'''''Ayushmaan''''' is a [[Hindi language]] [[Indian television]] serial on [[Sony Entertainment Television (India)|Sony TV]] (Global), which aired from 2 August 2004 to 19 May 2005. It is the story of a child medical genius. The series used to air from Monday to Thursday at 8:30pm.

==Plot summary==
The popular soap was the story of a teenager whose carefree adolescence is pitted against the responsibilities that his medical profession demands from him. It later leads to heart-rending conflicts. It is based on a true child prodigy who became a qualified doctor at the age of 17.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.setsyndication.com/show.php?l=1&c=43&s=29 | title=Ayushmaan | publisher=setsyndication.com | accessdate=24 April 2012}}</ref>

Trying to blend in, Ayushmaan pretends to be a poor student in school barely scraping through in his examinations. He spends his time playing basketball with his two close friends, Sonia (a carefree tomboy girl) and Rohit (a free-spirited boy from a rich family). His medical knowledge is revealed when he helps deliver a child in an emergency. The dean of a renowned hospital, Dr. Sunaina Seth, recognizes his talent and forces him to acknowledge and accept his strengths. From here begins his journey of self-realization and he becomes the youngest qualified doctor. The blessings of his mother give him an optimistic outlook to life. Being a practicing doctor, Ayushmaan remains a teenager at heart but everything turns topsy-turvy when he falls in love with another doctor who is senior to him. He struggles to strike a balance between his professional and personal life.

The plot, however, shifted focus from Ayushmaan's life as a medical prodigy after just 50 episodes and went on to trace Ayushmaan's romantic relationships moving from Tani to Sonia to Kavya. In the later stages, Ayushmaan's brother Bodhi is introduced First shown as [[autistic]], he turned out to be the antagonist at the end of the show.

==Controversy==
As the wonder doctor and protagonist in ''Ayushmaan'', actor [[Vinod Singh]] was forced to make an exit from the show in November 2004. This was after he allegedly bashed up a studio hand during an ''Ayushmaan'' shoot at the Cinevistaas studio in Kanjur Marg. He had taken offence when a helper from the neighbouring set brushed past his co-star Tani (Neha Mehta). The channel had described his action as "unfortunate" and said they "did not subscribe to such behaviour." Later, [[Sudeep Sahir]] played the role of Ayushmaan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k4/november/24nov/ayushman-old.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100829190458/http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k4/november/24nov/ayushman-old.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 August 2010 |title='Aayushman' kicked out of serial |publisher=Telly Chakkar |accessdate=25 April 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20041212/spectrum/tv.htm | title=Vinod Singh’s exit from Aayushman disappoints | publisher=tribuneindia.com | accessdate=25 April 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060407/asp/etc/story_6051529.asp | title=Idiot box egoes | publisher=telegraphindia.com | accessdate=25 April 2012 | location=Calcutta, India | date=7 April 2006}}</ref>
