Summary
- Sunil Lahri wished Dipika Chikhlia a happy birthday on April 29.
- They previously starred together in Vikram Aur Betaal before Ramayan.
- Ramayan's 1987 airing brought streets to a standstill.
Actor Sunil Lahri, widely recognized for his role as Lakshman in the classic television series 'Ramayan,' extended birthday wishes to his on-screen sister-in-law, Dipika Chikhlia, on April 29. Chikhlia portrayed Sita in the show.
Lahri shared a heartfelt message on social media, affectionately calling Chikhlia his "bhabhi." He highlighted their enduring connection, which began even before 'Ramayan' during their work on 'Vikram Aur Betaal.' Lahri mentioned praying for Chikhlia's happiness and longevity during a visit to Akshaya Vat in Prayagraj.
The cast of 'Ramayan,' including Arun Govil as Ram, Lahri as Lakshman, Arvind Trivedi as Ravan, Dara Singh as Hanuman, and Chikhlia as Sita, achieved immense popularity following the show's premiere in 1987. The series aired for a year on Doordarshan, becoming a cultural phenomenon.
During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, 'Ramayan' was re-telecast on Doordarshan, captivating audiences once again for over two months. The show's original broadcast in the late 1980s was so impactful that it would halt daily life every Sunday.
