Plot summary

The popular soap was the story of a teenager whose carefree adolescence is pitted against the responsibilities that his medical profession demands from him. It later leads to heart-rending conflicts. It is based on a true child prodigy who became a qualified doctor at the age of 17. [1]

Trying to blend in, Ayushmaan pretends to be a poor student in school barely scraping through in his examinations. He spends his time playing basketball with his two close friends, Sonia (a carefree tomboy girl) and Rohit (a free-spirited boy from a rich family). His medical knowledge is revealed when he helps deliver a child in an emergency. The dean of a renowned hospital, Dr. Sunaina Seth, recognizes his talent and forces him to acknowledge and accept his strengths. From here begins his journey of self-realization and he becomes the youngest qualified doctor. The blessings of his mother give him an optimistic outlook to life. Being a practicing doctor, Ayushmaan remains a teenager at heart but everything turns topsy-turvy when he falls in love with another doctor who is senior to him. He struggles to strike a balance between his professional and personal life.

The plot, however, shifted focus from Ayushmaan's life as a medical prodigy after just 50 episodes and went on to trace Ayushmaan's romantic relationships moving from Tani to Sonia to Kavya. In the later stages, Ayushmaan's brother Bodhi is introduced First shown as autistic, he turned out to be the antagonist at the end of the show.

Cast

Controversy

Actor Vinod Singh was forced to make an exit from the show in November 2004. This was after he allegedly bashed up a studio hand during an Ayushmaan shoot at the Cinevistaas studio in Kanjur Marg. He had taken offence when a helper from the neighbouring set brushed past his co-actor Neha Mehta. The channel had described his action as "unfortunate" and said they "did not subscribe to such behaviour." Later, Sudeep Sahir played the role of Ayushmaan. [2] [3]
