As 'Mahabharat' Returns To TV, Lord Krishna AKA Nitish Bharadwaj, Joins Instagram
BR Chopra's Mahabharat started re-running on the channel and Lord Krishna, who was played by Nitish Bharadwaj, has decided to spread his online presence, across social media platforms like Instagram.
DD
National
aka
Doordarshan
has
began
re-running
some
of
its
classics
from
the
'80s
and
'90s
during
the
COVID-19
lockdown
to
keep
the
people
engaged.
Among
the
shows,
recently,
BR
Chopra's
Mahabharat
began
running
on
the
channel.
Lord
Krishna,
who
was
played
by
Nitish
Bharadwaj,
has
decided
to
spread
his
online
presence,
across
social
media
platforms
like
Instagram.
Bharadwaj
had
uploaded
a
video
on
Facebook
regarding
the
re-telecast
of
Mahabharat
on
Doordarshan,
and
had
said
that
he
was
overwhelmed
with
the
response.
He
also
added
that
the
response
has
given
him
the
strength
to
start
using
other
platforms
to
interact
with
people
more."
"You
all
have
now
become
my
online
family.
Two
days
ago
I
had
posted
a
video
about
Mahabharat
which
was
viewed
by
35
lakh
people
and
reached
more
than
one
crore
people.
This
is
a
miracle,
it
isn't
my
power,
it
is
the
blessing
of
God
and
your
love."
"This
has
encouraged
me
to
start
my
YouTube
channel,
Instagram
account
and
Twitter
handle,
which
I
have
begun
from
today," he
added.
Since
then,
he
has
also
uploaded
similar
videos
on
both,
Twitter
as
well
as
Instagram.
Take
a
look:
Nitish
Bharadwaj
had
gained
immense
popularity
after
playing
Lord
Krishna
in
the
mythological
series.
In
the
video,
he
said
that
he
still
feels
amused
that
people
used
to
refer
to
him
as
God.
Talking
about
it
he
said,
"People
were
writing
that
I
am
Krishna,
but
no,
I
am
a
simple
mortal
man...
If
I
have
said
something
nice,
then
the
credit
goes
to
the
scriptures,
my
parents
and
teachers.
All
of
the
shortcomings
are
just
mine," he
added.
Apart
from
mythological
shows
like
Ramayan
and
Mahabharat,
other
Doordarshan
shows
like
Mukesh
Khanna's
Shaktimaan,
Byomkesh
Bakshi,
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
Circus,
Shriman
Shrimati
and
Chanakya
have
also
made
a
well-appreciated
comeback.
