Earlier, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Jibraan Khan had said, “This industry as good as it is, is also very brutal. But to get something on your own merit is wonderful. My father played Arjun in Mahabharat, he is the reason why I branched out into acting as a kid. I did ads and then acting. It took my three years to get a good film to assist on, that was Brahmastra, and that was again on my merit. Even now, it is my own struggle, so I am liking it.”

It's said that in the late '80s, trains in various parts of the country would pause for an hour on Sundays, as people gathered around TVs to watch the latest episode of Mahabharat. The BR Chopra series had such a profound impact that it united the nation, at least for an hour each week.
Years later, during the pandemic, the show made a return to television screens, allowing people to reconnect with Hindu mythology in its finest form.
