Chetanya Adib as Kripacharya
Veteran actor Chetanya Adib plays the pivotal role of Kripacharya, one of the most respected gurus of the era, adding depth to the narrative. Adib, known for his commanding presence in theatre and Indian television, brings nuance and restraint to the character. Kripacharya, the royal guru to the Pandavas and Kauravas, is depicted as a disciplined, fair, and methodical teacher who maintains order in the gurukul and ensures the princes understand their duties.
Adib's Perspective on the Role
Speaking about his role, Chetanya Adib shared, “As soon as I started reading about Kripacharya, I got attracted to the way he is so composed and confident. Kripacharya was an ideal teacher who remained steadfast in his commitment to duty and righteousness amidst all turmoil. When I’m playing him, I think about discipline and duty beyond the self. He moves with a clear purpose, never acting on impulse, but with thought and structure. As an actor, that required me to slow down and understand his mindset. Exploring that restraint and discipline has been an enriching experience.”
