Jayshankar Tripathi to play Mahesh Kumar Sharma in upcoming show Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan!

Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan is set in the holy city of Ujjain, and brings together the family chaos, slice of humour in a humorous way offering audiences a refreshing narrative rooted in every middle class man’s life.

Stepping into the main role of Mahesh Kumar Sharma is actor Jayshankar Tripathi, who will be playing a character of a painfully honest lawyer who is living for truth and cannot tolerate any justice happening around. He is famous in Ujjain as ‘Harishcharndra of Ujjain’. Mahesh’s truth and honesty often land himself in funny, awkward and chaotic situations at court, home and in his surroundings. His life will take an unexpected turn when Shiv Bhagwan himself will come to earth, setting a heartwarming and humorous journey that will turn everyone around him in kindness, truth and self reflection.

Sharing his excitement on joining the show, Jayshankar Tripathi, shares, “Mahesh Kumar Sharma is different from the characters I have played in my life before. What is more fascinating is that my personality is quite similar to the character I am playing. Mahesh is a man of honesty. In today’s world where honesty often comes at a cost, portraying someone who is deeply honest and chooses the truth in every walk of his life is very fulfilling. Mahesh is flawed and an overthinker but sensitive at the same time.”

He further adds, “The show Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan lies in how it uses humour to talk about serious ideas of truth, faith, morality and human contradiction without being preachy. Mahesh is someone who is not asking God to help, but offers God help and that innocence becomes the heart of the show. I am truly delighted to play Mahesh and sharing screen with such an amazingly brilliant cast is going to be an enriching experience for me.”
