Which is why we’re super excited that Sanjivani is all set to make a comeback, and has members from the original cast as well.

A medical drama that revolved around the lives of four medical interns, the starcast of Sanjivani2 includes Monish Bahl and Gurdeep Kohli from the original team, along with, Namit Khanna, Sayantini, Rohit Roy, and Surbhi Chandna.

When the show first aired in 2002, it immediately became a huge success and even led to the equally popular spinoff Dill Mill Gaye. So yes, we’re legit excited for this reboot.
