Ever since Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan and BR Chopra’s Mahabharat came back to the Television screens, the viewers have something to look forward to in this quarantine period. The entire family sits together and they rejoice in these iconic mythological shows. However, here’s an interesting and shocking fact about BR Chopra’s Mahabharat

Actress Roopa Ganguly who portrayed the role of Draupadi was not the initial choice for the role. Yes, you head it right. A leading portal stated in their reports that the popular Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla, was the first choice for the role and the makers had finalised her as Draupadi. However, Juhi later went on to sign 'Qamayat se Qamayat Tak' with Amir Khan and the makers eventually roped in Roopa for the role. 

Juhi had also mentioned in one of her interviews that many people asked her not to let go of the show Mahabharat. They also told her that Nasir Hussain’s last three films were not successful but she decided to still sign the film and decline the offer of Mahabharat
