Summary
- Subhan Khan plays Lord Kartikey, the valiant warrior son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati

The newly launched mythological series "Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki - Ganesh Kartikey" has been captivating audiences with its divine storytelling and emotional portrayal of Lord Shiva's family. At the heart of this series is the young actor Subhan Khan, who essays the role of Lord Kartikey, the valiant warrior son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
Subhan, who considers playing Lord Kartikey a dream and a huge responsibility, has been deeply immersed in preparation for the role. He has been watching animated stories, reading books, and learning Sanskrit shlokas to understand the divine figure's leelas (divine acts) and personality. Subhan has also received guidance from his mentor, Bhatia sir, who has helped him with his performance and taught him how to carry himself like a warrior.
The actor feels a personal connection with the character, as he shares Kartikey's traits of discipline, focus, and responsibility. Subhan brings these qualities to life on screen through his nuanced performance, focusing on Kartikey's eyes and body language to convey his seriousness and unwavering courage.
Subhan also enjoys the thrilling aspect of the role, particularly the action sequences. He enthusiastically describes the mock fighting and sword or spear practice, which he likens to a "super cool workout class." However, he also acknowledges the challenges of performing in the elaborate costumes, which, despite looking amazing, can be quite heavy and require immense skill to move in while delivering lines perfectly.
A highlight of the series is the divine brotherhood between Lord Kartikey and Lord Ganesha, beautifully portrayed by Subhan and his co-star Ekansh Kathrotiya. The two actors have developed a warm, off-screen bond, which they say makes their on-screen chemistry and scenes more genuine and effortless.
As "Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki - Ganesh Kartikey" continues to captivate audiences, Subhan Khan's portrayal of Kartikey stands out for its authenticity, charm, and grace, proving that even the youngest actors can bring powerful gods to life with dedication and heart.
