First Season Storyline
It started off with 5 interns: Armaan Mallik, Riddhima Gupta, Anjali Gupta, Atul Joshi & Sapna Shah entering Sanjeevani Hospital. Anjali and Riddhima are sisters and daughters of the very famous and head of Sanjeevani: Dr. Shashank Gupta. On the first day itself, Armaan and Riddhima hate each other but unfortunately or fotunately, they are paired up to work together on a case. Like this, the story develops and all of them become good friends. Armaan starts liking Riddhima; Atul falls for Anjali and Sapna for Shubhankar. But in all these love stories, there are many complications and the story goes up and down in the backdrop of the hospitals.
Riddhima finds out that she is adopted and her real mother is Sister Padma Bhansal (head nurse of Sanjeevani). This news shocks her and for some time she is absolutely confused. Armaan consoles her and they develop friendship and half-way to love. Then two new interns: Dr. Rahul Grewal and Dr. Muskaan Chadha enter to brighten up the story. At first, there is a love square between Armaan, Riddhima, Rahul and Muskaan but slowly problems start to sort out and all of them go their own ways. Sapna leaves Sanjeevani because of her marriage to a patient - she finds out that Shubhankar is not the right man for her and she was merely infatuated with him.
Dr. Keerti and Shubhankar get married while the rest of them fall in love. Next entry of Dr. Nikita Malhotra and Dr. Abhimanyu Modi. Since Sanjeevani's financial condition at that point of the story was not good, Dr. Abhimanyu Modi takes over the hospital from Dr. Shashank. All the interns hate him and try to play tricks on him to leave etc. but none of these work and they have to bear him. Slowly Abhi and Niki start falling in love and finally everyone has got their life partner except Rahul and Muskaan because Rahul finds out he cannot be a father, he leaves Muskaan forever. But the story cannot end like that. Preparations of Armaan and Riddhima are taking place when Armaan has an accident and loses his memory of 2 years. This is a big shock to everyone and mostly to Riddhima. He rememebers nothing about Sanjeevani, his career, his friends and mostly the girl he loved the most: Riddhima. All of the interns try to hide this but eventually he finds out about everything that happened in the 2 years of his life and once again starts loving Riddhima and proposes her again.
