We have lost Shri Arvind Trivedi, who was not only an exceptional actor but also was passionate about public service. For generations of Indians, he will be remembered for his work in the Ramayan TV serial. Condolences to the families and admirers of both actors. Om Shanti. pic.twitter.com/cB7VaXuKOJ

Apart from Ramayan, Arvind Trivedi was a part of 300 films. He was also seen in Vikram Aur Betaal.
Did you know he almost rejected Ramayan but Paresh Rawal convinced him?
Twitter
Trivedi's granddaughter had told Mirror online that he was working on a play with Paresh Rawal when he was offered a role in Raavan. "When Ramanand Sagar told him that he will be playing Ravan. Nana earlier rejected it because he was committed to the play. But then, it was Paresh Rawal Ji himself who convinced Nana that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that he should not give it a miss. He convinced and motivated him to take up the role and only then did he agree to do it."
