According to Mukesh Khanna, Ramayan is an emotional subject while Mahabharat is all about the tempo. Thoigh he used to complain about the show's pace, he has now realised his mistake and knows that Ramanand Sagar took a lot of pain in showing the details. He portrayed entire rituals on the show and that is the reason why people performed puja before the show went on-air, said Mukhesh. People used to walk to another village to watch Mahabharat, he added.
