Siddhant Issar, who stars in Shaitani Rasmein, has had the incredible opportunity to portray Lord Krishna over 200 times throughout his career. As Star Bharat’s show enters the thrilling era of the ultimate villain, Maalik, Siddhant shares a sneak peek into his childhood memories of Janmashtami, along with his learnings and devotion to Lord Krishna.
Siddhant describes his Janmashtami celebration plans: “Having grown up in Mumbai, Janmashtami is celebrated on a grand scale, and the excitement and devotion fill the air. One of the most exhilarating experiences was competing to break the handi. I’ve bruised my knees and elbows multiple times in the attempt, but that was the most fun part! Janmashtami remains one of my favorite and most memorable times of childhood, overflowing with joy and happiness. Even now, with my packed schedule shooting for Shaitani Rasmein, I won’t let the day pass without celebrating. This work is a blessing from Lord Krishna, and it deserves to be celebrated!”
Siddhant shared, "I have played the role of Krishna three times. First, I played all the avatars of Vishnu in a web series, then I portrayed Krishna in a show for Doordarshan. The third time, I performed this role on stage almost 200 times for my Broadway theater play 'Mahabharat: An Epic Tale.' During this time, when I read the essence of the Gita, which states, 'Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata, abhyutthanam adharmasya tad atmanam srijami aham,' people became so emotional that they even touched my feet. The lessons I have learned from them have always inspired me. The first is, 'Do your duty without attachment to the results.' The second, 'Shathe shathyam samacharet,' means one should behave wickedly toward the wicked. I follow both of these principles in my life."
