Ekhane Akash Neel(translation:Here, the sky is blue) is a Bengali medical drama series which aired at 7:30 PM on the free-to-air channel STAR Jalsha. The serial is set in a nursing home, and is themed on the love between Dr. Ujaan Chatterjee (Rishi Kaushik), a respected and talented young doctor, and Hiya (Aparajita Ghosh Das), a who is the central actress of the drama.
The male protagonist Dr. Ujan Chatterjee (Rishi Kaushik) , an Oncologist by profession who lost his best friend and mentor, his mother when he was barely a boy and grew into an egotistic, rude, solitary man who preferred to remain cocooned in his own world, welcomed solitude to the point of extremity that he shunned out his own father and considered him an intruder. After successful completion of his medical studies in UK, he returned home and joined the 'Tulip' Nursing Home in Kolkata where once his father Dr. Amolendu Chatterjee (Dr. B. D. Mukherjee)-the renowned Neurologist, used to work and was one of the pillars of its growth. After passing away of Dr. Richard O'Brien, the founder of the Nursing Home, his wife, Elina (Saswati Guha Thakurta), took over the responsibilities of running 'Tulip'and subsequently handed over charge of Tulip to her competent & efficient doctor-duo Dr. Moynak (Saswata Chatterjee) & Dr. Shomoresh Ganguly (Arindam Sil) and moved to the hills.
Ujan joined Tulip and came to be known as one of the best surgeons of Kolkata. The Nursing Home was small; its facilities were limited; but it was one of the most reliable places in the city because of its dedicated staff and professionally advanced Doctors. One day, in one of his solitary jaunts, to be with himself, Ujan went to Kurseong where, he saved a person's life by giving him timely medical treatment. The news spread in that sleepy little hill station. The priest of the local Church was Friend-Philosopher-Guide to Elina and in search of a Doctor, he heard of Ujan’s feat and took him to Elina who had suddenly fallen seriously ill.
Ujan decided to shift Elina to Tulip as he found her in a pretty bad physical condition and in need of an immediate and complicated surgery—neither the patient nor the young Doctor realized that they and their families knew each other since years. Elina had two daughters: her biological daughter, Annie (June Malia) and her adopted daughter, Hiya (Aparajita Ghosh Das). Ujan first sighted Hiya in Kurseong when she was running in the hills with her kid friends and incidentally singing (a la Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music) his mother’s song. They had a tiff later when Hiya's gang of buddies were taking a feel of Ujan’s Binocular and as usual, he did not like that. What attracted Ujan towards Hiya was her beautiful voice. He found his mother in Hiya's songs, because his Maa was a prolific singer and "full of life" – which is what was mesmerising about Hiya. In Kolkata, Elina's condition did not immediately improve even after the surgery; and as Hiya was lonely without her 'Monima'(Elina), she came to Kolkata to be with her and then as if a magic happened: Elina started to respond to the treatment.
