Production
The show was first named Adhura Alvida but was later renamed Bepannaah.[8]
The show was delayed because of a fire that broke out on the sets, due to which a 20-year old technician died. It was reported that the fire fighting system at the studio was not working and the studio failed to get their fire safety system checked and provide an annual certificate to the fire department. Hence, the shooting was put on-hold until proper fire safety system was put in place.[9]
