Nitish Bharadwaj Biography

Nitish Bharadwaj is an Indian actor most popularly known for his role as Shree Krishna in B.R.Chopra’s television serial Mahabharata, telecasted during late 80’s and early 90’s on Doordarshan. He is a former MP of Lok Sabha too. Apart from his role as Shree Krishna, he is also known for his role as Gandharva in Padmarajan’s last movie ‘Jnan Gandharvan’ (Malayalam) – released in the year 1991. He has also worked for a few more television serials and Bollywood movies, though roles not significant as these two. His other serials include – Vishnu Puranam as Shri Krishna and Ramayan (TV Series by B R Chopra). He has also anchored the program Man Mein Hai Visshwas (2006-2007). His Bollywood movies include – Trishagni (1988), Sangeeth (1992), Prem Shakthi (1994) and Nache Nagin Gali Gali (1989). But in all these movies, he did less significant roles only. He is always remembered as Krishna or Gandharva by his fans.

 

 A lot of puranic (Hindu mythology) serials have appeared on Indian television. Yet still now, no other actor has been able to reprise Sree Krishna as powerful as Nitesh Bharwaj has done it on screen about 25 years back. That shows the real talent of this actor. Truth is that, seeing him even many people started believing that he looks exactly the same as Lord Krishna. He has also done Avatars of Vishnu in some of Chopra's other works, such as Vishnu Puran. Nitish Bharadwaj has also starred in many Marathi movies like Anapekshit and Pasanta ahe Mulgi.

 

He is a qualified veterinary surgeon from Bombay Veterinary College, Parel, Mumbai. He was a former member of the Lok Sabha as well. He was BJP candidate and was elected from Jamshedpur in 1996. But he couldn’t win in 1999 lok sabha elections. He lost to Laxman Singh in the elections. Nitish Bharadwaj is married to Smita Gate since 2009. Earlier he was married to Monisha Bharadwaj, a Bharatnatyam Dancer & an author. Now he resides in London.

 

‘Jnan Gandharvan’ still remains a classic romantic mystery of the great director of Malayalam Padmarajan. Similar to the climax of the movie where Gandharvan leaves his lover on earth and returns back, the director too died within one week of its release. It still stands a mystery as Padmarajan was in good health before the movie release.
