Amid
the
Coronavirus
lockdown,
all
shoots
of
television
shows
have
been
suspended
and
the
channels
have
been
showing
re-runs
of
the
recently
running
shows
or
classics.
Last
week,
DD
National
began
to
air
their
classic
shows
including
Ramayan
and
Mahabharat.
Yesterday,
a
snapshot
of
Arun
Govil
watching
Ramayan
on
television
with
his
grandchildren
has
gone
viral
on
social
media.
The
pictures
shows
the
veteran
actor,
who
used
to
play
Ram
in
the
popular
series,
sitting
with
his
family
in
the
living
room
enjoying
the
serial
all
over
again
at
home.
The
TV
screen
also
shows
Arun
Govil
in
Ram's
get
up
during
the
scene
when
he
is
getting
married
to
Sita.
He
recently
told
IANS
it
is
important
for
today's
generation
to
watch
the
80's
hit
show.
He
said,
"The
new
generation
will
get
a
chance
to
watch
it.
They
will
get
to
understand
the
morals,
teachings
and
values
of
Ramayan.
If
they
will
watch
it
with
the
family,
they
can
interact
also.
If
they
have
queries
then
their
family
members
of
the
older
generation
can
explain
things.
It
is
a
family
show.
How
relationships
should
be...has
been
shown
in
the
show.
Positivity
is
there.
Right
now
there
is
a
lockdown,
you
can't
go
anywhere.
So
watching
it
will
be
a
good
way
to
use
the
time."
However,
the
show,
along
with
nostalgia,
has
also
lead
to
today's
generation
talking
about
women's
rights
and
how
women
were
represented
in
the
show,
which
was
worshipped
all
over
the
country.
Other

Ramayan
other
Doordarshan
popular
serials
of
the
'80s
like
Byomkesh
Bakshi
and
Circus
have
also

is
having
fun
enjoying
