Mohit Raina recalls losing his father on the same day he was cast as Lord Shiva in Devon Ke Dev Mahadev: ‘Can’t be a coincidence’

Following his immense popularity in Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, Mohit Raina ventured into the world of cinema with the 2008 comedy film Don Muthu Swami. Later, he gained widespread acclaim for his role alongside Vicky Kaushal in the blockbuster film Uri: The Surgical Strike. He also appeared in projects like Shiddat and Mrs. Serial Killer.

Mohit Raina made a significant career move by leaving television at the peak of his success. In a previous interview with indianexpress.com, he expressed his contentment with this decision. When he was asked if he felt the step was worth it, he said, “Absolutely. When I came to Mumbai, I was never driven by money or fame ever. I didn’t know about these things, so I had nothing to lose. I only wanted to fulfil my creative needs. I was in a relationship with the camera and it did not bother me which medium it belonged to. I have no regrets and God has been kind with the kind of opportunities I got in my career.”

In addition to his film career, Mohit has been part of web series such as Mumbai Diaries 26/11 (2021) and The Freelancer (2023), where he shared the screen with veteran actor Anupam Kher.
