A number of shows have been made on the life of Shri Krishna over the years. Some shows were not entirely based on him, yet there was a lot that audiences learnt about him and his teachings

On the occasion of Janmashtami, let's take a look at some of the television shows that have focussed on the life of Lord Krishna and his teachings...

​Mahabharat

BR Chopra's Mahabharat will top this list because it is one of the oldest and most loved shows. In this show, Nitish Bharadwaj played the role of Lord Krishna for which he is known even today. This show aired in the year 1988 and lasted for around two years.

4/7

​Mahabharat

Even though the story of Mahabharat is the same, in this new age TV show by Siddharth Kumar Tewari, Sourabh Raaj Jain played the role of Shri Krishna and was very convincing for the audiences. Like the earlier Mahabharat, even this one received a lot love from the audiences. This was aired on TV in 2013.

This is a 2018 show that tells the eternal love story of Radha and Krishna. Actor Sumedh Mudgalkar played Krishna and Mallika Singh was seen playing Radha in the show.
