Exclusive – Sourabh Raaj Jain opens up about being associated with ‘Shree Krishna' post the success of Mahabharat; says, 'People greet me with folded hands'
In an exclusive chat with TOI TV, Sourabh recalled the success of Mahabharat and spoke about how he's still associated with 'Shree Krishna.'
Sourabh revealed that people still greet him with great respect and address him as 'Shree Krishna,' and that's something he cherishes a lot. The actor also spoke about his new show and how he's excited for fans to witness him in a new light.
He shared, 'It's incredibly humbling. There's a kind of emotional and spiritual connection that comes with playing Krishna and that doesn't fade with time.
When people still greet me with folded hands or call me 'Krishna ji,' it reminds me of the impact a role can have beyond the screen. It's a gift, and I carry it with gratitude.'
The actor further shared, 'That association is a blessing. Being remembered as Krishna is something I will always cherish. But I also feel grateful that audiences have allowed me to evolve. With every new character, I try to bring a different shade of myself.

It's not about undoing the past; it's about expanding the canvas. I hope Raghav will connect with viewers in a completely different, more human way.'
Talking about his new show, Sourabh said, 'Tu Dhadkan Main Dil is not your typical television drama. It's subtle, emotionally textured, and deeply human. At its heart, it's about a child wanting her parents to be together. She is yet to meet her father and, in the process, even loses her mother. What I love about the show is that it doesn't rely on high-octane drama to make a point. Instead, it draws you in through silences, unspoken emotions, and the quiet healing that love can bring.
Viewers can expect many moments that will make you pause, reflect, and feel.'

Did AR Rahman troll Coldplay for the viral kiss cam scandal during his live concert? Watch viral video
At a recent stop on his Wonderment Tour in Washington, AR Rahman had the audience in splits with a perfectly timed one-liner that many believe was a sly dig at Coldplay's recent kiss cam fiasco. As the camera panned to fans waving and smiling in the crowd at the Tacoma Dome, Rahman paused mid-performance and said with a chuckle, 'I won't get you into trouble. Don't worry.' The remark drew instant applause and laughter, with many in the audience catching on to what seemed like a light-hearted jab at the now-viral Coldplay incident. — ARRahman_News (@ARRahman_News) Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Project Management Operations Management Degree Public Policy Finance Data Analytics Data Science Leadership Product Management healthcare Design Thinking PGDM MBA others Data Science Technology MCA Management Others Cybersecurity Digital Marketing CXO Skills you'll gain: Project Planning & Governance Agile Software Development Practices Project Management Tools & Software Techniques Scrum Framework Duration: 12 Weeks Indian School of Business Certificate Programme in IT Project Management Starts on Jun 20, 2024 Get Details The timing couldn't have been more spot-on. Just days earlier, Coldplay's concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts made headlines for all the wrong reasons. When the kiss cam zoomed in on a couple—later identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot—their affectionate moment was broadcast on the big screen. What looked like a sweet moment turned controversial, sparking rumours of an extramarital affair and ending with Byron's resignation from the company. Even Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin chimed in at the concert, joking, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo About AR Rahman's tour and upcoming work Meanwhile, Rahman's tour continues to garner massive attention, with stops across the US, Canada, and the UK before wrapping up in India.

There isn't one rock'n'roller that Ozzy Osbourne didn't influence: Subir Malik of Parikrama
Collage of Ozzy Osbourne at his last concert and Subir Malik of Parikrama Subir Malik – founder and keyboardist of Parikrama, one of India's most prominent rock bands – says he woke up to the news of Ozzy Osbourns's passing before a red eye flight to Mumbai. "I just couldn't believe it — especially after all the hype of his farewell show at Birmingham. I wanted to be there so badly; I tried to get tickets to the show for days," he said. Malik has always said that the Prince of Darkness was a big musical influence in his life: 'Ozzy was the one of the rebellious bad boys of rock'n'roll that everyone emulated in the Seventies. Ozzy's impact was global, all-pervasive — I don't think there would be any person out there even remotely inclined towards rock'n'roll music, not just as performers, but just listeners, who Ozzy didn't influence. You realise that the creator had a perfect plan for Ozzy's exit. What a guy, and what a way to go!' "Talking about the Back to the Beginning concert, Black Sabbath and Ozzy's last gig on July 6 at Birmingham, Subir said: "It was a perfect example of dying with your boots on, while you're still a rock'n'roller. Not everyone stays that way — a lot of them mellow down with age, and of course, I am not one of them ( laughs ). But even for them, this gig would have rekindled an interest in rock'n'roll, the era from years back. Being an event of such a scale, it must have turned on the next few generations to music.' In a chat with us, Subir traces back his love for Black Sabbath while remembering Ozzy Osbourne . 'I was 13 when I heard Black Sabbath for the first time' The first time I heard Black Sabbath, the original line-up, I must have been in the seventh standard, so about 12-13; an old PRT tape, at the house of my dad's friend. The only introduction to 'guitar music' was from that song sequence in the Rishi Kapoor film, Karz (laughs), and then came Toni Iommi with these crushing riffs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 4BHK Luxury Duplex starting ₹3.60 Cr* The Gardens II, Vadodara 4BHK,The Gardens II Learn More Undo I remember wondering 'How can this guy sing so high?'. It was the same feeling of wonder I had on hearing Eddie van Halen in the mid-80s, and then Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine) later. 'Parikrama was a meeting point between Black Sabbath & The Doors' For me, the first two bands that opened the doors to rock'n'roll were Ozzy , and a totally different-sounding band, The Doors. The round glasses that I have been wearing for the last 35 years, on and off-stage, I carry a little bit of Ozzy and a little bit of (Doors' keyboardist) Ray Manzarek in them. Parikrama was a meeting point between these two bands. We covered Sabbath extensively back in the day — from Paranoid to Crazy Train to Mama I'm Coming Home . The album that really stayed with me was No More Tears .

Ameesha Patel: In a relationship, no one should be a trophy for the other
Ameesha Patel She has portrayed some of the most iconic love stories on screen, from the innocent and charming Sonia in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai to the deeply emotional Sakeena in Gadar. For many movie lovers, Ameesha Patel has set the gold standard for romantic characters. But what does love look like for her in real life? In a chat with Mumbai Mirror, she says, 'My ideal partner should be genuine, loyal, and someone who prioritises our mutual happiness. There must be respect and an understanding of each other's personality and profession. Intellectual compatibility is very important. It should never be about personal gains. No one should be a trophy for the other.' Apart from her much-talked-about comeback in Gadar 2, Ameesha also made headlines for her comments on nepotism, including during her debut award acceptance speech where she spoke about being an outsider in the industry. A clip from that speech recently resurfaced online. She says, 'I didn't start the conversation on nepotism. All I said was that I don't have a godfather. But I have God.' Sharing her thoughts on the insider–outsider dynamic, she says, 'Yes, insiders or star kids have an advantage. They enter the industry better prepared and with more opportunities. But they also carry a heavy burden of expectations. People often forget the pressure they face to live up to the hype of being someone's child, and that's not easy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why! Techno Mag Learn More Undo As an outsider, you do have to work harder, but you also enter without preconceived notions. Ultimately, whether you're an insider or outsider, you need to have that pull, that spark that brings audiences to cinemas. Today, we see many star kids who aren't able to do that. The box office is showing that. So, for us outsiders, it's a big validation to know that audiences are showing up for our films. Both sides come with their own pros and cons.'
