The never-told-before life story of Ambedkar with a powerful socio-drama has attracted the attention of Hindi GEC viewers right from the word go, and achievements like these encourage us further to continue entertaining the audience. Young Bhimrao’s character has given me immense love, recognition and fame and it is very close to my heart. I am grateful to our producer, Smruti Shinde, and the &TV Team for the opportunity. It has been a wonderful journey so far, and I am sure it will continue to be.”

Our team's vision is to present Babasaheb's indomitable perseverance, evolved vision and philosophy that continues to resonate with Indians across the country. Ramji, his father, has always stood like a pillar of strength beside his ambitious and visionary son and I am proud to portray such a pivotal character in the show. The 700-episode landmark calls for celebration and motivates us further to give our best.” Narayani Mahesh Varne essaying Ramabai's character, said, "The journey of Ek Mahanayak—Dr B.R.
