Actor Arun Govil as Lord Rama
Arun Govil has worked in everything from TV shows to movies. But Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana, released 33 years ago in 1987, gave him such recognition that even today people worship Arun Govil as Lord Ram. By playing the character of Lord Ram, Arun Govil made his special place in people’s hearts and even today his place is still intact. The actor had presented the character of Lord Ram to the audience with great simplicity.
When Ramayana was telecasted, Arun Govil started to be seen as the image of Lord Ram in every household. The situation meant that people touched his feet wherever the actor was seen. However, very few people know that Arun Govil made his name by playing the role of Lord Ram, for which he was initially rejected. According to a report, when Arun Govil auditioned for the role of Ram in Ramayana, the makers rejected him.
Arun Govil was rejected for the role of Lord Ram because he used to smoke. Ramanand Sagar did not like his actions at all. He believed that such a person could not become Lord Ram. However, he got this role on the advice of Sooraj Barjatya.
