Mahabharat is seeing a successful re-run on the small screen during the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown. Harish Bhimani, who served as narrator on the mythology show, talks about its relevance even today. The show, produced by BR Chopra, originally ran from 1988 to 1990 on Doordarshan. “‘Mahabharat’ holds a mirror to dos and don’ts of life and nudges us to rise above the perils of emotions and be righteous in life. Even today, the show creates a never seen before charismatic viewing experience right in front of the television sets for viewers of all age groups,” said Bhimani. It is now heading to Star Bharat channel from May 18 onwards. “We are happy to hear that Star Bharat is bringing back the show to entertain viewers during such a turbulent yet stagnant times in the country. In every situation, I search for positivity and all I can say is that the audience should look forward to these deeply philosophical ideas that perpetuate throughout the epic tale and have a lot to teach us about the art of living,” he said.
