Television actor Mohit Raina seems to have become synonymous to the character of Lord Shiva playing it commendably in Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, as he has also been appointed to reprise this role in Star Plus’ magnum opus Mahabharat, produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary. Mohit says it feels great to be part of this epic series.

An excited Mohit said, “It feels good to be a part of Mahabharat. I was an avid follower of the original series. So, it was a great opportunity to become part of the ongoing edition. I shot for a few hours and it was a great experience. I wish them all the best.”

Upon being asked if given chance what he would like to act in the historical saga. He averred, “I would like to play Karna because, the complexities of this character intrigues me. He is commonly perceived as the anti-hero yet he did everything like the real hero of a story. From being a suta putra to becoming the king of Angad and the realisation of his lineage -- that he is the eldest Pandava -- he bore all his curses with elan and roared like a lion on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. If it wasn't for the politics and manipulation, he would have remained unbeatable. Hence, it would have been a real challenge to get to play him. Also, some people think after Shiva, I'm an ideal Karna.”

Hope you fulfill you desire one day Mohit!
