Shani, Hanuman, Santoshi Maa – Here is how TV’s divinity looks in real life!
Playing a god on TV is no mean feat. It takes a lot of effort with hours going into the makeup. Plus, one needs to bear up with the heavy headgear. However, it gets you tremendous recognition. On the other hand, there is a risk of getting slotted or associated with the image forever. Gurmeet Chaudhary will always be Ram as will Mohit Raina as Shiva.
