UIImageView *BgImage=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"cell-bg.png"]];
BgImage.frame=cell.frame;
//label which will be on image
UILabel *NameLAbel=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(25, 5, 45, 45)];

[BgImage addSubview:NameLAbel];
//adding image on cell
[cell.contentView addSubview:BgImage];

I'm not sure if you can actually add a UILabel to an UIImageView, although they are both UIView subclasses, I think the imageview will only display the image.
try adding the label to cell.contentView after you've added the image to the view. That should achieve the affect you are after.
Either that, or create of UIView which will hold both the UIImageView and the UILabel

Adding some UI widget as a subview of a UIImageView sounds really questionable. Even if it works now it may not work in the future, and I believe this breaks the UIKit convention. If you want to make one view look like it is "part of" another view, place the two as siblings, either directly in the cell.contentView as Amit noted, or if you want clipping so that the label looked like it was being clipped by the image, create a UIView container, enable the "clip subviews" setting of that view, and place the UIImageView and UILabel as siblings within that container UIView.
