Actor Arun Govil, who played Lord Ram on the hit TV show “Ramayan,” recently revealed that he has never been congratulated with any award or appreciation by any government, be it the Center or the state. In his four-decade career, Arun Govil has become synonymous with his character Ram, who is still remembered and soon became a household name.
In an interaction on Twitter, the veteran actor said that he comes from Uttar Pradesh, but that he never received any award from there or from Maharashtra, where he has spent 50 years of his life.
In the meantime, he also added that he received no commercial movie offers after his role as Lord Ram in “Ramayan.” However, he believes that everything has a positive and a negative side, and therefore added that it would not have been received or celebrated in the same way if he had starred in “Ramayan”.
Arun Govil, 62, debuted in the industry in 1977 with the movie “Paheli”. It was in 1986 when he was offered “Ramayan” and he became an overnight star.
Ramanand Sagar’s “Ramayan” starred Arun Govil as Lord Ram, Dipika Chikhlia Topiwala as Sita, and Sunil Lahri as Lakshman.
“Ramayan” made a historic comeback on the small screen amid the coronavirus pandemic. However, even after 30 years, she was warmly welcomed by the public, and the show had the highest ratings for a Hindi GEC program since 2015.
