Nitish told in an interview- 'I was cast for the role of Vidur earlier, but suddenly someone else was given the role of Vidur in my place. I knew Ravi and we also did films together. When I went and asked Ravi, Ravi said that you are now 23-24 years old and Vidur will get old after a few episodes. It won't suit you. After this, I had no job. After some time I got an offer again. I was being cast as Nakula in the show. I refused to do that. I wanted to play Abhimanyu, I told Ravi then he said that he will think.

After some time I was called for screen test of Krishna's role but I refused. I told him that for the role of Krishna you need an experienced human being. How can you give the role of a great man to a new person? So he told me that you wanted to do a good role once you do a screen test. Just then did I give a screen test and it was final. Nitish Bhardwaj has now entered the digital world as well. He has made a digital debut with Satish Rajwade's web series Parallel. Swapnil Joshi is in the lead character in this web series. The character of Nitish Bhardwaj is Sudarshan Chakrapani. The story of the web series is quite mysterious.
