A captivating new journey into the heart of Indian divinity is set to begin on television. The much-anticipated mythological series, 'Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki Ganesh Kartikey', is scheduled to make its grand premiere on Monday, 6th October at 8 PM. The show promises to immerse viewers in a world of profound devotion, exploring the dynamics of one of the most revered families in Hindu mythology.
A Divine Cast Embodies Sacred Roles
The series brings together a talented ensemble to portray the celestial family. Mohit Malik takes on the monumental role of Lord Shiva, while Shrenu Parikh embodies Goddess Parvati. The divine sons are played by Ekansh Kathrotiya as Lord Ganesha and Subhan Khan as Lord Kartikey. This casting aims to present a fresh yet authentic visual representation of the deities for the audience.
Auspicious Beginnings at a Sacred Abode
Prior to the launch, in a move to seek blessings and connect with the essence of their characters, the cast undertook a spiritual pilgrimage. They visited the revered Thiruttani Murugan Temple in Tamil Nadu. This temple is one of the six holy abodes, or Arupadaiveedu, dedicated to Lord Murugan, another name for Kartikey.
This visit was not merely ceremonial. The actors and creators have described it as an auspicious start to their creative endeavor, reinforcing their commitment to authenticity. The pilgrimage served to ground the project in sincerity, as the team seeks to translate a sacred narrative to the screen with respect and depth.
Actors Dive Deep into Their Divine Characters
Portraying such widely worshipped figures comes with immense responsibility, a fact acknowledged by the lead actors. Mohit Malik, reflecting on his role as Lord Shiva, shared his transformative experience. He revealed that the role demanded more than just performance; it required a deep immersion into the philosophy and essence of Shiva.
"As an actor, I found it deeply moving to explore Shiva not only as the Mahadev, but also as a husband and a father," Malik stated. He emphasized the show's human angle, portraying the god navigating love, challenges, and family dynamics. He expressed hope that audiences would see reflections of their own lives in the struggles, emotions, and bonds within the divine family.
Shrenu Parikh, playing Goddess Parvati, echoed similar sentiments, calling it a huge responsibility. "Bringing alive a character who is revered by millions, while also portraying her as a woman with deeply human emotions, has been an incredibly fulfilling journey," she said. Parikh highlighted the show's focus on familial bonds, love, and sacrifice, elements that make the divine family relatable to every household.
She particularly cherished exploring Parvati's maternal relationship with Ganesh and Kartikey. The actress also praised the on-set camaraderie with her co-stars, noting that their real-life bond as a unit translates beautifully into their on-screen portrayal of the Shiv Parivaar.
A Spectacle with a Soulful Message
'Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki Ganesh Kartikey' is positioned not just as a visual spectacle but as a narrative with a resonant message. By delving into the familial aspects of the deities, the show aims to bridge the gap between the divine and the mortal. It suggests that the core values of love, duty, and understanding within a family are universal, transcending the boundaries between heaven and earth.
With its spiritual groundwork, dedicated cast, and focus on timeless relationships, the series is poised to offer a fresh perspective on a beloved mythological saga. Viewers can tune in starting October 6th to witness this magnum opus that celebrates both the divinity and the humanity of the sacred Shiv Parivaar.
