My jaw aches as I have to smile all the time playing Vishnu in Mahadev: Laughs Saurabh Raj Jain

Saurabh Raj Jain who plays Vishnu in Life OK’s Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev (Triangle Film Company) had slipped into Lord Vishnu’s role with ease as his producer Nikhil Sinha had guided him very well. The tall and handsome actor told us, “Nikhilji had told me that Lord Vishnu doesn’t speak much. He just says one or two liners. He is a Supreme God and an enlightened soul who knows all. He has no worries. A smile always plays on his lips.”

It was not difficult for him to play a God who is an enlightened and serene soul and isn’t affected by external circumstances. “The only issue is that as I have to smile all the time, my jaw aches,” laughs the actor.

Saurabh prefers mythologicals to playing a husband in mainstream soaps. He elaborated, “I feel that male actors have something concrete to do in mythological.”

We asked him his take on the controversy as to whether mythological shows are history or mythology. He replied, “This is a tricky question. I feel that it is a blend of mythology and history. For instance there is proof which points to the fact that the Ramayan and the Mahabharat did take place.”

When Saurabh isn’t acting, he engages himself in dancing and reading. “I am an avid reader who loves to read all sorts of books about life and the world. I also attend dance classes.”

Speaking on his impressive career graph from his first show Remix on Star One, he tells us that he is happy that he has got to play a variety of roles. “It is a challenge to play different kind of roles. I have played a grey character in Uttaran, an innocent guy in Parichay and now I am playing Lord Vishnu.”

The actor remained tight-lipped about his upcoming role as Lord Krishna in Star Plus’ Mahabharat. Kudos to Saurabh for doing good work in past and present shows. For more updates on Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev, keep watching this space.
