Seventeen years ago, a youth-based show changed the mood of Indian television. ‘Miley Jab Hum Tum’, which first aired on 22 September 2008, brought a new wave of fun, romance, and campus drama into people’s living rooms.
This week, actor Mohit Sehgal, who played the stylish and charming Samrat, looked back at those days with a special social media post.
Mohit shared a nostalgic picture featuring the cast and wrote, “17 years of Miley Jab Hum Tum” with a red heart emoji. He also tagged his co-stars Arjun Bijlani, Sanaya Irani, Rati Pandey, Jaskaran Singh, Abhishek Sharma, and Navina Bole.
When ‘Miley Jab Hum Tum’ premiered on Star One, it quickly became a favourite among youngsters. Produced by Sunshine Productions, the story revolved around the students of Excel College, their friendships, love stories, and the challenges of youth. The characters felt real and relatable.

The show gave television two much-loved couples: Samrat and Gunjan, played by Mohit Sehgal and Sanaya Irani, and Mayank and Nupur, played by Arjun Bijlani and Rati Pandey.
One of the sweetest things that fans still remember is how Mohit Sehgal and Sanaya Irani’s reel romance blossomed into real love. The two fell for each other during the shoot, dated for several years, and eventually tied the knot in 2016.
For many viewers, their relationship became a fairytale that started with ‘Miley Jab Hum Tum’.
Back in 2008, most shows were heavy on family drama. ‘Miley Jab Hum Tum’ broke the pattern by focusing on youth, friendships, and college life.
