Sony LIV to Stream Today Episodes Of Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan
Sony Entertainment Television is all set to unveil its much-anticipated historical drama, Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan — a captivating journey inspiring the rise of a young prince who grew to become one of India’s youngest bravest warrior kings who fought through the toughest invaders. Set against the backdrop of royal legacies and timeless values, the show brings to life the early years of Prithviraj Chauhan, exploring his character, courage, and leadership. At the heart of this lies the emotional journey of a father and son — a dynamic that forms the soul of this epic saga.
Stepping into the role of King Someshwar, Prithviraj Chauhan’s father, is veteran actor Ronit Roy, who brings a quiet strength and emotional depth to the character. King Someshwar is a ruler of immense wisdom, dignity, and strength. But as a father, he’s protective and proud. Ronit’s portrayal adds soul to the show, making the king not just a figure of authority, but a deeply relatable parent.
Reflecting on his role, Ronit Roy shares, “Playing the role of King Someshwar wasn’t very different from being a father in real life. He’s not just a king — he’s a father who wants the best for his son. As a father myself, I didn’t have to imagine those emotions, I simply felt them. The pride, the worry, the hope all came naturally. While the setting may be historical, the father-son bond is timeless. Every father sees a bit of himself in his child’s strength, and I tried to bring that heartfelt connection to the screen. I hope viewers feel the same depth of emotion I did while portraying this role. Through this role, I was able to connect not just with the history, but with something deeply human,”
