The film starred Joy Mukherjee, who was cast in films where the hero was required to perform the Shammi Kapoor style of acting. Though he did not achieve Kapoor's fame and popularity, he acted in several films with good music and popular songs recorded in Mohammed Rafi's voice. Yeh Zindagi Kitni Haseen Hai is cited as one of his "major" films.[3] Saira Banu played the lead female role, where she is shown upholding "Indian morals" by refusing to wear a swimsuit for the Miss Universe contest.[4] Besides this film, Saira had acted in two other film in 1966, Saaz Aur Awaaz and Pyar Mohabbat. The films "failed to make an impact" for Saira as an actress that year.[5] Co-stars included Motilal, Sayeeda Khan, Shyam Chatterji, Badri Prasad and Madan Kumar as "William".

The story involved a princess played by Saira Banu on the run from a restrictive and protected environment at home. She joins a beauty contest and meets the hero played by Joy Mukherjee, with whom she falls in love.
