During the show's launch event in Kolkata, speaking about Erica's casting, Ekta had said, "I think this thing is unbelievable and even Erica doesn't know about it. I came for a holiday to Kolkata with 2 of my friends, 2-3 years back. I remember somebody had put up a promo of Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi on Facebook. One of my friends and I saw the promo. And I instantly made a call to someone and asked, 'who's this girl?' They said her name is Erica. I wanted to cast her since the day I saw her in promo. And then I offered her the show as soon as hers ended."
And what promopted her to cast Parth Samthaan? "I saw Parth’s picture and I was like, “This boy... look at the depth in his eyes!” Men don’t have it. These days good looks are all about big biceps, six-pack abs, walking around with a strut and talking about how many women they’ve been with. I mean, come on! You need to have depth. You need to have class. Parth was the Anurag I wanted today," Ekta earlier revealed to Telegraph.
