Mohit Raina

Known to be the one of the actors who have portrayed the role of Lord Shiva in the most convincing manner, Mohit just could not have asked for anything better. There have been rumors that his look as Lord Shiva was extremely convincing in the iconic role of Lord Shiva from the show ‘Devon Ke Dev – Mahadev’, that, wherever he went, there used to be people who used to touch his feet and seek his blessings! His ‘connection’ with the divine just did not end with this show. As a matter of fact, post his performance in ‘Devon Ke Dev – Mahadev’ (the show ended in the year 2014), Mohit went onto do another mythological show named ‘Mahabharat’.

Rohit Bakshi

This one is definitely a shocker! For all those who follow Anupamaa will surely know about Rohit Bakshi who plays the role of Anuj’s brother in law and Barkhaa’s husband Ankush, the very person who returns back to India from the USA after having burnt his hands in business on the foreign shores. But, did you know that, it’s the very same Rohit Bakshi who has, to his credit, portrayed the role of Lord Shiva in the show ‘Siya Ke Ram’ and also Bhairav in Shaktipeeth Ke Bhairav. The actor had even shared his photo wherein he has been dressed up as Lord Shiva. He had captioned the post as, “Happy Mahashivratri #harharmahadev #bholenath #shiva”.

Amit Mehra
He had played the role of Lord Shiva in ‘Sankat Mochan Mahabali Hanuman’. The actor shared his memories of the show on social media with the adjoining photograph and a caption that read “Happy Mahashivratri. I still feel very grateful that I got a chance to play the role of the god I worship. I am thankful to Lord Shiva for his endless blessings and want more blessings in terms of knowledge and love to serve myself and others #harharmahadev #mahashivratri #bholebaba #shiva #lordshiva #indiangod #india #blessed #worship #life #love #happiness #yogi #yoga #peace #god #indianfestival #sankatmochanmahabalihanuman #sonytv #mahadev #omnamahshivay @contiloepictures”.

Sourabhraaj Jain

This was followed by actor Sourabhraaj Jain’s portrayal of Lord Shiva in the show ‘Mahakali — Anth Hi Aarambh Hai’. The actor had even shared memories of the show on social media by posting, I feel blessed in this journey to have gotten the opportunity to play a role that is so strong, so powerful, so passionate and all in all so enriching. The growth happened not only as an actor but also a human being and today as I look back I truly truly feel blessed! Wishing you all Happy Mahashivratri. CountingMyBlessings”.

Arun Govil
The legendary actor Arun Govil is considered as one of the earliest actors to play a role of God (Lord Rama to be precise). The popularity that he got with the role of Lord Rama in the epic show ‘Ramayan’ is seamless and resonates even till date. But, did you know that, it’s the same Arun Govil who had also portrayed the role of Lord Shiva! Well, you heard it right. The actor had portrayed the role of Lord Shiva in a film titled ‘Shiv Mahima’. The film was released in 1992.

Rana Yashodhan Singh

As a close second, comes actor Rana Yashodhan Singh, who had portrayed the role of Lord Shiva in the show ‘Om Namah Shivay’, a TV series which had aired on Doordarshan National from the year 1997 till 2001. Rana had shared his look as Lord Shiva on social media with the apt caption, “Memories of the moment, when I was so much ONE with GOD that I became ONE #omnamahshivaya first project (1996-2001) #ddnational #doordarshan @doordarshannational #omnamahshivay #omnamahshivaye #omnamahshivaya #harharmahadev #lordshiva #shiva #shiv #shivshankar #actor #actorslife #actorlife #acting #actinglife #actingislife #yashodhanrana #actoryashrana #ranayashodhansingh real #cobra on the neck”.
