== Plot ==

Dr. Deepika Sinha, a beacon of dedication and passion for medicine, has gracefully assumed the role of Chief Resident at F.M.S Hospital. Her unwavering commitment to her profession has led her to leave behind the comforts of family and love. Tasked with guiding a team of junior residents – the spirited Abhay, vivacious Sia, scholarly Piroz, and ambitious Wasim – Dr. Sinha's journey unfolds amidst a tapestry of dreams, challenges, and unexpected connections.

Abhay, nursing a complex resentment towards his father, aspires to become a Cardiothoracic surgeon. Sia, a lively heiress, dreams of becoming a plastic surgeon. Piroz, a medical prodigy yearning for companionship, has yet to decide on his specialization. Wasim, hailing from humble origins, seeks to dispel judgments quickly formed and dreams of establishing a clinic in his slum.

Amid the collaborative efforts of this diverse team, Dr. Sinha forges deep connections, especially with Abhay, who finds himself captivated by her. As the hospital establishes an Emergency department, Dr. Sinha is confronted with her past when her ex-fiancé, Dr. Vikrant Saxena, assumes the role of ER head. A tumultuous affair ensues, causing ripples of discomfort, especially for Aditi, Vikrant's wife.

Despite the emotional turmoil, Deepika navigates through the complexities of her personal and professional life. Aditi's tragic demise becomes a turning point, with Vikrant blaming Deepika and suffering from PTSD. A new friendship blossoms between Deepika and Nikhil Sardesai, a patient who aids in restoring her lost confidence. The duo's camaraderie evolves, leading Deepika to become the new ER head.

As relationships intertwine and evolve, Deepika decides to take a chance on love with Nikhil, juggling the delicate balance between work and personal life. Vikrant, burdened by guilt, eventually leaves his medical career. Abhay and Wasim embark on new paths, while Piroz finds love in Isha, a fellow resident. Sia discovers solace in Dr. Sameer Roy after failed relationships.

With the arrival of new residents and the recovery of Vikrant, the story unfolds with resilience and determination. Deepika, overcoming hurdles, efficiently manages the ER. Letting go of her past, she embraces a fresh start, culminating in a joyous union with Nikhil. Their marriage becomes a celebration of resilience, inspiring those around them to pursue and achieve their dreams. The show concludes with a jubilant dance, symbolizing triumph over challenges and the enduring spirit of pursuing one's aspirations.

==Production==
===Development===
''Dhadkan'' is a spin-off of the 2002 series [[Dhadkan (TV series)|of the same name]]. The series was initially planned with 65 episodes, but later was extended by ten more episodes, for a total of 75 episodes till 4 March.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/television-show-dhadkan-zindaggi-kii-to-go-off-air/articleshow/89996773.cms|title=Television show 'Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii' to go off air |website=The Times of India|date=4 March 2022 }}</ref>

=== Casting ===
[[Additi Gupta]], [[Rohit Purohit]] and Vidyut Xavier were cast as the leads. In May 2021, [[Ashwin Mushran]] and Kaushik Chakravorty were confirmed to be cast in main roles. Later that month, Alma Hussein, Raghav Dhirr and Nishant Singh joined the cast.

During the latter part of the show, Meghna Kukreja, [[Sid Makkar]] and Krishna Shetty joined the show in pivotal roles.

=== Training ===
{{blockquote|"It's intriguing and thrilling. When I started working on 'Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii', it was not easy, unlike some of my earlier shows here things have to be kept quite natural and subtle. It had to look like we're doctors and not actors who are playing the role of doctors. So, basically it was challenging, medical terms were difficult, also how dealing with a patient needs to look authentic was tough."|[[Rohit Purohit]]<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/in-the-doc-rohit-purohit-on-how-he-got-medical-terms-right-for-dhadkan-zindaggi-kii/articleshow/88406864.cms|title=In The Doc: Rohit Purohit on how he got medical terms right for 'Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii' |website=The Times of India|date=21 December 2021 }}</ref>}}

{{blockquote|"It gives a lot of scope to experiment since it's an unconventional show. Plus, we are expected to do surgical procedures, learn the medical terms. The script is supervised by actual doctors, so it's hundred per cent authentic. It's challenging to make all of it a part of your act. But how boring it will be if there are no challenges? I'm loving every bit of it,"|Niranjan Namjoshi}}

=== Filming ===
[[Principal photography]] commenced in June 2021 with the lead actors in Mumbai.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.abplive.com/videos/entertainment/dhadkan-zindaggi-kii-cast-bid-farewell-hot-news-1510236|title='Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii' cast bid farewell &#124; Hot News|date=1 February 2022|website=news.abplive.com}}</ref>
