Ramayan’s Sita Asks People Not To Cross ‘Laxman Rekha’

Actress Dipika Chikhlia, who is known for playing the role of Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan has a message for every India after PM Modi announced lockdown till May 3. In the video, she talked about the need of lockdown extension and appreciated PM Modi’s move. She also urged people to stay home and not cross the ‘Laxman Rekha’ that is the threshold of their respective homes. Dipika is currently in news as Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan is being telecasted on DD National during lockdown period. In an earlier interview, when she was asked whether she was excited about the re-run of the show, she had said, “I won’t say I am very excited about it because I am not sure how it will feel to see myself again on TV. I was younger and prettier, so I guess it should be a nice feeling. Ramayan is from simpler times. I don’t know how much of it people will understand or if they will have the patience for it. Of course, there is a section of the audience which lives by Ramayan. But then there is another section of people who don’t even care to read books anymore. They are just watching things on the internet and googling in this fast-paced world. I am not sure how many people will watch it and imbibe the values of Ramayan. In a way, I am happy that the government has given people a chance to watch it if they want. It is like taking the horse to the water, but it is really up to you to the horse to drink it.”
