"When I was offered the role of Mahadev, I couldn't deny. I have a very strong connection with Mahadev and this time around when I was approached, I instantly said yes," Tarun said in a statement.

"Radha (actress Mallika Singh) and Krishn (actor Sumedh Mudgalkar) are my two most favourite people on the set. Everyone is warm and welcoming," he added.

Tarun Khanna has played the character of 'Lord Shiva' in two other shows before 'RadhaKrishn' & the actor is now playing the character for the third time on-screen. Isn't this a great coincidence?

For the uninitiated, Tarun had earlier played the role of Lord Shiva in shows "Karmaphal Daata Shani" and "Paramavatar Shri Krishna".
