Today, on August 26, we celebrate Janmashtami, a special festival that marks the birth of Lord Krishna. As people all over the country honor this important day, television actors Nitish Bharadwaj and Sourabh Raaj Jain have shared their deep experiences of playing Lord Krishna in the famous show Mahabharat.
Nitish Bharadwaj, who became well-known for his role as Lord Krishna in BR Chopra’s Mahabharat, talked about how playing this divine character changed his life. In an interview with ETimes TV, the veteran actor said, “When you play a character, it usually ends when the show is over, but learning from Lord Krishna’s teachings is something that stays with you for life. It’s important to understand and live by the values and principles that Krishna stood for.”
Nitish Bharadwaj is still celebrated for his outstanding performance in the legendary Mahabharat, a show that remains unforgettable to its viewers. Reflecting on his time on the show, Nitish expressed his gratitude, saying that playing Lord Krishna was a blessing that had a deep influence on his life.
Similarly, Sourabh Raaj Jain, who played Lord Krishna in the 2013-2014 remake of Mahabharat, shared how this role also transformed his life. Like Nitish, Sourabh described the opportunity to play Lord Krishna as a blessing that brought him immense love and appreciation from fans.
Sourabh humbly mentioned that the admiration he receives is not really for him but for the divine character he portrayed. He said, “I was just a medium, an actor who folded his hands before every scene to give it the purity it needed. It was truly inspiring for me.”
For those who may not know, Sourabh Raaj Jain was part of the successful Mahabharat series, which also starred Shaheer Sheikh, Pooja Sharma, and other talented actors. His portrayal of Lord Krishna deeply connected with viewers, leaving a lasting impact that continues to earn admiration and respect.
As we celebrate Janmashtami, the reflections of these actors remind us of the timeless wisdom and teachings of Lord Krishna and how playing such a divine character can leave a lasting impact not only on the audience but also on the actors themselves.
