"I don't think an image can stop an actor, so I will try and break it whenever given a chance" - Mohit Raina
On the auspicious occasion of Mahashivatri,urlremoved got in touch with the amazingly talented and handsome actor Mohit Raina, popularly known as Mahadev from Life OK's Devon Ke Dev - Mahadev. In this candid chat with us, he talks about the best part of doing Mahadev, about being typecast and much more. Read on to know more about the most loved character on screen.
How did team Mahadev celebrate Mahashivratri?
Well we shot for this sequence and then we had a small get together. We had a small prayer yesterday morning. All of us got together and we called some pandits, they came and performed pooja. It was in a very detailed manner where I performed all the rituals, I did it for the first time on the sets and it was a great experience!
Any incident you remember while portraying this character that might have touched you?
Well all the incidents have touched me, but yes there was a particular incident where we were talking about taking care of the nature.This is something that is very close to my heart as well. We should protect nature, we all have seen what happened last year in Uttarakhand floods. We all are aware of that so we should conserve nature. We should be a developing country but also we should try and protect nature as much as we can, Plant more trees. We should be courteous to everything, that the almighty has given us.
How do you handle so much of love from fans all over, who even compare you to lord Shiva?
Well I am just grateful and really really humbled. I have no words honestly but yes I just do my job and just want to thank them. I can't thank the real Mahadev I guess more (Smiling).
What is the best part of doing Mahadev?
The best part is honestly all the parts. Everything is special about this character, this character is in itself of great strength and great power. It can't get bigger than this honestly.
Don't you feel scared of getting typecast?
Ahh lets see, not really. I don't think an image can stop an actor, so I will try and break it whenever given a chance.
How difficult was it for you initially to portray such an intense character?
Initially, yes it was difficult as we really didn't knew how to go about it.We were little sceptical because we were not sure how God walks or behaves. I took my own sweet time and got into the character. Slowly slowly things were in place and we realised the characteristics, the character should have.
Who is Mohit Raina off screen?
Just another normal guy trying to fulfil his dreams, and to have a small place in this huge industry, that's it.
Many of Telly stars are leaving Television for Bollywood, any such Bollywood plans you have?
Not as of now.
Apart from Mahadev, if got a chance which mythological character you would love to play?
Karna, I was always fascinated by Karna in Mahabharat.
Any message for your fans who really adores you a lot?
My only message to them is, thank you so much for being so so loyal and so graceful. It is because of them wherever I am today. I wish all of them a great great great Mahashivratri, with best wishes from my end. Celebrate it with your family and loved ones, give love, be loved. Its only one life so just take care of yourself and I will keep entertaining you guys as long as I can.
