Ram and Sita are invited

For your information, let us tell you that Sunil Lahiri, who played the role of Laxman in Ramayana, has not been invited to the Ayodhya Ram temple consecration ceremony. On the other hand, Arun Govil and Deepika Chikhalia, who played the roles of Ram and Sita in 'Ramayana', have been specially invited to the event. But when Sunil Lahiri came to know about this, he felt very bad as to why he was not invited.

The organizers may not have felt his character was important

In an interview with ETimes, he said that he had not been invited to the function to be held in Ram Temple. Although he is not disappointed by this. He also said that if someone organizes a function then he or she must invite someone else in every function. But if he too had been invited for this auspicious work, he would have been happy. Sunil says that the organizers must have felt that his character in Ramayana was not important and that is why he was not invited.

Shared his experience

In an old interview given to IANS, Sunil Lahiri, who played the role of Laxman, while sharing his experience, had said, 'When I was shooting Ramayana, I did not have any reference for the character of Laxman and whatever. Also what I have managed to do is because of the guidance of Sagar Saab (Ramanand Sagar). The credit for this goes to him and the writers of the television serial.
