Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan is all set to return to the small screen again this year, revealed Dipika Chikhlia, who played the role of Sita in the golden oldie. 

Last year, Ramayan made a comeback on DD National after 33 years on public demand amid the nationwide lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was first telecast on Doordarshan in 1987-1988.

Announcing the news of re-telecast of Ramayan on social media on Thursday, Dipika Chikhlia wrote: "So excited to share that Ramayan will be airing on the small screens again this year! Ramayan aired during the lockdown last year, and looks like history is repeating itself. The show has been a huge part of not just my life, but thousands of Indian families for years. Come be a part of our community and share the knowledge of the Ramayan with generations to come."

Ramayan featured Arun Govil, Dipika Chikhlia and Sunil Lahri playing the roles of Lord Ram, Sita and Lakshman, respectively. This year, the 1987 classic will air on Star Bharat every day at 7pm.

Once Ramayan was re-telecast on Doordarshan, Arun Govil, Dipika Chikhlia and Sunil Lahri were brought back into the limelight. 

Ramayan was written, produced and directed by Ramanand Sagar.
