Hi people!
Whether you loved or hated the portrayal of Jalandhar in DKDM, or your feelings lay somewhere in between the two extremes, the CVs certainly packed HEAPS into their version of him. And Tushar Jha and Mohit Raina certainly took on the challenge of such a complex character and made it their own. 👏 In particular, Mr Raina embodied the various facets of adult Jalandhar superbly, showing us so many emotions and expressions that we don't usually get to see with Mahadev or his other characters. Jalandhar and the other characters and goings on in DKDM's unique and controversial version of Jalandhar and Vrinda's story, intertwined with the Ashtang Yoga storyline and SEVERAL other things, certainly raised many issues and made me (and I'm sure, others as well) think a lot. 😕 It also made me laugh my head off on several occasions - mostly to do with Jalandhar's mannerisms, dialogues, expressions and reactions to things (well done, Mr Raina! Brilliant performance!). 😃 😆 ⭐️
He has already been felicitated with several different titles in DKDM itself, and as he did declare himself an alternative to Mahadev and a challenger to the title of Devon De Dev, I thought I'd list as many titles for Jalandhar as I could think of, many of them based on the title "Devon Ke Dev". Some of them have been used in DKDM and some of them are made up by me in reference to Jalandhar's character in DKDM. Some were also suggested by others, so credit is given if I've used anyone else's ideas.
So here it goes, in good fun and as a celebration of DKDM's multifaceted Jalandhar character in my own weird style. 😃
Yours in (attempted) humour,
Arti (A-A-S)

Titles Ke Dev... Jalandhar!
From the various background songs used as Jalandhar entered battlefields:
1) Mahadev Maha-ansh, Jalandhar
2) Mahadev Krodhansh, Jalandhar
3) Mahadev Tejansh, Jalandhar
4) Mahadev Leelansh, Jalandhar
5) Tribhuvan Trilokmay Tripurari Ka Ansh, Jalandhar
6) Paramveer Mahayodha, Jalandhar
7) Mahataap Maharosh, Jalandhar
The titles he earned:
8) Asur Raj Jalandhar
9) Trilokadhipati Jalandhar
In relation to his various relationships and connections with others:
10) Samudra Putra Jalandhar
11) Samudra Poojya Jalandhar
(Devi Lakshmi called him this when they met.)
12) Matsyakanya Putra Jalandhar
13) Devi Lakshmi ka Anuj, Jalandhar
(anuj = younger brother)
14) Lord Vishnu ka Saala, Jalandhar
(saala = brother-in-law = wife's brother)
15) Kartikeya, Ashoksundari aur Ganesh ke aayu mein sabse chota par aakaar mein sabse badha bhai, Jalandhar 😃
("Kartikeya, Ashoksundari and Ganesh's youngest but biggest [in size] brother!" He is an ansh of Mahadev so I guess that makes him sort of like their brother.)
16) Complex Family Tree Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(This one comes from my attempted humorous interpretation of Jalandhar's family tree, straight out of our mythology. You can read
'Jalandhar's "complex" family tree' on page 32 of this thread if you are interested:
https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/84838945.)
17) Tridevon Se Anokhe Rishte Mein Bandha Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who shares unique relationships with the Tridevs" - he is an ansh of Mahadev, he is Lord Vishnu's brother-in-law, and he was named by Lord Brahma.)
18) Apne aap ka uncle aur nephew... Jalandhar! 😆 😊
(Again, from my 'Jalandhar's "complex" family tree' interpretation! Do check it out if you'd like to see the other relationships! This one is my personal favourite!)
19) Shukracharya Ka Shishya Jalandhar
20) Cupid Acharya Ka Shishya Jalandhar
(Credit to Sucheta [Kaatayani] for DKDM's Shukracharya's nickname "Cupid Acharya", given to him because of his efforts to get Jalandhar and Vrinda married.)
21) Vrinda Pati Jalandhar
22) Asurshresht Kalnemi ka Damad Jalandhar
In relation to his appearance and mannerisms in DKDM:
23) Tedha Gardan Ka Dev... Jalandhar
("Dev of the crooked neck.")
24) Neeli Aakho Ka Dev... Jalandhar
("Dev of blue eyes.")
