However, his true calling lay in acting, and Mohit soon transitioned into television, where he would eventually make his mark.

His early television roles included appearances in shows like Meher and Chehra, but it was his portrayal of Lord Shiva in the mythological series Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev that catapulted him to fame.

Mohit's portrayal of Lord Shiva remains iconic, and it’s often cited as one of the best performances in Indian television history.

Following the success of Mahadev, Mohit continued to impress audiences with his versatility. He took on a variety of roles that showcased his range as an actor, from playing a Navy officer in the historical drama 21 Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897 to a righteous cop in the crime thriller Bhaukaal. Each of these roles highlighted his ability to portray complex characters with depth and nuance.

Mohit’s transition to the big screen was seamless. He made his Bollywood debut with Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019), where he played the role of Major Karan Kashyap. The film was a massive success, and Mohit’s performance was praised for its intensity and authenticity.

As Mohit Raina celebrates another year, his journey from television heartthrob to a respected actor in Indian cinema stands as a testament to his talent and dedication.
