In a heartwarming incident on the sets of the popular mythological TV show “Karmadhikari Shanidev,” actor Vineet Kumar Choudhary was left deeply touched and inspired by the devotion of an elderly fan. The fan, who had traveled all the way from Delhi with her son, brought an affirmation that transcended routine interactions with admirers and showcased a unique spiritual bond created by his role in the show.
Vineet Kumar Choudhary, who portrays the revered deity Shanidev on the show, was engrossed in his daily shoot routine when he was informed about a special guest waiting for him on the set. The guest, an elderly woman accompanied by her son, had embarked on a strenuous journey from Delhi to Mumbai for the sole purpose of meeting the actor whose portrayal of Shanidev had touched her deeply. Vineet’s initial surprise soon turned into an emotional connect as he spent time conversing with her.
Reflecting on the memorable encounter, Vineet shared, “Recently, while shooting for ‘Karmadhikari Shanidev,’ I received a special surprise from a very sweet fan on the set. An elderly fan had come with her son all the way from Delhi just to meet me.” For the woman, meeting Vineet was not merely about seeing a favorite television personality but rather a profound search for a deeper spiritual connection.
During their conversation, the fan expressed an extraordinary sentiment. “She told me that I am not just an actor, but she views me as a medium through which she can spiritually connect with Shanidev,” Vineet recounted. This compelling belief that his portrayal extended beyond acting and into the realm of spiritual experience was tremendously moving for Vineet.
“She insisted that her journey was not just to meet me but to immerse herself in the divine energy that my portrayal of Shanidev conveyed. Hearing that completely amazed me,” he continued. Such encounters underscore the unique challenge and enriching nature of portraying divine characters in mythological dramas.

In the vast world of television, actors often find themselves distanced from the lives of those they entertain, yet Vineet’s experience showcased the profound impact a well-crafted role can achieve. “Portraying characters like Shanidev is unique because people build a divine connection with you through your character. I was deeply touched by the elderly fan’s belief and the realization that I am more than just an actor in the eyes of audiences, is inexpressible,” he added.
Gestures like these not only affirm the authenticity and dedication Vineet brings to his role but also signify the enduring legacy of mythological narratives in Indian television. “Karmadhikari Shanidev,” airing Monday to Saturday at 8:30 pm on Shemaroo TV, continues to garner a devoted viewership, largely due to such heartfelt performances that breathe life into these revered characters.
Vineet’s journey on the show has been meticulously crafted not just through the grandiose dialogues and scenes, but also through the actor’s personal investment in understanding and delivering the essence of Shanidev. Mythological characters come with their own set of responsibilities, and for Vineet, the realization that people perceive him as a conduit to divine connections adds both weight and honor to his portrayal.
As the conversation wrapped up, the elderly fan’s eyes sparkled with evident peace and contentment, reiterating her conviction that her travel was indeed fruitful. For Vineet, this acknowledgment was priceless, providing him with a renewed sense of purpose and motivation to continue his journey with “Karmadhikari Shanidev.”
