Sourabh Raaj Jain, widely recognized for his compelling portrayal of Lord Krishna in the television series "Mahabharat" (2013-2014), has expressed his deep desire to play the role of Rabindranath Tagore on screen. The actor, who has become a household name through his various roles in mythological dramas, sees Tagore as "an embodiment of creativity" and is fascinated by his multifaceted life.

Jain, born on December 1, 1985, in Delhi, began his acting career in 2004 with the youth show "Remix". He then appeared in several shows before gaining fame for his portrayals of various deities, including Lord Vishnu in "Jai Shri Krishna" and "Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev", and Lord Shiva in "Mahakali — Anth Hi Aarambh Hai". His role as Lord Krishna in "Mahabharat" was a "game-changer" for him, earning him widespread acclaim and several awards.

While Jain cherishes the enduring appreciation for his role as Krishna, he is also eager to showcase his versatility by taking on diverse characters. In a recent interview, he revealed his long-held aspiration to portray Rabindranath Tagore, stating that he finds it strange that no screenplay has been dedicated to Tagore's life, despite him being a tall figure and a man of many talents in Indian history. He believes Tagore's iconic combination of being a painter, composer, lyricist, and philosopher makes him a fascinating subject for a biopic. Jain also mentioned that Tagore's height would be an added benefit for him, given his own height.

Sourabh is currently appearing as Raghav, a rockstar, in the show "Tu Dhadkan Main Dil". He describes the show as emotionally driven and distinct from typical dramas, highlighting its focus on healing and subtle emotions. Jain is drawn to roles that challenge him emotionally and portray flawed, complex, and human characters.

In addition to his television work, Jain has also explored other mediums, including web series like "Qubool Hai 2.0" and music videos. He has participated in reality shows like "Nach Baliye 9" and "Khatron Ke Khiladi 11", showcasing his dancing and stunt performing skills. He has also lent his voice as the narrator for the show "Radha Krishna".

Jain's ability to seamlessly transition between mythological, historical, and contemporary roles has made him a popular figure in the Indian television industry. He has received numerous awards for his performances, including the Indian Telly Award for Best Actor in a Lead Role for "Mahabharat".

Looking ahead, Sourabh Raaj Jain is set to portray Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the upcoming film "Veer Murarbaji". He has also completed filming for "The BraFitter", a sci-fi film, and an upcoming OTT series by Rajshri Productions.
