We quizzed Vin on why was he finalized for the role of Nakul when he had already auditioned for the role of Arjun, clarifying for the same he quipped, "It all started with the audition call... I went ahead to give the audition for the role of Arjun and luckily the audition was in Delhi itself. Honestly, I liked my look very much and the people who took my audition were also seen happy. After I went home I got a call and I was told that I was chosen for the role of Nakul instead of Arjun. Firstly I did not want to take up the role of Nakul, but then I agreed as it was a good show."

Further we asked Vin on how does he feel now to be a part of the show and he says, "I have started liking my character now. It is a great experience to be a part of this show as it is my first show and I am getting to learn a lot and explore my acting skills."

Vin says that it was a very nice feeling watching himself on television screen portraying the role of Nakul, "I really can't express my feelings in words on how I felt when I saw myself being a part of the show during the telecast. It was absolutely a great feeling."

Furthermore he elaborated saying, "Initially I was much scared and nervous about the reaction of audience towards my character also as it is a mythological show, the Hindi language and the diction matters a lot. I had taken many workshops for the same even though my Hindi was pretty good, I wanted to do justice to my character. But the best part is that I am also getting a good response from everyone on my character and for my acting skills. People have started liking my character and I am getting good compliments for the same."

Vin says that it is fantastic working with the production house and his co-actors in the show, "Siddharth Kumar Tewary is very helpful and one of the most humble person I have ever met, in fact the entire team of the production house and co-actors are very helpful and we all have bonded like a family now."

We asked Vin on whether has he read the book on Mahabharat or researched about his character before taking up the show, he says, "Yes, I have read the book on Mahabharat and also I have researched a lot about my character too on the internet and through many mythological books too."

Lastly we also quizzed him over a question asking what are the three main reasons that people should watch Mahabharat and he says, "The very first reason of why should people watch Mahabharat is that it is differently and beautifully made. Secondly each and every character in the show is portrayed in an important way and thirdly the characters are new and fresh."

"According to me there is 99% hard work that a person does and just 1% luck that matters. But eventually you need both to become successful in life" he concluded.

We wish Vin Raina all the very best for his future endeavors.
