There is no pattern of supremacy, all Gods have their respective roles - Radha Krishna Datta

Life OK’s Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev (Triangle Film Company) obviously focuses on Mahadev (Lord Shiva) but Lord Brahma, the first God of the Hindu Trinity, has a crucial role too. Radha Krishna Datta who plays Lord Brahma in the show, is thoroughly enjoying essaying the role of this powerful God who in Hindu mythology is regarded as the creator of the Universe. To explain Lord Brahma who is more of a philosophical, spiritual and mythological concept, he says, “He is the head of the administration just like there is a head of a political party, the President and a Prime Minister.” Many people confuse between Brahma and the Brahman (the Supreme Cosmic Spirit in the Ved?nta philosophy). What is his take on that? “There is no pattern of supremacy, all Gods have their respective roles.” What is his opinion on the fact that there are hardly any temples dedicated to Lord Brahma? “As shown in our serial, Lord Brahma was cursed by Mahadev that nobody would worship him because he had an ego.” Does it take him a lot of time to get into his costume and for his makeup to be applied? “Not really, my costume which consists of a stole, dhoti and four heads takes me just 15 minutes to put on. Application of my makeup takes 45 minutes. So in an hour, I am ready.” The actor prefers mythological to daily soaps. He explains, “As daily soaps are targeted at women and pivots around female characters, male actors don’t have much footage in them. They do get good roles in mythologicals though.” He thanks his star wife Rupal Patel who plays Kokila in Saath Nibhana Saathiya for encouraging him to take this role. “She is very religious and loves Indian history and mythology. He encouraged me to take up this role as I hadn’t done something like this before.” For more updates on the show keep watching this space.
