various upheavals in their lives, Ishita and Raman’s journey with Ruhi as their mediator makes a compelling story. “We are delighted to partner with Ekta once again for Ye Hai Mohabbatein. The story she has brought to us is urban and contemporary. This love story begins after a marriage gets over. It explores the theme of a second chance in love. With well etched characters and a strong urban narrative, the show deals with day-to-day issues faced by modern couples. We are positive that our metro audiences will see a connect with Ishita and Raman and follow their story,” says Gaurav Banerjee, General Manager, Star Plus.
