Production
Development
Based in Amritsar, Punjab, the series is mainly filmed in Mumbai.[6] In November 2019, the honeymoon sequence was filmed in Serbia.[7]
On 12 September 2019, the filming was held for three hours due to the fight by the workers’ union and Allied Mazdoor Union with producers owing to due in payments.[8]
Casting
In February 2021, the show took a 5 years leap and female child artist Kevina Tak, who played as Param, roped to play as Meher and Sarab's daughter, Seher. Child artists Aekam Binjwe, Gaurika Sharma and Dhan Tejas entered to play as Param, Karan and Yuvi after leap.
In July 2021, it was announced that the show would take a leap of 16 years and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia will play the role of her daughter Seher. It was officially confirmed with the release of the promo showing the 16 year leap with new characters Mahir Pandhi and Varun Toorkey, whereas the exit of Avinesh Rekhi, Anita Raj and other supporting actors.[9] Actors Shehzada Dhami and Adhik Mehta roped to play as adult Param and Karan.[10] However, Anita Raj and Mansi Sharma returned as Kulwant Kaur and Harleen Gill in late 2021 and then few more supporting actors came back in January/February 2022.
In December 2021, Shehzada Dhami quit the show and Vineet Raina replaces him.[11][12] In February 2022, Raina too quit and was replaced by Hitanshu Jinsi.[13]
In March 2022, it was announced that Nimrit Ahluwalia is leaving the show due to her health issues and Mahir Pandhi is leaving too.[14] Amandeep Sidhu announced to play the role of Mannat Kaur[15] and Dishank Arora, Salman Shaikh was approached to play Zoravar Singh, new male lead of the show, but Gaurav S Bajaj replaced them. In late March 2022, it was announced that Hitanshu Jinsi is quitting the show.[16]
Filming
The production and airing of the show was halted indefinitely in late March 2020 due to the coronavirus outbreak.[17] The filming resumed after three months and the show started airing again on 13 July 2020.[18][19] During the break, the main actors Rekhi, Ahluwalia and Tak shot a few episodes from their homes during the nationwide lockdown which streamed under Lockdown Special Episodes on Colors TV's official digital platform Voot.[20]
The production was halted for few days from 1 September 2020 after Krishna Soni tested positive for coronavirus.[21]
Cancellation
In early May 2022, it was announced that Choti Sarrdaarni will telecast its last episode on 27 May 2022 but it didn't. Then on 10 June 2022, it telecasted its last episode.
