Mythological shows have emerged as the first choice of viewers during the lockdown. Whether DD National's Ramayana or DD Bharti's Mahabharata, the audience loved these soaps. A remake of Ramanand Sagar serial Ramayan is being telecasted on Dangal channel, which is liked by the audience. In the show, Ram was played by Gurmeet Chaudhary. Debina Banerjee was seen in the role of Sita. Gurmeet remains surprised even today by remembering an anecdote related to this Ramayana. Shooting a mythological show is not easy. In these, the artists have to wear heavy costume and jewellery.

Also, for Ram's character, Gurmeet always had to wear a crown on his head, causing injuries to his head several times. Recalling this, Gurmeet says, "During the shooting of Ramayana, I always had to wear a crown, which was 3-4 kg. Since the shoots ran for 12–13 hours a day. So I always had to wear a crown. This crown was so heavy that it often caused head injuries. Gradually it became a habit. Now, when I look back, it seems that hard work was successful.

This remake of Ramayana was broadcast for the first time in 2008. It was technically more advanced than the old serial. It was directed by Anand Sagar, while the production was by Sagar Arts. While Ankit Arora played the character of Laxman, Akhilendra Mishra was in the role of Ravana. This Ramayana was first broadcast on NDTV Imagine. The show went on for about a year and a half. The Ramayana serial, which aired on Doordarshan's DD National, holds the record for the most watched show. Now this serial is being shown on Star Plus.
