Was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude: Shubham Sahrawat on being offered Kaamdhenu Gaumata
Mumbai: Prem Sagar and Shiv Sagar, under their banner Sagar World Multimedia, have brought a new mythological series, Kaamdhenu Gaumata, which revolves around the life of the holy wish-fulfilling cow. The show is currently on air on Star Bharat, with Shubham Sahrawat essaying the role of Vishwamitra.
Asked about his reaction when he was offered the role, he said, “I was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude! It felt like a divine blessing. IтАЩve always admired mythological storytelling, and when I heard I was being considered for Kaamdhenu Gaumata, I knew instantly this was something truly special. The story, the scale, the emotionтАФit was an instant yes for me.”
He also revealed that preparing for the show was both “thrilling and intense” for him. He said, “I dived deep into scriptures, had detailed discussions with the creative team, and did a lot of internal work to understand the spiritual and emotional depth of my character.”
“ThereтАЩs a certain responsibility that comes with portraying someone from mythologyтАФyouтАЩre not just performing; youтАЩre becoming a bridge between ancient wisdom and todayтАЩs audience,” he added.
Playing a mythological character requires going through a physical transformation and also getting the language or dialect of that time correctly. Shubham accepted that both came with their own set of challenges.
“The physical transformation tests your discipline, but getting the language and dialect right tests your soul. Every word has to carry the weight of that era, that wisdom. I personally love working on languageтАФitтАЩs like music when you get it right,” he said.
When you soak into a character from a different time, it sometimes gets difficult to maintain a balance between reel and real. He shared that it happens with good preparation. “I completely surrender to the character while shooting, but once the camera cuts, I step back and remind myself who I am. Meditation helped me a lot during this processтАФit kept me grounded, yet connected to the spiritual energy of the role,” Shubham concluded.
