Meanwhile, ‘Ramayan’ has become quite the rage in this lockdown. Talking about the reason behind the show’s smashing success, the actress had told IANS, “I think the word of mouth that people had loved it 30 years ago was the first kick-off. And once they started seeing and watching I think they kind of believed in the magic. I think that is how the circle moved. The series already had a name for itself and I think that the re-telecast rode on the success of original success. That’s how I see it.”
