'Ramayan' breaks another record, becomes the most-watched show on television

The Coronavirus pandemic has brought the world to a standstill and many countries like India continue to fight the virus to avoid entering the community transmission stage. To do the same, the Government of India also announced a nation-wide lockdown in the country and is leaving no stone unturned to keep the citizens engaged during the lockdown period. One of the measures includes re-run of shows like Ramayan that ‘acted as magnets’ earlier. However, it seems like the re-run of Ramayana is weaving magic on the audience once again, as the show has officially become one of the most-watched television shows in the past few weeks.
