Mahabharat enjoyed such popularity among the masses that every actor associated with the show became a star and had a fanbase. One such actor is Chetan Hansraj who played the young Balram. Chetan, who was a child actor back then recalls receiving a ton of fan mail. He shares, “I was 14-years-old when I played Balram in Mahabharat, and it was completely magical. All of us used to get lots of feedback and messages from fans via letters. I was in school and every day I used to receive gunny bags full of letters. Back then, there was a photograph-autograph system with fan mails. So, fans would mail me an empty envelope with a return stamp attached and had to sign the picture and send it back with the letter. It was my daily routine. Before going to school, I would sign my pictures and put them in the envelopes. Every morning my father would give me a stack of envelopes with pictures to sign. It was a wonderful time and I have so many memories attached to the show and I am glad I am getting the opportunity to relive it on COLORS.”
Watch Mahabharat on COLORS daily from 7 pm to 9 pm
