As Ramanand Sagar’s popular Hindi TV show Ramayan returned to television on Monday, veteran actor Arun Govil, who played the character of Lord Ram in the TV show, went down memory lane and shared how he became a part of it.
Govil said, “From 1977, I started acting with Rajshri Pictures and with Sagar saheb. I also worked in Anand Sagar’s directorial Baadal, and did Vikram Aur Betaal, and only then I came to know that Sagar saheb is making Ramayan, so I approached him, as I wanted to play the character of Lord Ram. However, working in mythology was not a very standard thing at that time, and I was doing a lot of commercial films. My friends and family also did not want me to take up that role,” he said.
