&TV continues to strengthen its promise of delivering light-hearted, relatable, and feel-good entertainment with its upcoming divine dramedy Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan! Set in the holy city of Ujjain, the show brings together slice-of-life humour, family chaos, and a gentle mythological twist, offering audiences a refreshing narrative rooted in everyday Indian life.
Stepping into the central role of Mahesh Kumar Sharma is actor Jayshankar Tripathi, who will be seen portraying a painfully honest lawyer whose unwavering commitment to truth sets him apart in a world driven by shortcuts and half-truths. Known as the ‘Harishchandra of Ujjain,’ Mahesh’s honesty lands him in awkward, funny, and often chaotic situations at home, in court, and within his community. His life takes an unexpected turn when Shiv Bhagwan himself descends to Earth, setting off a heart-warming and humorous journey that gently nudges everyone around him towards kindness, self-reflection, and truth.
Expressing his excitement about joining the show, Jayshankar Tripathi shares,
“Mahesh Kumar Sharma is unlike any character I have played before. He is a man who cannot lie; even a harmless white lie makes him uncomfortable. In today’s world, where honesty often comes at a cost, portraying someone who chooses truth every single time is both challenging and deeply fulfilling. What drew me to this role is its simplicity and depth. Mahesh is flawed, sensitive, and overthinks a lot, yet he never compromises on his values.”
He adds, “The beauty of ‘Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan!’ lies in how it uses humour to talk about serious ideas—truth, faith, morality, and human contradictions without being preachy. Mahesh doesn’t ask God for help; instead, he offers to help Bhagwan, and that innocence becomes the heart of the show. Sharing screen space with such a talented ensemble cast and being part of a story that blends laughter with meaning has been an incredibly enriching experience.”
With its lovable characters, witty writing, and a divine comic twist, the show promises stress-free entertainment that resonates with the entire family, proving that when honesty meets heaven, laughter is inevitable.
Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan! will soon premiere on &TV and stream exclusively on Hindi Z5
