Production

The series which was in the works since 2012, produced by Deeya Singh and Tony Singh under DJ's a Creative Unit, was initially titled as Sher Dil Shergil and the promo of the series started to air on StarPlus which was supposed to premiere during early 2013. The actors cast in the series were Supriya Pilgaonkar, Kanwaljeet Singh, Kanchi Kaul, Chhavi Mittal, Diwakar Pundir, Ulka Gupta, Parakh Madhan, Sunayana Fozdar and Uzair Basar.

However, the channel being unhappy with the episodes shot, scrapped them and instructed the production house to rework on the show and script in January 2013. The series underwent a revamp with the former script consisting of many children being reduced and change of story focus to adult cast with some cast changes with Kanchi Kaul, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Kanwaljeet Singh and Uzair Basar being retained while others being dropped out. Abhishek Bajaj, Esha Kansara, Vipul Gupta, Shweta Gautam and Rohit Sagar were some of the new additions then. The series was also renamed as Ek Nanad Ki Khushiyon Ki Chaabi... Meri Bhabhi before its premiere and was launched during early June 2013.

The series garnered average ratings in its prime time slot and in March 2014, it was decided to end the series due to its low ratings and it went off air on 12 April 2014. The shooting of the series was wrapped up on 11 April 2014.

Reception

The series opened with a rating of 1.9 TVR in its debut week.
