Today i.e. on 22nd January, there is a program of consecration of Ram temple in Ayodhya. Meanwhile, TV shows and films made on Ramayana are also in the headlines. But if anyone is being discussed the most then it is Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana which started on Doordarshan 37 years ago in 1987. This show received immense love from the people. However, while on one hand this serial was liked a lot by the people, on the other hand, when it ended, Ramanand Sagar also had to face controversies.
Last year, when Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, Kriti Sanon starrer film Adipurush was released, that film had to face a lot of controversies. During the same interview, Ramanand Sagar's son Prem Sagar had talked about his father's Ramayana and its controversies. He had told that a total of 78 episodes of the show were telecast, after which it was taken off air. After that, thousands of letters would come to Ramanand Sagar every day from the fans of this show and he was asked to take the story of his show forward. However, he did not want to take the story further, because further he would have to show imaginary things on Luv-Kush.
When I had to go to court
Let us tell you that in view of the demand of the audience, Ramanand Sagar had added Uttarkand in Ramayana, due to which there was a lot of uproar and a case was registered against him and then he had to make rounds of the court. However, there may have been controversy regarding this, but Ramayana created by him has a different place in the hearts of people. It was re-telecasted on TV even during the Corona epidemic and at that time there was a huge craze for it among the people. One of its episodes got 7.7 crore views, due to which its name was also registered in the Guinness Book of World Records.
