Actor Sourabh Raaj Jain, who has essayed the role of Krishna in Mahabharat and Vishnu in Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev feels that having portrayed mythological characters hasn't helped in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Mahkaal Anth Hi Aarambh Hai.
While talking about it, he says, “On the contrary, it was even more difficult for me since I have played Vishnu and Krishna before and was accepted well by the audience. It was tough to break that image and play the complete opposite – Shiva. For an actor to first be accepted as Krishna and then to portray Shiva is a rare opportunity and I thank Swastik for doing this,” he says.
The show has topped the TRP charts and Sourabh couldn’t have been happier. “Although I don't tend to put my energy on TRPs, it feels great that our hard work and the thought behind the show is resonating with the audience,” he says. After sharing the screen in Mahabharat, Sourabh is once again acting alongside actor Pooja Sharma. “It’s an honour to work with Pooja again. She is exceptionally talented and a genuine human being,” he says. Ask him if he is a devotee of Shiva and he says, “I am a seeker and I seek from every possible source.” Being part of a mythological show can be challenging and Sourabh makes sure to de-stress. “I read books. Currently, I'm reading Shiva sutras by Sukh Bodh Ananda and also listen to music. I also like to travel as and when I can,” he says.