25) Blue-streaked Hair Ka Dev... Jalandhar
26) Tattoos Ka Dev... Jalandhar
27) 8-pack Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Perhaps this one would be more correct as "8-pack Ka Dev.. Mohit Raina! 😆)
28) Asth-vyasth Kesh Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Jalandhar's hair in his final look was understandably pretty messy, and Mahadev's has been pretty neat for a while, so Jalandhar can have this one for himself. In case you're wondering if there is an "Asth-vyasth Kesh Ki Devi" at all, the answer is yes - me! 😆)
29) Arti (A-A-S) Ke Jaise Baalo Ka Dev... Jalandhar 🤣
(Seriously, he has the same hairstyle as me but I had it long before Jalandhar appeared in DKDM! My hair style is like adult Jalandhar's first one, but my length and general asth-vyasth-ness is like his final look! My dad randomnly told me a few weeks ago that I had hair like Jalandhar when we weren't even watching DKDM, and my mum told me in a separate incident that Jalandhar was looking more and more like me as time passed! 😆)
30) Blue, White and Silver Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(I like his first colour-scheme! I know he shares blue-silver with Samudradev [who we don't see much], and Chandradev but he hasn't been seen for some time so at that time blue-white-silver was pretty much exclusively Jalandhar's.)
31) Silver Jewellery Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(As far as I can remember, the only other characters who predominantly wear silver jewellery are Samudradev and Chandradev. So this one is also Jalandhar's for the time being, for his first look.)
32) Shells Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(I like how his belts and jewellery featured shells and kept the strong sea connection.)
33) Crab Necklace aur Shell Belt Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(I really liked that necklace and belt from his final look! It looks like people had a great deal of fun designing Jalandhar's costumes!)
34) Sailboat-jaisa aur Agni-jaisa Tikka Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(I like how they really tried to maintain both his sea and fire connections throughout his life and costume changes.)
35) Sabse Unique Style Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(I know they have tried to have every character/group of characters have their own distinct costume style, but surely adult Jalandhar's tattoos and first white-cloth-over-dhoti style takes the cake!)
36) Mahadev Ka Pratiroop... Jalandhar
(As said by Kartikeya, after the first time he saw Jalandhar and realised that he looked just like Mahadev.)
37) Mahadev Ke Outfit Se Prerna Paane Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who was inspired by Mahadev's outfit" - for his final look!)
38) Kaajal Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(As he is the only male character to be wearing it recently, and a lot of it, too.)
39) Re-invention Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Because of his makeovers!)
40) Indian Mythological Shows Ka Dark Lord... Jalandhar
(Because of his final black-and-brown colour scheme! Credit to Sucheta [Kaatayani] for this suggestion.)
41) Devilish Handsomeness Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Another one that must be attributed to Mr Raina!)
42) Evil Smiles and Smirks Ke Dev... Jalandhar 😈
43) Psychotic Expressions Ka Dev... Jalandhar
44) Evil Laughter Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Mohit's good at #42-44, don't you think? 👏)
45) Stylish Poses Ke Dev... Jalandhar 😎
(He was a bit of a poser, wasn't he? My favourite pose of his was just before he was about to take the maya-astra orb, when he stuck his arms out and had a gleeful look on his face!)
46) (Possibly) Universe Ka Sabse Handome Asur Raj Ever... Jalandhar 😉 ❓🤣
(I say "possibly" only because I have not personally seen all the Asur Raj's that ever existed, in reality or as characters portrayed in shows/movies etc! 😆 All credit to Mr Raina, because that is just the way he looks!!! 😃)
47) Ultimate Good Looks Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(A sister-title to #46; credit to --QueenBitch-- for the suggestion.)
In relation to his powers, activities, attitudes, and interactions with others:
48) Self-healing Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(That is one awesome and useful super-power - I wish I had it!)
49) Flexible Waist Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(For flexibility displayed when he saved Vrinda on the battlefield.)
50) Shakti Pradarshan Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Because we saw him show us how powerful he was on several occasions!)
51) Daudne aur Koodne Ka Dev... Jalandhar
("Dev of running and jumping." Because he did a lot of running and jumping! Based on a suggestion by Lyssander22.)
52) Agni aur Jal Ke Shakti Ka Anokha Mel... Jalandhar
("A unique combination of the powers of fire and water.")
53) Super Hot aur Super Cool Ka Dev... Jalandhar 😎
(A sister-title to #52; credit to Panchaali for the suggestion.)
