Ramayan
Actors
Were
Approached
To
Do
Sensuous
Photoshoot
Arun
was
quoted
by
IANS
as
saying,
"While
we
were
shooting
for
Ramayan,
a
lot
of
renowned
magazines
approached
me
and
the
other
cast
members
to
do
sensuous
photoshoots
for
them.
They
were
so
desperate
that
they
were
ready
to
pay
hefty
amounts
of
money
for
it.
But
none
of
us
accepted
their
offers
and
we
believed
that
our
audiences'
look
up
to
and
rest
their
faith
in
us.
We
could
never
take
the
chance
of
breaking
their
trust
for
money."

Shares
Funny
Anecdotes
Arun
and
other
actors
will
also
be
seen
sharing
funny
anecdotes
from
the
1987
show.
In
the
promo
shared
by
Sony
TV,
Kapil
was
seen
jokingly
asking
the
cast
if
they
ever
felt
itchy
wearing
the
heavily
embellished
costumes
during
outdoor
shoots.
To
this,
Arun
said,
"Yahin
karna
padta
tha
aur
baad
mein
toh
unhe
pehnne
ki
bhi
zaroorat
nahin
padti
thi,
unko
dekhte
hi
khujli
hone
lagti
thi
(That's
what
we
had
to
do.
After
some
time,
we
didn't
need
to
wear
them;
by
just
looking
at
them
we
felt
itchy)."

Asks...
Kapil
also
asked
as
to
how
it
felt
as
they
were
treated
like
real
Gods.
He
asked,
"Jab
kabhi
ye
log
bahar
jaate
the,
log
inki
aarti
karna
shuru
kardete
the,
toh
kabhi
dimaag
mein
toh
aata
hoga
ki
apunich
hi
bhagwaan
hai
(referring
to
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui's
Sacred
Games
dialogue)."

Presenting

Sharma,
Prem
Sagar
shared
how
on
January
25,
1987,
with
the
telecast
of
the
very
first
episode
of
Ramayan,
Indian
television
changed
for
all
time
to
come.
In
a
matter
of
weeks,
the
series
became
a
national
obsession
and
more
than
three
decades
later,
there
is
nothing
to
match
it.
