Mumbai: Some television shows become memories and fade in time, while a few become a part of generations. B.R. Chopra’s ‘Mahabharat’ is one such iconic series that continues to hold a special place in the hearts of audiences decades later as well. Shemaroo TV now presents the legendary epic ‘MAHABHARAT’ on television daily from 14th September at 7:00 PM, giving audiences an opportunity to experience the timeless saga and allowing a new generation to discover its unforgettable characters and stories.
For millions of viewers and households, Mahabharat was never just a television series; it is a shared cultural memory and a ritual. From families gathering around the television to watch the epic unfold to conversations around its characters, relationships, and powerful teachings, the show created an unparalleled connection with audiences. Shemaroo TV is therefore not just making an announcement but extending an invitation to relive those cherished memories with the entire family. Decades later, it remains one of the most watched and most discussed television adaptations of the epic ever made, not only in India but all around the world.
At the heart of Mahabharat lies a story that continues to remain relevant across generations. The epic explores dharma, family, friendship, loyalty, duty, ambition, sacrifice and the eternal battle between good and bad. Through its larger-than-life characters and emotionally powerful relationships, the series offers stories and values that continue to resonate with audiences even today.

Sep 10, 2026Mahabharat on Shemaroo TV also comes at a time when audiences are increasingly looking for content that can be enjoyed together as a family. With its rich storytelling, memorable characters and timeless values, the series offers viewers an opportunity to step away from the fast-paced world of contemporary entertainment and connect with a story that has been passed down through generations.
Mukesh Khanna, “I never imagined that a character I played decades ago would become something people would still discuss with me today. I remember, I was actually offered Duryodhan first, but I refused because I wanted to play Arjun or Karna, and somehow, I ended up becoming Bhishma Pitamah. Looking back, that decision changed my life completely; Bhishma became the role people remember me for even today. The most amazing part was that everyone would watch the show with their families. That is when we realised this was no longer just a television show; the characters had become a part of people’s lives. I’m delighted that Shemaroo TV is bringing B.R. Chopra’s Mahabharat to its viewers, giving us all a chance to revisit those unforgettable memories. I’m looking forward to seeing these characters live on TV once again and experiencing that same affection from audiences all over again”
Its iconic characters, dramatic moments and unforgettable storytelling remain part of family conversations. For younger audiences, meanwhile, the show offers an opportunity to experience one of India’s most celebrated television adaptations of the Mahabharat and understand why its characters and stories became such an enduring part of popular culture.

Sep 10, 2026Gajendra Chauhan, “The best part about playing Yudhishthir was that he was such an important character that whether he was present in a scene or not, he was always being discussed. That made the character incredibly significant to the story and made the journey very special for me. Today, seeing B.R. Chopra’s Mahabharat find its way to Shemaroo TV feels special because it brings back not just a legendary story, but the characters and memories that audiences have held close for so many years.”
Whether it is a nostalgic look back at a beloved television classic or a first introduction to an epic that has shaped generations, Mahabharat promises to bring families together, one story, one character and one timeless value at a time.
With this move, Shemaroo TV continues to position itself as the home of storytelling, deep-rooted in Indian culture, with content designed to travel across all age groups.
