Exclusive – Sourabh Raaj Jain opens up about being associated with ‘Shree Krishna' post the success of Mahabharat; says, 'People greet me with folded hands'

Time of India21-07-2025
Sourabh Raaj Jain is making a comeback with the new show Tu Dhadkan Main Dil. While the actor has won hearts with many roles in the television industry, he is popularly known for his Mahabharat character of Shree Krishna.
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.'

Mukesh Khanna, who played role of Bhishma Pitamah in Mahabharat, makes shocking revelations about cast of epic serial

Bollywood actor Mukesh Khanna, best known for his portrayal as Bhishma Pitamah, is once again in the headlines for his controversial statement. Actor Mukesh Khanna, who played the lead role in the superhit TV show 'Mahabharata' and the superhero show 'Shaktimaan', has said negative things about his co-stars. What has Mukesh Khanna said? In a conversation with the YouTube channel, VTV Gujarat, recalled how Ravi Chopra himself once said that a man's worth should be judged by the number of affairs he has ever had. Mukesh said, 'I am more interested in my work and not affairs. I still remember what Ravi Chopra said… I laugh about it, it doesn't matter to me, the entire cast of Mahabharata was full of 'chhichhore'. Arjun, Duryodhan, you name it… I was the only one who was different.' Mukesh Khanna further added, Ravi Chopra used to say, 'The man who has the most affairs is the real man. The number of your affairs does not define you as a man; a real man takes care of his family.' What did Mukesh Khanna reveal about his last days on the set of Mahabharat? When asked about the last days of the show, a BTS video was aired for audiences in which the cast was seen broken down and hugging each other. To which, Mukesh Khanna responded while mocking stars Nitish Bharadwaj and Feroz Khan, who were crying on the sets. He said, 'You can also see in the video that I am maintaining distance. They were crying and wiping each other's tears, but I was funny. My shoot got over a little earlier, but I admit that everyone was emotional as this experience had created a bond between all of us.' More about Mahabharat Mahabharat, directed by B.R. Chopra and his son Ravi Chopra, remains one of India's most beloved television series. Airing from 1988 to 1990 on Doordarshan, the 94-episode series brought the ancient Indian epic to life, captivating audiences across the nation. The show featured a stellar cast, including Nitish Bharadwaj as Krishna, Pankaj Dheer as Karna, Gajendra Chauhan as Yudhishthira, Praveen Kumar as Bhima, Firoz Khan as Arjuna, Roopa Ganguly as Draupadi, and Puneet Issar as Duryodhana.

'Trigger' ending explained: From addressing dark aspects of society to the dual perspectives

Trigger Warning: This article discusses gun violence, its impact, and related social issues, which some readers may find disturbing. 'Trigger,' the recently released K-Drama, has been the talk of the town, keeping every possible fan awake in the night. The story revolves around illegal guns being massively delivered to civilians, leading to chaos and, certainly, triggering violence. What is 'Trigger' about? Directed by Kwon Oh-seung, the series gave a glimpse of what would happen if the regulations were disregarded and the laws were casually broken. Led by Kim Young-Kwang and Kim Nam-Gil, where one is adamant about destroying the country that failed to protect him, and the other is trying to be on the right side of the road. On the darker side is Moon Baek (Kim Young-Kwang), who has been around the international black market and is willing to unleash the devil in South Korea, knowing that he will be dying of cancer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Victoria Principal Is Almost 75, See Her Now Reportingly Undo Meanwhile, Lee Do (Kim Nam Gil), who wants to protect the people despite having a quite traumatic childhood, has served in the military and condemns all the weapon culture in society. While he tries to stop everything without using a gun, the time eventually makes him pick one to fight the demons. How does the series end? At the end, Moon Baek organises rallies and sets off the ticking bomb by conducting a 'free guns' incentive, in addition to throwing smoke bombs. Lee, who has been the protector, decides not to arrest Moon and save the children from the chaotic crossfire. Adding the spice of a perfectly dramatic climax, Baek disappears in the smoke after stating that all he did was hand humans the guns; it was entirely their decision to pull the trigger. However, Moon Baek is shot and is hospitalised due to a critical condition, while Lee Do survives and adopts the boy he saved, according to The Indian Express. While there has been no official announcement about the next season, there is certainly room for one.
