Avinesh Rekhi replaces Mohit Malik as new lord Shiv in Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki

Sony SAB’s mythological series Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki – Ganesh Kartikey, produced by Peninsula Pictures, is heading toward a major casting change. The show, currently featuring Mohit Malik as Lord Shiv, will soon have a replacement. Reports of Mohit’s exit had been circulating for some time, largely due to his packed schedule and multiple ongoing commitments.

Why Mohit Malik Is Exiting the Show

Mohit Malik has been balancing several projects simultaneously. Along with his television commitments, he recently gained attention for his performance in the Sony LIV series Chamak. Additionally, he is now associated with Mirzapur: The Film, the big-screen adaptation of the well-known web franchise. Managing these commitments has reportedly made it difficult for him to fulfil the daily requirements of a mythological show, prompting the need for a new actor to step into the role of Lord Shiv.

Avinesh Rekhi in Advanced Talks for the Role

With Mohit’s exit confirmed internally, the production team began searching for a suitable replacement who could take over the central role without disrupting the show’s ongoing storyline. According to reliable sources, actor Avinesh Rekhi has emerged as the leading choice. He was recently seen in Sony TV’s Chalo Bulawa Aaya Hai: Mata Ne Bulaya Hai, and discussions regarding his entry into Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki – Ganesh Kartikey have reportedly reached the advanced stage.

A source shared, 'It looks as though Avinesh Rekhi is all set to take on the role of Lord Shiv. Talks have progressed significantly for him to join the mythological series.'

Avinesh Rekhi Confirms the Development

Avinesh Rekhi, known for his work in shows such as Chhoti Sarrdaarni, Ikk Kudi Punjab Di, Chhal – Sheh Aur Maat, Udaariyaan, and Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, confirmed the update to leading portal when contacted. He stated, 'Yes, I am very much doing it.'

While Avinesh has confirmed his involvement, the production house and the channel have not issued an official statement yet. Attempts to reach them for comment were not successful at the time of filing this story.

What This Means for the Show

The transition marks a significant shift for Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki – Ganesh Kartikey, as Lord Shiv's role is central to the narrative. With Avinesh stepping in, viewers can expect the storyline to continue without disruption as the show moves ahead with its mythological arc.
