Yeh Hai Chahatein has been on air for many years. The show got immense love and is the spin-off of the popular TV show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. The show started off with Abrar Qazi and Sargun Kaur Luthra as leads. The show took a leap, welcoming actors Pravisht Mishra and Shagun Sharma as new leads, as well as Arjun and Kashvi. The show has now completed 300 episodes post-leap. Pinkvilla got in touch with Shagun, and in a candid chat, she expressed her joy at the achievement.

However, since the show has been on air for quite some time, it is only the tip of the iceberg for the team. I am very happy and looking forward to achieving more such milestones. I hope we can celebrate 3000 episodes completion soon."

The Ishq Par Zor Nahi actress said, "I don't think there were challenges as such, because the show is produced by Balaji Telefilms. The team is very nice, and they exactly knew what they wanted. From the directors to the creatives on the show, everybody has been very helpful and welcoming. I'd also like to mention Sargun (Kaur Luthra). We instantly connected. She is lovely, genuine, funny, and a warm person. My focus was on being grateful for the opportunity to work with this incredible team, and thus I don't feel that I faced challenges."

Shagun Sharma said, "Actually, I was very well prepared that audiences would take a while to accept the new leads in the show. I feel it is bound to happen, and if it doesn't, then there can be an issue. But that happened, which means that the show had managed to win the hearts of the viewers and that it has been successful in connecting with them, resulting in fans being disappointed with the change. Having said that, I am extremely happy that we managed to transform the hate of fans into love; that's what matters in the end."