54) Jal Samadhi Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Because he did this so much, and he is still the only character that we have actually seen doing this in DKDM. [Vrinda killed herself in jal samadhi in DKDM, but we didn't actually see her do it.])
55) Jal Samadhi Se Hamesha Naye Roop Mein Lautne Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who always returned from Jal Samadhi in a new form/with a new look!")
56) The Original Surfer Dude... Jalandhar
(I came up with this because of the way he surfed the horse-shaped waves when he came out of the sea in all his entry sequences and promos - both as a child and as an adult.)
57) Complete-with-sound-effects-wale Sea-foam Horses Ke Swami... Jalandhar
(Another one because of his entry sequences!)
58) Indian Mythological Shows Ke Sabse Unique Crown aur Throne Ke Swami... Jalandhar
("Game of Thrones" has a lot to answer for! 😆)
59) Colourful Asurs Ke Swami... Jalandhar
(Good old Neelasur, Lalasur, Kalasur and Rajatasur - we'll miss you, too!)
60) The Original Accountant... Jalandhar 🤣
(This is in reference to the scene shortly after his coronation as Asur Raj in which Jalandhar was going through the Asurs' accounts! That was awesome! And I've read that Mohit was considering becoming an accountant before he became an actor/model, so seeing a character played by him get to go through accounts - in DKDM, of all places - was great! 😆 I couldn't stop laughing at that scene - I want to know if that was an in-joke put there on purpose or if it was just a coincidence! ❓)
61) Mahadev Ka Pakka Virodhi... Jalandhar
("He who strongly opposes Mahadev.")
62) Mahadev Ka Sabse Badha Shatru... Jalandhar
("Mahadev's biggest enemy" - as proclaimed in DKDM promos.)
63) (Self-proclaimed) Mahadev Ka Vikalp... Jalandhar
("Self-proclaimed alternative to Mahadev.")
64) (Self-proclaimed) Challenger to the Title of Devon Ke Dev... Jalandhar
65) Kuch Deviyon Ke Dev... Jalandhar 😃
(Because there are some girls who love him!)
66) The Original Angry Young Man... Jalandhar
(Credit to the writer(s) of DKDM - this was the idea they were apparently wanting to portray with Jalandhar's character in DKDM.)
67) Pradhaanta Ka Virodhi... Jalandhar
("He who opposes the notion of supremacy/superiority.")
68) Saakshaatkaar Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Because he seemed to love face-offs/one-on-one meetings and he said the word "saakshaatkaar" a lot!)
69) Indra's (most recent) Worst Nightmare... Jalandhar 😲
70) Indra's Special Chiropractor... Jalandhar
(Because he grabbed Indra's throat at every available opportunity! Who said Vrinda was the only doctor in the family? 😆)
71) Indra Ke Gardan Ka Sabse Bada Shatru... Jalandhar
("Indra's neck's biggest enemy" - another version of #70! I'm sure he hated Indra's neck much more than Mahadev!)
72) Indra Ko Gardan Se Uthaa Kar Latkane aur Patakne Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who hung up Indra by his neck and then tossed him.")
73) Indra Ko Paraajit Kar Ke aur Dhamka Ke Bhagaane Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who defeated and threatened Indra, then sent him running." I laughed so hard when Jalandhar told Indra "Yadi dubara mere samksh aaye to tum kahi bhi jaane yogya nahi rahoge!" 🤣)
74) Indra Ki Dhulai Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(And what a dhulai it was! I'm glad that Mahadev's krodhagni did to some extent hurt Indra, even if it was only temporary.)
75) Swayam Nightmare Dekhne Wala aur Devtao Ko Nightmare Dikhaane Wala... Jalandhar 😛
("He who saw himself nightmares and gave nightmares to the Devtas.")
76) Apne Kaam Nikaalne Ka Sahi Tareeka Pehechchanne Ka Dev... Jalandhar
("He who recognises the correct/appropriate way to get his work done". For his ability to work out how to get what he wants from people ⭐️ - such as the way he got the asurs all working together using a pot on a roof, the way he threatened Sarpmani and Kuber, the way he sweet-talked and personally served food to Yamraj, and the way he got information about Devi Sati from the Rishis.)
77) Doosre Ke Rahasya Ko Pata Karne aur Apne Rahasya Ko Gupt Rakhne Ke Dev... Jalandhar
("He who finds out the secrets of others and keeps his own secrets hidden." I like that he worked out a way to try and find out about Devi Parvati even though Shukracharya wouldn't tell him, and the way we didn't know what his secret weapon was until he was about to use it.)
