“Kripacharya was an ideal teacher who remained steadfast in his commitment to duty and righteousness despite the turmoil around him,” says Chetanya Adib on his role in Sony SAB’s Hastinapur Ke Veer

Sony SAB continues to expand its storytelling canvas with Hastinapur Ke Veer , an upcoming mythological drama that delves into the formative years of the Pandavas and Kauravas. Set against the majestic backdrop of Hastinapur, the show brings to life the untold stories, relationships, and defining moments that shaped these legendary warriors. Adding further depth to this narrative is veteran actor Chetanya Adib , who will essay the pivotal role of Kripacharya , one of the most respected gurus of the era.

Chetanya Adib, known for his compelling and strong presence in theatre and Indian television, has consistently brought depth and restraint to his performances. With Hastinapur Ke Veer, he takes on the role of Kripacharya, a figure known for his discipline, clarity, and unwavering sense of duty. As the royal guru, he trained both the Pandavas and Kauravas with fairness and precision, maintaining a sense of order within the gurukul. His approach is measured and rooted in structure, ensuring that the princes understand their roles and responsibilities, making him a steady and grounding presence in their journey.

Speaking about his role, Chetanya Adib shares , “When I started reading about Kripacharya, I was drawn to how composed and self-assured he is. Kripacharya was an ideal teacher who remained steadfast in his commitment to duty and righteousness despite the turmoil around him. Playing him makes me reflect on discipline and the idea of duty beyond self. He operates with a strong sense of purpose, never reacting impulsively but responding with thought and structure. As an actor, that required me to slow down and truly understand his mindset and exploring that restraint and discipline has been a very enriching experience for me.”

With Hastinapur Ke Veer, audiences can look forward to a fresh and emotionally engaging take on the Mahabharat, where the narrative goes beyond the battles to explore the relationships, values and choices that shaped these legendary characters.
