From medical examiner to television actor
Before entering the television industry, Shakti Anand was working as a medical examiner in Delhi. He received an opportunity to act in the popular television series Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi during that period.
One of his early acting appearances was in the telefilm Nayan Jyoti, where he portrayed a blind character. Over the years, he went on to become a familiar face on Indian television through several roles.
His recent television credits include Channa Mereya, in which he played Amber Singh. Since July 2025, he has also been associated with the spiritual sequel to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, reprising his role as Advocate Hemant Virani.
Mahadev And Sons follows a family conflict
Shakti is now seen in Mahadev And Sons, a family drama centred on Mahadev, a disciplined patriarch who runs his household according to his principles.
The story explores tensions that emerge when Mahadev’s children challenge his strict approach to family life. The resulting generational differences form a key part of the show’s narrative.
The series is an official adaptation of the Tamil television drama Pandian Stores 2, originally aired on Star Vijay. The Hindi adaptation brings the family-focused storyline to a new audience while retaining its central themes of relationships and generational differences.
