Last Updated: Dressed in a casual white floral print T-shirt, pants and a cap, Sourabh Raaj Jain looked unapologetically handsome as he posed for the lenses. Remember Sourabh Raaj Jain, who played Lord Krishna in the renowned television series Mahabharat? The actor is now gearing up to impress the audience with his upcoming TV show Tu Dhadkan Main Dil. Ahead of the show's grand premiere, the actor took a spiritual sabbatical at the serene and sacred Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai. Taking to his Instagram stories, the actor dropped a couple of pictures from his spiritual visit on June 20. Dressed in a casual white t-shirt with blue floral prints, white pants and a cap, the actor looked unapologetically handsome as he posed for the lenses, exuding his bright smile. The picture presumably captured the actor before his visit inside the temple, as he was holding a puja thali in the first snippet. His caption read, 'Apka ashirwaad sab par bana rahey," expressing faith before this upcoming show. The second picture gave fans a distant glimpse of the holy Siddhivinayak temple. Sourabh posted it alongside 'Ganpati Bappa Morya" and the details of his show. Coming to Tu Dhadkan Main Dil, the show draws inspiration from the classic Beauty and the Beast narrative. It explores how love, music and emotional connection can bring out softness even in the ruthless hearts. Known for taking on a range of roles across genres, Sourabh Raaj Jain will be playing Raghav, a tough, emotionally reserved man, in Tu Dhadkan Main Dil. Raghav's character's life takes an unexpected turn when he's faced with love, vulnerability, and the challenge of reconnecting with his estranged daughter. Produced by Swastik Productions (SKT Origins), Tu Dhadkan Main Dil is all set to premiere on Star Plus from June 23 at 7 PM.
