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.”

Tune
into
Star
Bharat
to
watch
Shaitani
Rasmein
from
Monday
to
Saturday
at
10
PM
onwards!
