The rerun of Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan has changed the fortune of the public sector broadcaster, Doordarshan. Creating history, the cult mythological show has emerged as the most viewed show in the world, beating the likes of The Big Bang Theory and Game Of Thrones by a wide margin.

The entire team of Ramayan is ecstatic to know about the great feat that the show has achieved during its rerun. And when Arun Govil, who played the iconic character of Ram on Ramayan, was asked how does it feel to see the show smashing previous records and setting new records of viewership, the actor said that he is very happy for all the people associated with it.

"Ramayan has performed so well and it has become the best in the world as far as the TRPs and the popularity are concerned and you feel good, so am I, and I am very happy for all the people associated with it. Because such a nice thing has happened and such a huge thing has happened, I am happy because of everything, given it is supposed to be the best show across the world at the moment,” said Govil.

Actress Deepika Chikhlia, known for playing Sita with aplomb, also went on to echo similar thoughts. She said, “I am myself a fan of GoT and to see my work getting more viewership than that is just surreal. I feel it is the millennials who have been watching. In fact, when it started, I was very clear that the ones in my generation have seen it and have enjoyed the magic of the process of the show."

It's about his and Anushka Sharma's decision to move to London. The couple, who welcomed their second child Akaay last year, have been spotted frequently in the UK, sparking rumours of a permanent shift. Now, those close to them have confirmed the move, citing their desire for a quieter, more private life for their children.
