COLORS’ mythological magnum opus ‘Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyag Tandav’ is set to take an intense turn with the arrival of Swarth, a powerful asur whose birth marks the advent of a new Yug, ‘Treta Yug’. The emergence of Swarth—the embodiment of self-interest—poses a grave threat to the world, compelling Mahadev to intervene and protect humanity. In response, Shiv erects Jyotirlingas as a divine refuge, ensuring that his devotees can continue their spiritual path despite the growing influence of Swarth. Stepping into this pivotal role is actor and professional wrestler Saurav Gurjar, known for his commanding presence in mythological narratives.
Talking about his role in the show, Saurav shares, “I’m thrilled to be part of COLORS’ renowned show Shiv Shakti! It feels amazing to return to the channel after so many years. In Shiv Shakti, I play Swarth—a powerful character with shades of self-interest, something we all experience in real life. It’s a strong and intense role, and I’m honoured to bring it to life. Returning to acting after years as an athlete is a big challenge, but I embrace it wholeheartedly. The sets of Shiv Shakti are spectacular, the costumes and jewellery are stunning, and the drama is very compelling—I’m enjoying every moment of it! A big thank you to COLORS and the entire team for this incredible opportunity. I truly hope that the audience will connect with my character.”
Watch ‘Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyag Tandav’ every Monday to Sunday at 8:00 PM only on COLORS.
