Amid the lockdown, reruns of old shows like Ramayan and Mahabharat are keeping people entertained. Doordarshan’s decision of bringing back these shows has turned out to be a big hit as people are going gaga over the shows, their cast and lesser-known facts about them.
The latest fact about Mahabharat actor Firoz Khan is now trending all over the internet. Veteran actor Firoz Khan, who portrayed the character of Arjun in the show, changed his real name to his on-screen character. He played his part with great enthusiasm and was hugely appreciated for his sincerity.
Reportedly, this was suggested to him by the scriptwriter of the show Rahi Masoom Raza. According to the report, Raza told Firoz Khan that twenty-three thousand actors had auditioned for the part. But it was Firoz Khan who bagged the role. Hence, Raza told him that he should make the character his own by changing his name.
