MUMBAI: "Nazar" actor Malhar Pandya feels very lucky to have got the opportunity to essay the role of Karna in "RadhaKrishn".

He grew up listening to many chapters from the Bhagavad Gita.

"I am very thankful to my grandmother and my mother as both of them have given me important knowledge related to mythology, including stories of many great warriors from 'Ramayan' to 'Mahabharat' and Parashurama," said Malhar.
