Ramanand
Sagar's
mythological
show,
Ramayan
lead
actors,
Dipika
Chikhlia,
Arun
Govil,
and
Sunil
Lahri
have
once
again
gained
popularity,
thanks
to
Doordarshan
for
re-airing
the
show.
The
actors
are
quite
active
on
social
media
and
are
often
seen
sharing
throwback
or
BTS
stories
from
their
careers.
In
the
same
vein,
Dipika
Chikhlia
aka
Sita
recently
went
down
the
memory
lane
and
recalled
her
late
co-star
Shankar
Nag
from
the
movie
Hosa
Jeevana.
The
actress
penned
a
heartfelt
note
for
Nag
and
revealed
that
he
met
with
a
car
accident
and
passed
away
just
after
they
had
wrapped
up
the
last
shoot
schedule
of
their
hit
film.
She
shared
its
popular
song
video
and
wrote,
“Major

As
soon
as
Dipika
posted
the
video
remembering
the
celebrated
actor-filmmaker,
fans
inundated
her
with
comments
for
remembering
the
Kannada
legend.
Shankar
Nag
was
not
only
an
exceptional
actor
but
his
intellect
was
such
that
he
went
on
to
re-define
the
Kannada
film
industry
with
his
creativity.
He
made
his
Sandalwood
debut
in
the
year
1978
with
Ondanondu
Kaladalli,
which
fetched
him
a
national
award.
He
was
also
happily
married
to
actress
Arundathi
Nag.
However,
the
actor's
life
ended
at
the
age
of
36
when
he
met
with
a
brutal
car
accident
on
the
outskirts
of
Davanagere
in
1990.
