Ayushmann Khurrana's mother-in-law did NOT play the role of Trijata in Ramayan, Tahira Kashyap clears the air
As India faces a lockdown on account of coronavirus pandemic, the government chose to bring back on air a popular series called Ramayana - produced by Ramanand Sagar - first aired during 1987-1988 on DD National. This television adaptation of the ancient Indian Hindu epic of the same name - primarily based on Valmiki's Ramayan and Tulsidas' Ramcharitmanas - has caught the fancy of the nation once again. Amid the ongoing craze, several rumours suggested that Ayushmann Khurrana mother-in-law Anita Kashyap played the role of Trijata in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan.
Ayushmann Khurrana's wife Tahira Kashyap issued a clarification with regards to the news. She wrote, There's no truth to these reports of my mother, Mrs Anita Kashyap starring in the Ramayan show. All these reports are false. She was an educationist and has no connection with this show, whatsoever."
Ramayan, which was a Sunday morning staple in the Eighties, returned to TV last month. The show that featured Arun Govil as Lord Ram, Dipika Chikhlia as Sita, Sunil Lahri as Lakshman, and other prominent actors, airs on DD National twice a day. The show resonates with today's generation even today.
