Ramayan took the best opening TRPs in close to five years when it premiered on TV on March 28. The iconic show from the ‘80s and ‘90s is gripping viewers since then, and is the most-watched serial on TV at the moment, miles ahead of the rest of the shows, as per latest TRP reports from BARC. Now, another Ramayan show is set to keep viewers hooked amid the COVID-19 lockdown.

Ramayan, also backed by Sagar Arts like the original, had aired in 2008-09 on Imagine TV.  The interesting bit is that Gurmeet and Debina, who both shot to fame with the role of Ram and Sita at that time, also got married in real life. However, it was not on the sets that love had blossomed between the two as they reportedly had a ‘secret wedding’ two years before they had played the iconic roles.

Ramayan will now air on Dangal TV at 7.30 pm everyday.
