Life OK's much admired show Devon Ke Dev. Mahadev, which has taken the nation by a storm, garnering oodles of popularity as one of the finest mythological show on the contemporary Indian television seems to have condensed the much talked about Ramayan track in the show.

As a matter of fact, Devon Ke Dev. Mahadev is a legendary tale which portrays the lives of Shiva (Mohit Raina) and Parvati (Pooja Bose) and the most famous events associated to Lord Shiva.

However, in order to add more essence to the show and make the audience aware about our epic mythology, the makers incorporated a Ramayan sequence amidst the show, whereby Shiva played a pivotal role in the lives of Lord Ram (Piyush Sachdev) and Sita (Rubina Dilaik).

Says our source, "Even after an unblemished cast of Ramayan's track in the show, it failed to shape up and all their efforts to shoot the TRP scores with this new experiment were futile. Consequently, in order to prevent loss of viewership, the makers have neatly reallocated their focus on the other devas and its storyline."

When contacted actress Rubina Dilaik, who plays Sita in Devon Ke Dev. Mahadev, she too maintained the similar line and further added, "The entire concept of introducing the undiscussed tale of Ramayan in the show did not turn out to be as promising as it was planned. Therefore, the story of Mahadev has moved ahead, despite the fact that the Ramayan sequence has not yet featured its desirable conclusion."

On being quizzed whether the audience will get to see the story of Ramayan in the near future, Rubina maintains, "Well, we are not shooting for it at the moment. Yet, I think the audience will probably get to see us back near the festival of Dussehra and that is when the track will come to a favorable conclusion."

We wonder if the makers have already given an abrupt end to the Ramayan track in the show.
