One of the highlights of the COVID-19 lockdown had been the return of iconic shows like Ramayan and Mahabharat to keep viewers engrossed. Ramayan, in particular, created waves and broke records, while Arun Govil, Deepika Chikhlia, Sunil Lahri, who played Ram, Sita and Lakshman respectively, once again became popular. While Dara Singh, who had played Hanuman, was missed by the fans then, the late wrestler-actor’s son Vindu Dara Singh recently stepped into his massive shoes.

When Ramayan was breaking all records in TRPs at the beginning of the lockdown, Vindu Dara Singh had got emotional over the love being showered on his father. He prayed that there would be a ‘miracle’ as the world seeking a cure for the pandemic.
When times appear to be Hopeless.... then Miracles should still be on your Hope list..
