When ‘Gods' Fall Silent: Nitish Bharadwaj, TV's Krishna, Left Broken By Love And Lawsuits
Last Updated: Beloved for his role as Lord Krishna, Nitish Bharadwaj now battles loneliness, divorce, and legal fights with his ex-wife over their daughters Appearances can be deceiving, and this seems especially true for movie and TV stars. While the world sees only their on-screen charm and radiant smiles, their personal lives often tell a different story. One such figure is Nitish Bharadwaj, beloved by millions for his portrayal of Lord Krishna in BR Chopra's epic television series Mahabharata. To viewers, his calm presence and divine smile were almost celestial. But behind the screen, his life has been anything but serene. Troubled Personal Life Nitish Bharadwaj has faced a series of emotional and legal challenges, particularly in his personal relationships. His first marriage, in 1991, was to Monisha Patil, daughter of noted magazine editor Vimala Patil. The couple had a son and a daughter and were together for 14 years before their divorce. In 2009, Nitish Bharadwaj married IAS officer Smita Gete, with whom he had twin daughters. However, this marriage also ended in separation after ten years, and unlike his first divorce, this one became publicly contentious. Legal Disputes And Allegations Post-separation, Nitish Bharadwaj filed a police complaint alleging that Smita Gete was mentally harassing him and deliberately preventing him from meeting their daughters. He accused her of frequently changing their schools to avoid contact. In an emotional interview, he opened up about his mental distress and referred to instances of 'parental alienation', claiming his daughters had been manipulated into hating him. Nitish Bharadwaj revealed to Telly Talk that one of his daughters once told him, 'Papa, we're ashamed to call you our father." Smita Gete, however, refuted all claims in a press conference, accusing Nitish Bharadwaj of distorting facts and attempting to malign her reputation. Career Beyond The Screen Before entering the entertainment industry, Nitish Bharadwaj trained as a veterinarian. However, he soon turned to acting, starting with Marathi theatre before moving into Hindi productions. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nitish Bharadwaj (@ At the age of just 23, Nitish Bharadwaj shot to fame with his iconic portrayal of Lord Krishna in Mahabharat. He later appeared in other mythological series such as Ramayan and Vishnu Puran, and featured in films including Trishagni (1988), the critically acclaimed Malayalam film Njan Gandharvan (1991), Mohenjo Daro (2016) and Kedarnath (2018). These roles further cemented his legacy in both Indian television and cinema. Today, despite his iconic status, Nitish Bharadwaj lives a solitary life, grappling with the aftermath of broken relationships and legal battles.
