Training[edit]
Playing a doctor is truly a challenging task. It’s not easy on any level but it does help when you have proper guidance from the real experts. For Sanjivani, we have real doctors visiting the sets and helping us in terms of body language, basic medical terms and things like how a doctor wears gloves, checks the blood pressure of a patient and the right way to hold a stethoscope. We will be showcasing different medical cases along with the dramatic element on the show. I would like to express my profound gratitude to all the medical experts who have helped us to better our performances in Sanjivani.
— Surbhi Chandna[20]
I watched four or five seasons of Grey's Anatomy. It gave me the visual understanding of the insides of the hospital. Sanjivani and Grey's are different shows. I was looking for body language while doing the surgery. I was not for looking something to copy but it took me to their world. Apart from Grey's I also watched The Residents. There were a few things that were good to see, which will remain in my subconscious mind to implement at some time.
Reception[edit]
The Times of India said, “Sanjivani has a fresh feel, stylish look and quite a colourful touch.”[22]
Hindustan Times noted, “Namit Khanna and Surbhi Chandna promise to do justice to the show’s reputation in the first glimpse itself.”[23]
The New Indian Express quoted the series as “Old ailment, new treatment.”[24]
India Today stated, “The show has a fresh pairing of Surbhi Chandna and Namit Khanna. It's fun watching them bicker. Mohnish Behl as Dr. Shashank brings back memories from original Sanjivani and why we've loved him over the years. Actor Rohit Roy's character adds that much-needed spice in the show.”[25]
