In a recent Instagram post, actor Vineet Raina reached out to his followers seeking feedback about the latest episode of his show “Shirdi Wale Sai Baba.” The post, which features Raina in character as Sai Baba, shows him with the distinctive appearance of the revered spiritual figure, complete with traditional attire and the iconic headwrap that has become synonymous with Sai Baba’s image.
“कैसा लगा आज का एपिसोड?” (How did you like today’s episode?) Raina asked his followers, encouraging engagement from viewers of the devotional series that airs weekdays on Sony Entertainment Television.
About The Show
“Shirdi Wale Sai Baba” is currently airing Monday through Friday at 7 PM exclusively on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV platforms. The show portrays the life and teachings of Sai Baba of Shirdi, one of India’s most revered spiritual figures, whose messages of peace, devotion, and humanity continue to resonate with millions of followers worldwide.
The series appears to be a significant project for Sony TV, as indicated by multiple promotional posts Raina and the channel shared recently. In one of his earlier posts related to the show, Raina shared a profound quote that aligns with Sai Baba’s teachings: “झूठ नश्वर होता है, लेकिन उसकी नश्वरता तभी सिद्ध हो सकती है जब वह सच से टकराता है।” (Falsehood is transient, but its transience can only be proven when it collides with truth.)
Vineet Raina, who has taken on the challenging role of portraying the spiritual leader, appears deeply invested in the character. The post shows him in full costume and makeup, embodying Sai Baba’s iconic appearance that is instantly recognizable to devotees across the country. The show seems to explore not just the spiritual teachings but also the human connections formed by Sai Baba during his time in Shirdi.
The series began airing on April 21, and has since been regularly broadcast on weekday evenings.
The Spiritual Connection
The role of Sai Baba represents a significant spiritual undertaking for any actor. Sai Baba of Shirdi, who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is revered across religions in India and has millions of devotees worldwide. His teachings emphasized unity of all religions, selfless service, and charity.
As the series continues its run on Sony TV, Raina’s portrayal of this beloved spiritual figure brings Sai Baba’s message to television audiences, while his engagement with fans on social media creates an interactive experience for viewers who follow both the actor and the spiritual journey depicted in the show.
