Ramayan stars Arun Govil, Sunil Lahiri, Deepika Chikhalia to attend Ram Mandir inauguration

Actors Arun Govil, Sunil Lahiri and Deepika Chikhalia, best known for their parts in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, have been invited for the consecration ceremony of Ram Mandir on January 22. They recently visited Ayodhya to shoot their album Humare Ram Aayenge when they spoke about the upcoming event in Ayodhya.

Arun Govil told ANI, "Ayodhya's Ram temple will prove to be our Rashtra Mandir. The culture that had faded in the last few years across the world, this temple will again send a message that will strengthen our culture. It is a heritage that will be known to the whole world, this temple will be a source of inspiration, it is the centre of our faith, it will be our pride, it will become our identity. Our morals should be adopted by all."

He added, "I had no idea that the consecration of Lord Ram would happen in this way, that it would be such a big event, this is the biggest event of my life. There is so much emotion and energy, the whole country is taking only Ram's name, wherever Lord Ram is present. Those who believe in Ram, there is an atmosphere of happiness there, it was not imagined, hence the feeling of it is very pleasant that we are going to witness such a moment."

Actress Deepika Chikhalia, who played the role of Goddess Sita, said, "Our image has settled in the hearts of the people, even after the construction of Ram temple, I do not think there will be any change in it, Ram Lala's life is being consecrated, people have given a lot of love. The characters of Ramayana will continue to receive similar love."
