Shrenu Parikh Transforms into Goddess Parvati for Ganesh Kartikey

Sony SAB is set to launch its highly anticipated series, Ganesh Kartikey, which chronicles the extraordinary journey of the divine family in Hindu mythology. The show delves into the untold stories of Lord Shiva (played by Mohit Malik) and Goddess Parvati, exploring their roles as parents to sons who shape the cosmic order. With a blend of wisdom, brotherhood, and family dynamics, the series aims to present an engaging narrative that resonates with viewers on a human level.

Shrenu Parikh’s Unique Approach to Parvati

For actress Shrenu Parikh, stepping into the role of Goddess Parvati required more than just a commitment to grace; it demanded a fresh and authentic interpretation of a character long revered by audiences. Rather than relying on previous portrayals, she chose to immerse herself in literature surrounding the Shiv-Parvati narrative.

“I asked our director and creators if I should watch any references for preparation,” Shrenu explained. “They were firm that I shouldn’t; they wanted originality and freshness in my portrayal.” This guidance led her to avoid visual references completely, opting instead to read extensively about the Shiv Parivar.

Preparation and Insights

Shrenu’s preparation involved numerous workshops and deep dives into the emotional and familial connections within the divine household. “Reading about the Shiv Parivar provided me with a profound understanding of the family dynamics among the gods,” she noted. “This understanding has been invaluable in portraying Parvati authentically.”

Through her immersive process, Shrenu aims to deliver a performance that embodies the essence of Parvati as a mother, wife, and goddess. Her portrayal promises to be both rooted in tradition and refreshingly original, capturing the relatable emotions of this iconic figure. With Ganesh Kartikey, audiences can expect a series that not only entertains but also enriches their understanding of the divine family in Hindu mythology.
