The classic show Tenali Rama has been renewed for a new season this December and is airing on Sab TV. The show celebrates the life of Tenali, a renowned Indian historical character. Krishna Bharadwaj has reprised his titular character in the new season much to the delight of his fans. In his latest interview, the actor spoke about how Tenali Rama changed his life. He claimed that before the show he was struggling financially, suffering from depression. Krishna expressed his delight for Tenali Rama’s return on screen as well.
Speaking about how Tenali Rama impacted his life, Krishna Bharadwaj told ETimes that it made him a “happier person.” He stated, “I was sad and depressed because of certain circumstances in life. But playing Tenali Rama for 3 years, I realised when it ended that I am a happier person. I solved things in a much calmer manner. When you play a character, which is very different from your personal energy, it psychologically affects you.”
Krishna also acknowledged that this show was a benchmark in his professional life. He noted that before bagging this show he had been out of work for 4 years and was struggling without money and friends. “I was struggling hard to survive in the industry. Coming from a small town and a humble family, I had no monetary or financial help from anybody. It was a difficult time when Tenali came to me and beggars can’t choosers,” Krishna added. The actor also mentioned being in depression and taking medication. He stated that it was a difficult time as he could not even discuss it with his family.
Sharing about stepping into the shoes of Tenali Rama again, Krishna expressed that the character spreads a lot of happiness and has an impact on anyone personally. He added, “I realised it is time to be happy again and a human should never say no to a thing which brings happiness. I am really happy to play Rama once again.”
As per the promo of the new season which started airing on December 16, Tenali, once a respected counsellor in the kingdom of Vijayanagar, has fallen out of favour with the people. But he returns with a newfound sense of purpose, bringing not only his intellect but also his compassion as he embarks on a new quest to protect the kingdom from an upcoming threat.
