On public demand, Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan returned to television to entertain the viewers amid the nationwide lockdown. The actors - Arun Govil (Ram), Deepika Chikhalia (Sita), Sunil Lahri (Laxman) and Arvind Trivedi (Raavan) became household names with the show. Recently, it was revealed that the mythological show's re-run garnered a record viewership. The show has also been trending on social media, especially for Laxman's savage responses. Recently, Deepika Chikhalia spoke about the show and revealed whom she wants to see from Bollywood as the new age Sita, Ram, Laxman and Raavan.
About
the
show,
Deepika
told
BollywoodLife,
"Ramayan
is
a
show
for
the
soul.
I
feel
millennials
will
have
a
different
opinion
after
watching
the
first
few
episodes." When
asked
as
to
whom
would
she
see
from
Bollywood
as
the
new
age
Sita
and
Ram,
she
named
Alia
Bhatt
and
Hrithik
Roshan.
Any
guess
whom
she
chose
for
Raavan?
The actress said, "As per the Ramayan, there are many versions of it, Sita was not a tall lady. Her head would reach exactly till Lord Rama's chest. So, maybe someone like Alia Bhatt. I feel Hrithik Roshan would make for a good Lord Rama and Ajay Devgn will be excellent as Raavan. As far as Lakshman goes, I feel Varun Dhawan might be a good option."
For the uninitiated, Ramanand Sagar directed the TV series, which was aired during 1987 on DD National. The show at that time had 82 percent viewership, which was high for any Indian television show. It was telecast in 55 countries and at a total viewership of 650 million. It entered Limca Book of Records as the most watched mythological series.
