The cast consists of debutants Pearl V Puri and Asmita Sood along with Suyyash Rai and Ayub Khan.

Producer Saurabh Tewary while explaining the uniqueness of ‘Badtameez Dil’ says, “We have used non-linear story line in the show. The story keeps switching between lead actors’ life in the past and present. The scripting process was more difficult than the actual shooting.”

Suyyash Rai has no qualms admitting that he has chosen ‘Badtameez Dil’ over ‘Nach Baliye 7’. Talented actor who plays Abeer’s best friend Nasir, says, “Nach Baliye 7 is only for few months while a musical love story like ‘Badtameez Dil’ is more beneficial in the longer run.” Suyyash is happy to receive compliments for his stylized look and informs us that, “I don’t have any fashion icon but I like Ranveer Singh’s dressing style.” Actor has also turned singer for this show and lent his voice for one of the 8 original songs to be used in the show.

Ravishing Asmita Sood is elegance personified. She admits that after doing south movies it took bit of a persuasion from Saurabh Tewary for her to accept the lead role as ‘Meher’. Meher who is a head of a channel, in the show is a self-made woman very much like Asmita in real life. Also, television’s maximum reach made the offer more tempting for this lovely lady.

Handsome lad from Agra, Pearl V Puri, with a big smile confesses that it’s like a dream come true for him to play the lead in Saurabh Tewary’s production. A musician in real life, Pearl is happy that he got a chance to express his passion for singing and creating music through his character Abeer. Music is a common factor which connects Pearl to his reel character Abeer.

Ayub Khan looking dapper in formals joined the team little late but was warmly greeted by everyone. Ayub is back to what he does best by playing Daddy to hero! Ayub who plays ‘Kuber’, Abeer’s father shares his thoughts by saying “More than the movie, we tend to remember certain moments from it. Surabh has created such moments with ‘Badtameez Dil’.”

With its ultra modern sets, fresh new talents and distinctive storyline added with original soundtrack is made keeping in mind the young viewers. But as producer Saurabh Tewary insists, “Any love story told with fresh perspective can be appealing to all generation.”

‘Badtameez Dil’ is going on air from 29th June 2015, Monday to Friday at 8pm on Star Plus.
