However, even decades later, the legendary show's appeal hasn't lost any of its charm. It has once again been demonstrated by a viral internet video. In the video, it is seen that Arun Govil, who played Lord Ram in the TV series, was recently spotted at the airport with a woman holding his feet and showing him reverence.

The TV series Ramayan, written, produced and directed by Ramanand Sagar, first aired on Doordarshan in 1987 and acquired a cult status over the years.

In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown, the show was aired again after 33 years, and set a world record by becoming the most viewed entertainment programme globally. The re-telecast of the TV show started on Doordarshan National soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. DD National said on April 16, 2020, 7.7 crore people across the globe watched the show.

Ramayan featured several well-known stars. In the show, Dara Singh played Hanuman, Arvind Trivedi played Ravana, Lalita Pawar was cast as Manthara, and Vijay Arora played Indrajit.
