Ramayan, which first aired on Doordarshan in 1987 and gained instant popularity, made stars out of Arun Govil, Deepika Chikhlia and Sunil Lahri, known to fans as Lord Ram, Sita and Lakshman. Ramayan clocked 33 years of the show this year. The show was brought back on Doordarshan as India went into a lockdown to battle the coronavirus outbreak.
