Sony TV's Punyashlok Ahilyabai continues to be one of the finest shows on the small screen having just completed a year of runtime a few days ago. And while the show has already practised the leap it cannot be denied that the child artists who played lead roles in the show were responsible for its continued success.

One of them was actor Krish Chauhan, who played the young Khanderao Holkar. Now, the actor is all set to embark on another journey in another historical show. Chauhan will be seen playing the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in upcoming Doordarshan show, Swaraj. That's right.

Chauhan went on talk about this rare opportunity in an interview with ETimes TV as he said, “It was always my dream to play the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and I am really excited. This is a weekly show that will focus on important historical figures in different episodes and our Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be watching the first few episodes. I mostly live in Mumbai now and come to Vadodara only for my exams (he is pursuing a diploma in Software Engineering). In Maharashtra, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is respected immensely and so, I believe that this role will make me more popular among my fans. After I did Punyashlok Ahilyabai, I got a lot of new fans from Indore and I always love playing historical characters. It gives me the opportunity to relive our glorious past.”

It was always my dream to play the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and I am really excited.

Talking about plans ahead, he said, "Currently, I am in talks for a couple of big Hindi TV shows and hopefully, at least one of those will work out soon. Be it mythological shows, fiction or historical shows, I have done different kinds of shows. I just want to take up challenging roles, the genre doesn’t matter. Doing Punyashlok Ahilyabai has been one of the turning points of my career because it gave me a lot of fame and recognition."

Chauhan has been in an array of mythological and historical shows earlier as well like Shani, Mahakali - Anth Hi Aamrambh Hai and Ram Siya Ke Luv Kush among others.
