Then & Now: The Cast Of Miley Jab Hum Tum Is All Grown Up…10 Years Later

If you find yourself addressing Sanaya Irani and Mohit Sehgal as Gunjan and Samrat till date every time you see a picture of them surface online, then you’re not alone!

Miley Jab Hum Tum had that effect on us. It was one of the coolest shows of its time. It aired on TV from 2008 to 2010. From love, friendship, hate, drama to getting married, the show took us through the journey of college students that kept us glued to our TV screens for two seasons (526 episodes). And we still wanted more, didn’t we?

I still remember singing along the title track of the show. Admit it, we have all had a crush on Samrat and his basketball skills. We have blushed harder than Gunjan every time Samrat got closer to her. Her talkative elder sister Nupur was a little annoying initially, but her chemistry with Mayank was to die for. Dia’s mischiefs, Uday’s silly tactics and Benji’s impeccable comic timing had us all in splits.

Unfortunately, the show never returned with a sequel. But the Excel College memories have stayed with us. In case you’re wondering what the cast is up to now and what they look like after a decade, we’ve got you covered. Check out their then and now pictures and be prepared to be amazed!
