Unknown Facts behind Mahabharat star plus 1) Pooja Sharma takes three hours every day to get ready to play the character of Draupadi. She is usually the first one to reach the set as early as 5 am. 2) Rohit Bharadwaj was initially sceptical about accepting the role of Yudhisthir as he did not find the role too convincing in BR Chopra’s ‘Mahabharat’. The team convinced him the show was being made differently before he agreed to play the character. 3) Sheikh took one year to prepare for his character as he was not sure he could be as heroic as Arjun. The diction and reading sessions helped Shaheer also to improve his Hindi. 4) During the promo shoot, Arjun had to lift up a seven-foot tall bow. Shaheer could not do it as the weapon was heavy and there was a storm fan in front of him. The director then pushed the fan closer and asked him to believe he was Arjun, which led to a perfect shot. 5) Saurabh Singh Gujjar, a professional wrestler, who plays Bheem, eats around 35 eggs a day to maintain his body in spite of being a vegetarian. 6) Vin Rana is as narcissistic as his character Nakul and titivates his look in the mirror several times a day. 7) Lavanya Bharadwaj, aka Sahadev, sustained a lot of injuries when he fell from the horse in different scenes. 8) In one shot, Sahadev actor was on a horse while Kunti’s rath (chariot) followed him from behind. Lavanya’s horse started moving very slowly due to which Kunti’s rath caught up with his. The noise made the horse turn and face the oncoming rath head on. Scared, Lavanya jumped off the horse and ran away. 9) Theme jewellery for Draupadi is LOTUS, as the story says that the wife of the Pandavas emanated the fragrance of the blue lotus. The colour associated with her is red and the jewellery has been sourced from Kolkata, Madhya Pradesh and some places in South India. 10) The Pandavas have been casted on basis of what comes to the fore with Shaheer Shaikh’s chiselled looks (Arjun), Saurabh Singh Gujjar’s large stature (Bheem), Rohit Bharadwaj’s maturity (Yudhisthir), Vin Rana’s impish look (Nakul) and Lavanya Bharadwaj’s sharpness(Sahadev).
