'Back then, did not realize I was going to be part of history': Sumeet Raghvan on starring in 'Mahabharat'Author : AZIndia News Desk
Sumeet Raghvan started his acting career as a teenager with the hit mythological show, Mahabharat aired in the late 80s on Doordarshan. The actor played the role of Sudama, Lord Krishna's best friend on the show and won hearts with his innocent look and acting prowess. Now, after a rerun on Doordarshan, Mahabharat is being aired on Colors TV and Sumeet's stint ended a few days back.
Now in a statement, Sumeet shared an anecdote from the sets of Mahabharat and how was his shooting experience. The talented actor stated, "I was very young when I bagged the role, and as excited as any new kid on the block. I was quite skinny at the time, probably that’s why I got the role! (laughs). We had barely shot for 3 to 4 days and I remember shooting the Sandipani Ashram portions in Film City and the rain dance sequence at Chena creek. Back then, I did not realize that I was going to be a part of history. But I do remember seeing Mukesh Ji and Nitish Ji on the set. They were in their prime then, and I was completely in awe of them."
Sumeet also added, "Once the episodes were aired again, there was a flurry of questions on my social media. People were taking screenshots of the episode tagging me, asking, 'Is this you? We never knew you were a part of this epic show!' I am happy that I got to work with such revered actors and be a part of a classic like Mahabharat."
