Om Raut’s latest film Adipurush is currently in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The film based on the Hindu mythological saga Ramayan, which was supposed to touch the hearts of the audience has instead upset them. People have criticized the film for poor VFX, cheap dialogues, lack of research and unconvincing casting. Even the stardom of Bhaahubali actor Prabhas couldn’t save the film from collapsing at the box office. Meanwhile, a video is going viral on the Internet where a woman can be seen religiously worshipping Ramayan actor Arun Govil.
In the video, a middle-aged woman dressed in an orange saree can be seen falling into Arun Govil’s feet and worshipping him as if he’s actually God. Meanwhile, Arun is seen humbly standing with folded hands. A man who accompanied the woman also bowed down to Arun.
This video actually dates back to October 2022 but after Om Raut’s disaster at the box office, it has resurfaced on social media platforms. People are discussing the impact that Arun Govil had on the hearts and minds of people by portraying Maryada Purushottam Ram in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan.

People are overwhelmed to see this video. A user wrote, “I don’t know but tears are coming and continuesly goosebumps ho rahi hai real speechless. JAY SHREE RAM.”
A comment reads, “They’ve got people’s respect because they’ve been more than actors and maintained the responsibility of the roles they played decades ago.”
Another user wrote, “See… this is the power of our sacred Ramayan… Arun govil was perfect for that character… his face.. expressions.. coolness.. mannerism.. wonderful acting… can see … till today people adore him…”
Arun Govil played Lord Ram on Ramanand Sagar’s TV show Ramayan from 1987-88. Deepika Chikhalia played Sita and Sunil Lahri played Lakshman. The show returned to Television after three decades during the first lockdown due to Covid-19 in 2020.
