With the re-telecast of the Mahabharata on Doordarshan, the actors of the serial are once again in the discussion. While on the show, we got to know many things about actors like Krishna, Arjun, Bhishma Pitamah, Draupadi. Bhim is the powerful character of the serial which was the same in real life. Praveen Kumar Sobti, who was an athlete, played the role of Bhim in the Mahabharata. Praveen was in sports before coming into films. Suddenly, he moved towards acting. Praveen opened the lock of his luck in acting with an omen of 100 rupees. Praveen was in BSF in Gwalior at that time.

The idea of changing careers came in his mind here only. He wanted to do something else to get into the limelight again. Perhaps God listened to his mind and very soon he got the offer of the film. In an interview, Praveen Sobti has mentioned this. He told that he had a camp in Srinagar in those days. There, some people came to shoot the film. Jitendra had a shoot for Lok-Parlok. Seeing Praveen, the director of the film questioned someone about him. One of the girls from his crew came and then asked Praveen to join the acting line. Then he asked for a thousand rupees from someone and they started giving 1100 rupees as omen.

But since Praveen was a government employee at that time, he refused to take the money. After much stubbornness, Praveen took 100 rupees. This was how his acting career started. He went to Mumbai after 10-15 days and then the shooting of the film started for two years. One day his friend suddenly asked him to meet BR Chopra, the director of Mahabharata. In the first meeting, he was selected for Bhim of Mahabharata. Praveen Sobti did a great job in the role of Bhim in Mahabharata. Apart from Mahabharata, he has worked in Sabu's role in Chacha Chaudhary and about 50 films.