78) Madhur Vaani Ke Dev... Jalandhar
("He of sweet speech" - because he certainly did some sweet talking! 🤣)
79) Master Manipulator... Jalandhar 😉
(A follow-on from #7, #77 and #78.)
80) Asuro Ke Utsah Badhaane Wala aur Unka Udhaar Karne Wala... Jalandhar
("He who increased the enthusiam of the asurs and uplifted them." - just like a good King should!)
81) Athiti Seva Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(For his personal service to Yamraj, who looked quite pleased!)
82) Kuber Ko Daraane Wala aur Yamraaj Ko Pataane Wala... Jalandhar 😛
("He who scared Kuber and persuaded Yamraaj.")
83) Apni Patni Ke Bhaashan Sunne Wala aur Swayam Bhaashan Dene Wala... Jalandhar
("He who had to listen to his wife give speeches and also gave speeches of his own.")
84) Kuch Deviyon Ki Raton Ki Neend Churaane Wala Dev... Jalandhar 😆
(Added at the request of and based on a suggestion by Panchaali.)
85) Kuch Deviyon Ko Sweet Dreams Dene Wala Dev... Jalandhar 😆
(Added at the request of and based on a suggestion by Panchaali.)
86) Killer Dialogues Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(He certainly had some zingers! Some of my favourite's are when he told Indra "Yadi dubara mere samksh aaye to tum kahi bhi jaane yogya nahi rahoge!" and when he told Kuber "Chinta na karo, tumhe yudh mein sammilit karke main moorkhta ka pramaand nahi doonga!" Ouch! Kudos to the dialogue writer(s) and Mr Raina. 👏)
87) Sarcasm Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(He shares this one with Mahadev in "Stalker Sadhu" mode!)
88) Kalnemi Ke Chehre Se Rang Utarne Wala aur Phir Unke Chere Pe "Mega-watt Smile" Laane Wala... Jalandhar 😆
("He who drained all the colour from Kalnemi's face and then later brought a "mega-watt" smile [big smile] to his face." This is because of the way Kalnemi freaked out when Jalandhar challenged Sarpmani in order to marry Vrinda, and then for the way Kalnemi's face lit up with a mega-watt smile at Jalandhar-Vrinda's wedding.)
89) Samundar Ko Ubhaalne Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who boiled the sea" - because it looked like he boiled the sea water whenever he made his returns from jal samadhi!)
90) Global Warming Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(Because he boiled the sea! He shares this one with Mahadev, who has this title because of his krodh-agni. It is really quite fitting that both these characters are played by Mohit, because according to [at least] one article that came out at the end of 2012, he is so hot that he is the "reason for global warming"! 🤣)
91) Sab Kuch Mein Apmaan Dekhne Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who finds everything insulting." - because he felt insulted a lot!)
92) Moorkh Na Hone Par Bhi Moorkhta Dikhane Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who showed foolishness despite not being a fool." This is based on what Rishi Markandeya said to Jalandhar, and incorporates an idea suggested by Payel_dey.)
93) Kartikeya aur Ganesh Ko Utha Kar Patakne Wala aur Swayam Mahadev Se Patak Jaane Wala... Jalandhar
("He who picked up and threw Kartikeya and Ganesh, and himself got thrown by Mahadev." There was certainly a lot of tossing going on with Jalandhar! )
94) Mahapatan Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Credit to Narad007 for the suggestion, after he was tossed by Mahadev and literally fell from Brahmalok to Pataal Lok. This also describes Jalandhar's journey in DKDM from a righteous person towards his ultimate end!)
95) Paagalpan aur Brahm Ke Dev... Jalandhar 😕
(Paagalpan = madness, brahm = confusion. This is for the time after he became Trilokadipati when he was losing the plot!)
96) (Part-time) Asurakshaa Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Asurakshaa = insecurity. Jalandhar only has this one for the time when he was extremely insecure, from after he fell from Brahmalok to Pataal Lok. The full-time owner of this title is DKDM's Indra! Thanks to Nikki [Nikki_SAS-holic] for that hint!)
97) Adheerthaa Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Adheerthaa = impatience; based on a suggestion by Surya_krsnbhakt.)
