It’s a compelling love triangle challenged by unforeseeable threats, and it’s shot in scenic locales of Mussoorie, Dehradun and Mumbai. We are extremely excited about collaborating with COLORS for a story that touches upon the perpetuity of forbidden love and the definitions of wrong and right in a world that's different from ours.

Elated to be essaying the role of angry-young-macho-man Veer, romantic heart-throb Karan Kundrra with tears in his eyes says, “My real-life ishq (referring to girlfriend Tejasswi) is already known to you. What an absolute visual-spectacular delight it is to make a comeback to the fiction genre with a magical-intensity mesmerizing show like Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal! And that too in an enthralling romantic fantasy genre. Werewolves are fascinating creatures of folklore and I'm excited to embody one, who is hell-bent on getting what he wants. I'm looking forward to being seen in a whole new avatar for this show. All my previous collaborations with (COLORS which has mastered this genre) have been fruitful and loved by the viewers and I hope we're blessed with the same love for this show.

Excited to play Armaan, star- actor GashmeerMahajani says, “The prospect of enlivening a romantic fantasy feels wonderful and adventurous because it's a genre I hadn't explored until now. In real life Ishq is when you can understand each other (romantic partners) without even saying a single word, just comfortable silence but with facial expression and looking into each other’s eyes. The show is premised on a story that has something for everyone. The part that I’m playing required me to look more muscular and use a deeper voice and sinewy body language that make my portrayal distinctive. Not only will I get to test my own mettle as an actor in this fantasy drama, but my fans will also get to see me in a completely new avatar of a werewolf."

As the gorgeous character Eisha, TV star Reem Sameer Shaikh who has experienced some eerie (daraavna) experiences in real-lifesays, “I stepped into the world of acting with COLORS and I'm grateful that Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal marks my homecoming to the channel. For me love and ishq is more of an intense dosti-friendship and not just superficial romance. OLt here, I will be seen playing the part of Eisha, who's a bright and brave girl fighting powers that are beyond her control.  It’s a unique romantic triangle with no negative stereotyped villains She maintains v-log diaries as an outlet to express her feelings and she's on to a mystery that's about to be unraveled. We are confident that that the show will maximum merit the love of home-viewers.”
