Sanjivani - Ek Doctor Ki Zindagi Ka Doosra Pehlu (the other side of a doctor’s life), sums up all about the subject on which extensive research has been carried out to bring the aspects and dimensions of a doctor’s life as close to reality as possible. Through the perspectives of four new interns who are fresh and being initiated into the medical profession.

The zealous starcast consists of enthusiastic newcomers Sanjeet Bedi, Gaurav Chanana, Gurdeep Kohli, Shilpa Kadam who portray the four young interns. Supporting them are versatile veterans like Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Mohnish Behl, Rajeev Verma, Smita Jaykar, Daisy Irani, Yusuf Hussain, Kamini Kaushal, Sumeer Raghavan, Payal Nair, Salim Shah and others.

At Sanjivani, it’s believed that the process of convalescing should be happy. Like the Sanjivani booti, it should give a new hope, a new lease of life to all who are a part of it. The dilemmas of doctors, their hopes, their aspirations, their interpersonal relationships, the effects, demands and influences made by their profession on their personal life, how their experiences enrich their lives and help them evolve as human beings are reflected and highlighted with the hospital as the backdrop. The relationship between doctors as colleagues, between two or more patients, between doctors and patients, the bonds they form not due to blood relations but merely because they have been brought together out of necessity and circumstantial need have been emphasized and accentuated. Telecast every Wednesday at 9 pm, Sanjivani is produced by Prem Kishan and Sunil Mehta. It is being directed by Kaushik Ghatak.
