Launch on October 5, 2021, Star Plus’ Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin has clocked 200 successful episodes. Its intriguing storyline powered by terrific performances from the entire cast made the show an instant hit with the audience. Produced by Cockcrow Entertainment and Shaika Films, Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin is currently one of the top-rated fiction properties on Indian television. It stars Neil Bhatt, Ayesha Singh, and Aishwarya Sharma in principal roles.
Elated Neil Bhatt says, “It just feels like yesterday when we began shooting. I am glad that the show has completed 200 episodes. I am so happy. It is the number one show on TV at this point in time. We have a very good team and that is why we could achieve this number. As a team, we gel really well. In fact, recently we were discussing us having completed 100 episodes and now we complete the 200th today. I think time just flies when you have the right kind of people to work with. This beautiful journey has given me a lot of special moments; the day I was signed to play Virat Chavan remains etched in my heart and there has been no looking back ever since. I would like to thank Star Plus, producers, and my Creative Team as they have shown immense faith in me as an actor. The show has challenged me and brought out the versatility in me as an actor. Not many artists get such a brilliant opportunity on the small screen. Lastly, I would like to say that I feel blessed as none of this would have been possible without the love and support of my fans. My heartfelt thanks to all of them.”
Ayesha Singh says, “As Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin clocks yet another landmark, I cannot help but feel nostalgic and grateful for the journey we have traversed until now. It has been an all-around team effort which makes this show so very special. It continues to be a fantastic journey that has allowed me to explore myself as an actor. The entire cast brings so much to the table as artists which translate beautifully on screen. I feel blessed & grateful to be a part of such a show which has a brilliant team of actors, writers, technicians, and crew members who work together to bring forth a fabulous story. Lastly a heartfelt thanks to all the Fans, Fan Clubs, Fan Pages, and Viewers who have been constantly loving us in between the ups and downs and like I always say keep the love coming in.”
Actress Aishwarya Sharma says, “The journey on Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin has been phenomenal. Our entire team works day in and day out to ensure that every episode continues to entertain the audiences. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fans of the show for their unconditional love and support for the show. It feels like yesterday that we started and today we have completed 200 episodes. The journey has been full of love and hope it continues to be the same.

A 19th-century painting in Wiesbaden sees a massive visitor surge.
Fans spotted a direct link to the opening shot of The Fate of Ophelia.
Museum staff were completely caught off guard by the 'Swiftie' invasion.
They are now planning special tours to capitalise on the unexpected fame.
The question on everyone's mind: did Taylor Swift visit this place herself?
It is not every day a quiet German museum gets caught in a pop culture hurricane. But that is exactly what has happened at Museum Wiesbaden, where a painting of Shakespeare’s Ophelia has become a pilgrimage site. The reason? Taylor Swift’s latest music video for The Fate of Ophelia kicks off with a scene that looks ripped straight from their gallery wall. Suddenly, they have queues of fans where usually there is just quiet contemplation.

How did this Ophelia painting become so popular?
To be honest, it was simply hanging there. Friedrich Heyser’s work from about 1900. It is lovely, sure, but it was not a headline act. Then the video drops. And you see it immediately in the pose, the white dress, and the water lilies. It is practically a direct copy or, let us say, an homage. Fans on social media connected the dots in hours. Now the museum cannot believe its luck. Visitor numbers went from a few dozen admirers to hundreds, just over one weekend, like a whole new crowd for a century-old painting.
What has the museum said about the surprise attention?
They are thrilled, but a bit stunned. A spokesperson said it was a "shock" and they are having an "absolute Ophelia run." Can you blame them? One minute you are managing a classical collection, the next you are at the centre of a global fan phenomenon. They tried to reach Swift’s team, but they had no luck there. But they have leaned into it completely. Now they are organising a special "Ophelia reception" with guided tours. Smart move, right? It is a perfect storm of high art and pop star power, and they are riding the wave.
The big question: did Taylor Swift actually visit?
This is the real mystery, is not it? How did this specific painting, in this specific German museum, end up as the template for a mega-budget video? The staff are wondering the same thing. She was in Germany for the Eras tour last July. Did she slip in, incognito? Did a location scout send a photo? The museum thinks they would have noticed if Taylor Swift was wandering their halls. Who knows? It is the sort of stuff that feeds fan speculation for years. Whatever the facts, the painting's life has been irreversibly altered.
