One day I was informed about an ongoing audition for a movie. But unfortunately, I was late and some other actor was finalised. Little disheartened, I was passing by Mr.B.R Chopra’s house. I saw a group of renowned actors and actresses present there. I was very captivated. I met Mr.Gufi Pantel(Who played ‘Shakuni’ in Mahabharata). He told me that audition for Mahabharat was going on and insisted me to go for it. At that moment I had no idea about Mahabharata script. To my surprise, I was handed the dialogues which were in Hindi, the language I was not at all fluent with. So, I first translated the dialogues into English and then I went for the audition. Fortunately, after a week I came to know that I was selected for the role of Arjun.”

Fictional character

Arjuna (Sanskrit: अर्जुन, IAST: Arjuna) was an ancient prince of the Kuru Kingdom, located in the present-day India. He is one of the main protagonists of the Hindu epicMahābhārata. He was the third of five Pandava brothers, from the lineage of the Kuru. In the Mahabharata War, Arjuna was a key warrior from the Pandava side in the battle of Kurukshetra. Before the beginning of the war, his mentor Krishna gave him the supreme knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita, guiding him through his moral dilemmas. Throughout the epic, Arjuna is the closest friend and companion of Krishna.

Arjuna was the son of Kunti, the wife of Kuru King Pandu, and the god Indra, who fathered him due to Pandu's curse. Renowned for his archery skills from an early age, he excelled in his training under the guidance of Drona. He emerged as the primary adversary of the Kauravas. He married Draupadi, who became the common wife of the Pandavas.

Arjuna's life was marked by two periods of exile. The first exile stemmed from a broken pact with his brothers, while the second followed the tragic loss of their kingdom through the game of dice. During his first exile, Arjuna married Ulupi, Chitrāngadā and Subhadra. From these unions, he fathered four sons: Shrutakarma, Iravan, Babhruvahana and Abhimanyu. His second exile saw him acquire many celestial weapons. Beyond his martial prowess, Arjuna was also a skilled musician and dancer. At the end of the epic the Pandavas, accompanied by Draupadi, retire to the Himalayas, where everyone in time passes away to arrive in heaven.