98) Bechaini Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Bechaini = restlessness; based on a suggestion by Surya_krsnbhakt.)
99) Parityaag Se Darne Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who fears abandonment.")
100) Raving Lunatics Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(He did some serious raving! And the "Raving Lunatics Ki Devi" is me! [Can't you tell from this post?] 🤣)
101) Gleeful Psychosis Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(He really did seem to be enjoying himself, after he returned from jal samadhi in his final look!)
102) Junoon Ka Prateek... Jalandhar
("The epitome of obsession." If Jalandhar wasn't obsessed [with replacing Mahadev] then I don't know who is!)
103) Sandeh Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Sandeh = suspicion; Because he was pretty suspicious at times!)
104) Vrinda Ke Vichaaro Ko Sammaan Karne Wala... Jalandhar
("He who respected Vrinda's views" - it was good to see that him respecting/acknowledging his wife and her ideas at times in DKDM.)
105) Mayavi Kalpanic Lok, Jalaxy, Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(Credit to Sucheta [Kaatayani] for coining the term "Jalaxy". ⭐️)
106) Blue Orb Maya-astra Ko Dharan Karne aur Chalane Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who used the blue orb magical weapon.")
107) Sabse Bada Trishul Ke Swami... Jalandhar
("Owner of the largest Trishul." What's the deal with his trishul being even bigger than Mahadev's?)
108) Stylish Swagger Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(Because of the way he walked with a swagger some of the time, especially when he was making his entries out of the sea.)
109) Apne Cheekho Se Sansaar Ko Hilaane Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who shook up the world with his screams/shouting." - mostly done in anger when he was little.)
110) Unique Kidnapping Style Ka Dev... Jalandhar
(Not only did he kidnap Devi Parvati in DKDM, he transported the entire Amarnath cave from Earth to his Jalaxy! I'm glad they put Amarnath back on Earth where it belonged at the end instead of blowing it up, seeing as it is actually on Earth [and I would think, never left here in the first place!]. 😛)
111) Kathin aur Dilchasp Prashn Uthaane Wala Dev... Jalandhar
("He who raised some difficult and interesting questions." - both himself and by others. This entire track certainly did get us thinking and talking a lot!)
112) Massive Emotional Range Ke Dev... Jalandhar
(Because we got to see so many different emotions in this one character - from the righteous King to the deranged lunatic to the evil madman, the good, the bad, the ugly, the happy, the romantic, the sad, the angry, the scared, the lonely, etc etc etc. Well done, Mr Raina! 👏)
113) Vichitra Vichaaro Ke Dev... Jalandhar
("He who had some bizarre ideas" - because while he had some good ideas, he also had some really strange ones! This also relates to the next one, #114!)
114) Arti (A-A-S) Ke Mann Mein Vichitra Vichaaro Bharne Wala Dev... Jalandhar 😊
("He who put weird ideas into Arti's [my] head" - because his character inspired me to come up with this eclectic list of titles! 🤣 Big-time kudos to all the CVs/writers [Mr Naithani and everyone else involved], the costume department, Mr Raina for his totally awesome, power-packed performance, and to all the other actors and absolutely everyone else involved as well! 👏)
And to finish off:
For a while he was
115) Dead Man Walking... Jalandhar 😲
(Because we all knew where this was heading!)
then he became
116) Mahadev Ke Trishul Pe Tanga Wala... Jalandhar
("He who was hanging on Mahadev's trishul." )
and finally he became
117) Mool Mein Vileen Hone Wala Ansh... Jalandhar
("The ansh who returned to/merged into the original [Mahadev].")
In this unique version of Jalandhar's tale, he can certainly be described as the
118) The Ultimate Tragedy King of DKDM... Jalandhar 😭
(Credit to --QueenBitch-- for the suggestion.)
119) The Ultimate Controversy King of DKDM... Jalandhar
120) DKDM's Psychological Case Study Character... Jalandhar
...and because of all this, I call him
121) Titles Ke Dev... Jalandhar! ⭐️
... and for his AWESOME power-packed performance as Jalandhar, Mahadev, and Swami Adiyogi all at the same time, and for every single other character he has played, a massive round of applause 👏 for the very talented
Actors Ke Actor... Maha-actor, Mohit Raina! ⭐️
Farewell, Jalandhar (and Vrinda). Its has been an interesting journey! ⭐️
