Ramayana to air on DD

The Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Prakash Javdekar, took to Twitter on Friday and announced that Doordarshan will re-telecast the popular television show, Ramayana.

He tweeted, “Happy to announce that on public demand, we are starting re-telecast of Ramayana from tomorrow, Saturday, March 28 in DD National, one episode in 9 am to 10 am, another in 9 pm to 10 pm.”

The Ramanand Sagar television show was first telecast in 1987. Over the years, the television show has seen many reruns on television.

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, many television channels are going back to older content and are broadcasting once-popular TV shows.

Meanwhile, the cast of Ramayana was recently seen on The Kapil Sharma Show. The three lead actors, Arun Govil, Deepika Chikhalia and Sunil Lahri, who played Ram, Sita and Lakshman, respectively, spoke about the good old days on the comedy show.
