Tarun Khanna to play Tulsidas in 'Vighnaharta Ganesh'

The actor, who has been part of several mythological TV shows, including Paramavatar Shri Krishna and Ram Siya Ke Luv Kush, talks about his prep

Tarun Khanna has been roped in to play Tulsidas in the long-running serial, 'Vighnaharta Ganesh'. The actor, who has been part of several mythological shows, including 'Paramavatar Shri Krishna' and 'Ram Siya Ke Luv Kush', will be a part of the fresh storyline of the show, which will soon be aired in the episodes to come.

Says Khanna, “I am super stoked to be a part of a show that has been successfully on for years. I believe that portraying the saint and poet Tulsidas is a huge responsibility, hence I decided to take it up as a challenge. I didn’t want to let go of it because I believe a role like this doesn’t come to you often.”

Further adding, the actor said, "When I was offered this role I knew very little about this character, so I googled, did my research and grabbed all the resources that I could gather to read about it. The production team also helped me a lot in that."

The storyline will be about Tulsidas' whole journey, from his early days, childhood and then how he became a saint. He was not a Brahmin from birth. He got married and his life changed after marriage. He then got inspiration and went on a journey where he actually wrote 'Ramcharitmanas'. Very few people know that he had written few poems earlier also but nothing became so popular."
