"It was 6.30 in the morning. This woman saw me at the airport and screamed Ram..."

"I didn¡¯t know what to do at that point, I couldn¡¯t even bend to pick her up," Arun Govil told Hindustan Times. Furthermore, he told the publication that her husband was in the ICU and she wanted to wrap a yellow dupatta around him, but he asked her to make her husband wear it instead.

Exactly 35 years ago, Ramayan aired for the first time in 1987.

It has almost been sixteen years since Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan first aired and even after so many years, the man is still known as Lord Rama by his fans.

While Arun Govil found a special place in the hearts of the audiences by playing the role of Lord Ram, his career came to a standstill once the show got over because the producers didn't want to cast him in any other role.

"For the last 14 years, I have not done anything, except maybe make a few special appearances," he had earlier told IANS.

He added, "I had started my career as a Hindi film hero and post Ramayan, when I wanted to return to Bollywood, producers said, ¡®Your image as Ram is so strong we cannot cast you as anyone else or give you a supporting role."

Arun Govil was disappointed with this. " They felt that I was not suited for commercial movies anymore. That became the biggest minus point of my career, and I realised that I could never return to showbiz the way I wanted to. I took up a few TV shows, but every time I did something, people rejected me saying, ¡®Arre, Ramji kya kar rahe hain (Hey! What is Lord Ram doing here)," he said.
