“It is not just about choosing a disciple, but about staying true to the responsibilities that come with playing Guru Dronacharya” says Jiten Lalwani in Sony SAB’s Hastinapur Ke Veer

Sony SAB’s Hastinapur Ke Veer is bringing alive the untold childhood journey of the Pandavas and Kauravas, where every lesson and every relationship shape their future. As Guru Dronacharya (Jiten Lalwani) trains the young princes, an unexpected meeting is about to test one of the most defining moments of his journey as a teacher.

In the upcoming episodes, while Guru Dronacharya trains the Pandavas and Kauravas, he recognizes Arjun’s (Urva Savaliya) exceptional dedication and potential in archery. Just as he begins shaping Arjun’s journey, a young boy named Eklavya (Arjun Shukla) arrives and leaves everyone amazed with his remarkable archery skills. Deeply inspired by Guru Dronacharya, Eklavya requests the legendary guru to accept him as his disciple. While Dronacharya is impressed by the young archer’s talent and determination, Eklavya’s request puts him in an unexpected dilemma, making him question whether he can stay true to the promise he has made to Arjun.

How will Eklavya’s arrival change Guru Dronacharya’s journey as a teacher?

Speaking about the upcoming track, Jiten Lalwani shared, “For Dronacharya, teaching is about recognizing talent and helping every student become the best version of themselves. Eklavya’s arrival is a very important moment because he is a young boy with incredible dedication, humility and a genuine desire to learn. At the same time, Dronacharya has already recognized something special in Arjun and carries a responsibility towards him. That is what makes this phase so interesting. It is not just about choosing a disciple, but about staying true to the responsibilities that come with playing Guru Dronacharya.”
