June 1, 2026 by Uma Shankar

Nitish Bhardwaj played the role of Lord Krishna in the Mahabharata serial and he is still known for this role. But you will be surprised to know that he was not the first choice for this role in the serial. If reports are to be believed, he was getting a role from either Nakul-Sahdev or Vidur in the show. However, later when his personality was considered, he got the lead role in the show which was also a superhit.Mukesh Khanna had gained popularity even before Shaktiman with the role of Bhishma Pitamah in the Mahabharata serial and even today this role is his identity. But he too was not the first choice for this role in the serial. He himself wanted to play the role of Arjun or Karna in the first show. But initially he was given the role of Guru Dronacharya. Later the conditions changed and Fileni got the role of Bhishma Pitamah which proved to be the biggest role of his career.Due to his strong personality, Puneet Issar was initially going to get the role of Bheem in the show. But he himself wanted to play the character of Duryodhana in the show. When he refused to play the role of Bheem, he was given the role of Duryodhana and Praveen Kumar Sobti was seen in the role of Bheem. Roopa Ganguly got the big role of Draupadi in the show and she also got a lot of recognition for this character. But she was not the only choice for this role. Along with him, popular South actress Ramya Krishnan was also offered the same role. But his command of Hindi was a bit loose and there were difficult words in the dialogues of Mahabharata. In such a situation, this role finally went to Roopa Ganguly.Talking about actor Gajendra Chauhan, initially he was offered the role of Lord Krishna. But after the audition and before the show started, his weight had increased a bit. Because of this, he lost the role of Krishna and he got the offer to play Balram. However, he did not like this role, after which he got to play the role of Yudhishthir.
