ARUN GOVIL TO WORK IN TWO WEB SERIES AFTER THE LOCKDOWN PERIOD

Jyothi Venkatesh

It was wonderful talking to Arun Govil, who plays the eponymous role of Lord Ram in the epic serial Ramayan which is right now being telecast everyday at 9 am and 9 pm religiously on Doordarshan in order to keep the viewers engaged during the ongoing lockdown period by the government. Arun expressed his happiness at the enormous popularity the serial as well as he himself are getting from all over the country after the retelecast and says that he himself is busy watching the serial every morning as well as evening on Doordarshan.

Arun informed me that he was already in talks with the producers of not just one but two different web series to play a very power packed roles in both of them. When I asked him whether he will be able to pick up even challenging negative roles, he said that as he is saddled even today with a pious ‘Lord and positive image’ of Lord Ram even after 37 years of having acted in the serial Ramayan, he would not be in a position to experiment with negative roles even fi he wishes to.

Not many are aware of the fact that though besides Arun, his wife Lekha also has acted in films and TV serials, including Anil Ganguly’s film with Rajesh Khanna and Rekha three decades ago , his son  as well as daughter are not interested in taking up acting at all. Since Arun prefers to lie low and does not really like to tomtom about himself in the media these days, not many are aware of the fact that he is actually staying in the hi fi filmi locallity of Seven Bungalows in Mumbai and not in Mithila or Ayodhya.
