Remember Lord Krishna in B R Chopra's Mahabharat? Nitish Bharadwaj the suave actor is back on television and this time around he's hosting Sony's new show titled Man Mein Hai Visshwas. Produced by Creative Eye, the unique docu-drama will showcase real life experiences and incidents that can be described as nothing but miracles. The spiritual show is touted to be a social program based on people's faith. Nitish, a doctor turned actor who loves theatre, has been concentrating on his political career of late and is also readying to direct a film soon. Kavita Shyam caught up with Nitish who talks about his new show... Do you believe in spirituality? I would say I am an adhyatmik (spiritual) person. I do believe in God. Either you have faith in God or you don't, there's nothing in between. In fact, even scientists pray to God before they begin their experiments. I believe without faith life can seem to be very difficult. What made you take up this show? The show is not one of the typical saas bahu shows which are on air these days. It's based on real life stories of people and it doesn't promote blind faith. Besides, well known people like Pandit t Jasraj are associated with it. Simply put, it's a human interest reality show. And I truly believe that miracles do happen in life, so why not accept reality. If television can use my face for such a good show, then I am all for it.. Why have you always been associated with mythological shows on television? I've hosted and directed a show called Apradhi earlier on Star News. Apradhi was based on the atrocities committed on women and children in India. But yes somehow, I have ended up doing mythological soaps and after playing the role of Lord Krishna, nothing else seemed as challenging. Has any of your faiths come true? Well, I'd prayed hard for a daughter to Ma Durga and I got a beautiful daughter. So, life is all about divine intervention. Why haven't we seen you enough on television? I have never been too much on television from the beginning. I have done a couple of soaps and then anchoring happened. Recently, I made a hundred minutes docu feature based on RSS titled Karmayogi. Also, I've been a member of parliament for BJP which kept me busy and there hasn't been any show which could fire my imagination much. I would love to play Lord Buddha some day. Tell us about your future plans? I am readying to make a commercial film which will start in September. Bollywood is the buzzword today and has evolved immensely. And I am looking forward to this show and the release of my docu feature on 15 August in Delhi and in Mumbai.
