Dil Mil Gaye, which started out as a serial depicting the struggles and efforts of people involved in the medical profession, is now turning out to be another Hindi serial in terms of twists and turns. So, a long time back, there was the perfect romantic couple of Dr. Armaan and Dr. Riddhima, but they had to break up, and the characters left the show, with a new set of characters in the show. One of the most prominent one was Dr. Siddhant (played by Karan Wahi); the serial makers must have figured that the ones whom the viewers voted as the most popular ones were Dr. Riddhima and Dr. Armaan, so first they brought in Dr. Riddhima. In true filmy style, Dr. Riddhima did not like Dr. Siddhant, but he liked her. And then came the time when he had to save her from dying of cold, and the way he did this was something that she detested. However, they got married because of family pressure and honor, and then she tried suicide. This caused Dr. Siddhant to get very negative about her, and finally tell her that he detested her. All these were incidents that made the serial become a very dramatic type of Hindi Serial.
And now for something that is even more dramatic, the re-entry of Dr. Armaan into the serial. He does not know about the marriage between Dr. Sid and Dr. Riddhima, and seems to think that Dr. Riddhima is still his love, and waiting for him. Dr. Siddhant knows about the earlier love between Dr. Armaan and Dr. Riddhima, and does not tell him about the marriage, although the other interns at the hospital feel that he should know the truth.
Hindi Serial – Sasural Genda Phool – an unusual marriage between 2 people of different backgrounds

Nowadays, many Hindi serials are adopting names derived from Hindi Films. If you a remember a movie starring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor, set in Delhi, and called Delhi 6, there was a song in the movie called ‘Sasural Genda Phool’. The serial is set about a marriage between 2 very different people, and different settings. So far the serial has remained light, and is a comedy.
The serial appears on Star Plus, and started on March 1, 2010, and so far is relatively new.
The serial has 2 main characters (along with their family members and and friends).
Suhana (Ragini Khanna)
IShaan (Jai Soni)
Suhana is a more carefree and spirited girl, who has rejected people who have come for her marriage, to the dismay of her parents. Her family is modern, and can easily suffer her tantrums. They live in a large house, and have a lot of servants to take care of any of their needs.
Ishaan, on the other hand, is from a normal middle class family with some conservative feelings, living as part of a joint family, and working in an IT company. They meet a couple of time in different situations, with Ishaan ending up helping her, but Ishaan is one of the last people who Suhana would ever think that she would be associated with.
Ishaan starts liking Suhaana ever since he comes in contact with her, even though it would seem apparent that they have nothing in common, whether it be their different interests, or different class backgrounds. What happens next ?
Older Hindi TV serials – Sanjivani on Star Plus – an older medical serial
By Ashish On March 18, 2010 in Character, Drama, Hindi Serial, Star Plus, TV
At any point of time, there can be one or more serials showing on TV that are based on the medical fraternity (with the serials being set on hospitals, on the life of doctors, and on the love life and relationships between them). One of the serials that used to come earlier was known as Sanjivani, coming on Star Plus, in the years 2002-2005. It was a precursor of the later serial, ‘Dil Mil Gaye’ (that is now coming on Star One). The full name of the serial is Sanjivani – A Medical Boon.
The serial was based on 4 main characters, Juhi, Rahul, Simran and Omi, who are interns in the beginning, having joined the hospital. The medical profession is a demanding profession, with all sorts of people in it, and the serial shows the pressures and demands that the medical profession puts on these 4 characters and the people around them, and how they deal with it and mature (including adding their own context to the people around them). The link of the serial on the Star Utsav site is this link.
The cast of the serial is:
Dr. Juhi Singh/Mehra (played by Gurdeep Kohli) – wife of Dr. Rahul Mehra
Dr. Rahul Mehra (played by Gaurav Chanana / Mihir Mishra) – husband of Dr. Juhi Singh
Dr. Umesh ‘Omi’ Joshi (played by Sanjeet Bedi) – in love with Chitra
Dr. Simran Chopra/ Mehra (played by Shilpa Kadam / Rupali Ganguly) – first wife of Dr. Rahul Mehra
