Did You Know? Sumeet Raghavan Was Also A Part Of The Cult Classic 'Mahabharat'

Having already spawned a fantastic career on the small screen and has been a part of multiple iconic shows over the years, little did we know that actor Sumeet Raghavan was a part of history too.

Don't get too perplexed thinking that as Raghavan, a surprise to many, was a part of the cult show Mahabharat back then. Yes! That's right. It is no secret how Mahabharat is currently running strongly on Doordarshan with huge numbers and many were rather surprised to see a then-teenage Raghavan in the show.

He played the role of  Krishna’s friend, Sudama on the show. While he was just 16 years old back then, the actor shares that he had no inkling that the show will create history. In an interview with Times of India, Raghavan said, “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."

He also adds, “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."
