Divine Bonds & Dad Duties: Avinesh Rekhi's Lord Shiva Role Mirrors Real-Life Fatherhood
Forget method acting, Avinesh Rekhi is clearly tapping into some divine dad-guilt, or perhaps, divine dad-joy, while playing Lord Shiva. It turns out even gods, or at least the actors portraying them, aren't immune to the universal 'my kid reminds me of me' syndrome. One can only imagine the off-screen wisdom Rekhi is dispensing, perhaps even advising little Ganesh and Kartikey on the finer points of celestial mischief, all while reminiscing about his own progeny. It’s less acting, more profound fatherly projection, and honestly, who can blame him?
Rekhi's portrayal of Lord Shiva in 'Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki' is proving to be a deeply personal journey, extending beyond mere performance. He's found an unexpected emotional echo chamber on set, particularly through his interactions with young Nirnay Samadhiya, who plays Ganesh. Rekhi openly shares that the time spent with his on-screen son naturally evokes cherished memories and sentiments relating to his own son, bridging the gap between his divine character and his real-life role as a father, adding a layer of authenticity and heartfelt connection to his performance.
