Question 3: What is your favorite part in the Ramayan?


1) I want to see Ramayan as we know and love it. I don't have a problem with creative license as long as it's kept at a minimum and it's sweet. Even other adaptations of Ramayan have had creative license, but the characters of Ram and Sita were still retained with grace and dignity, and that's what I want to see here.

2) I don't want to see Draupadi in the form of Sita. Don't get me wrong. I love Draupadi individually and I love her character in Mahabharat, but I don't want to see Sita as another Draupadi with a cutting tongue and a fierceness to her character. Both Sita and Draupadi were great in their own ways, and I want Sita's silent resilience and strength of mind to be more prominent. I'm a bit concerned about this "swatantra vichaar" that is shown in the promo, but hopefully in the actually show it's not that bad.

3) I love each and every kanda of Ramayan. There is something beautiful and something to be learned in every chapter. It's hard to choose!

Both got critical acclaims too
And I am sure Ashu will have his share of critical acclaims
And will make his own impression of Ram in viewers mind
Lets not hurt other actors fan
Lets just stick to Siya Ke Ram😃


Agree👏

I feel like comparisons are meaningful because Siye Ke Ram is not the first television adaptation of Ramayan. There have been many adaptations so far and various talented actors have played the role of Lord Ram. Not just Arun Govil, Nitish Bharadwaj (known as Krishna of BRC's Mahabharat) has also played Ram, and also Gurmeet Choudhary, who became popular as Ram first before any other role. After Gurmeet, Gagan Malik played Ram, and there are other actors too, though less known.

Since there are so many actors and actresses who played Ram-Sita in the past, it's meaningless to compare Ashish and Madirakshi to them. How can we compare them anyway? There are too many actors to compare them with. 😆

I would say compare them to Ram and Sita themselves, and see how accurately they play the roles. Direction is one part, but it's also up to the actors to portray that grace and dignity.

1. I want to see the unravelling of the mystery of Sita's birth, how she came to be in a box buried in earth


There are many different stories regarding this, but I will tell you what Valmiki has. In Valmiki, there is no box. Lord Janak performs a yagna because Mithila is suffering from famine for many years, and the sages who performed the yagna tell him to plough the Earth. While he is ploughing it, Goddess Sita appears from the Earth and he finds her in the fields. He adopts her and raises her as his own child.

Hi Shyam. 🤗

1) Ramayan what we know and love but as said in intro a more detailed view of sita's life from other shows. 😃

2) OTT filmi/fictional nonsense.

3) Swayamvar part and War part. 😃

Basically I want the show to stick to its premise and the detailing but I would also like it to go in depth and help us understand the intricacies of the characters, their decisions and more of an insight into them.

Hi Shyam Bhai...

I have been deeply involved with Mahabharat for the past years, and I really want to know about Ramayan. After Draupadi, it is Ma Sita, who is my favourite.

One thing I want to see...is depiction of REAL facts. We both know, how Mahabharat went 😆, so this time, I would want depiction of REAL facts. Creative liberty is fine, as that enhances the story but it should not make the character too dramatic.

Things, I dont want to see:

Overglorification of any character and blackwashing of characters like Ravan and Kaikeyi. I am glad that they have shown Kaikeyi positive so far. I hope they stick to the fact, and show the characters as they were, without any whitewashing and blackwashing.

Over-dramatic scenes...Dont want mantra-jaap at every scene. While I love the mantras, too much of it makes the serial very unrealistic.

As much as I love bold women, I want Ma Sita to be depicted like she was. They dont need to borrow traits from Draupadi such as being progressive, curious, etc to make her more dynamic. Both Ma Sita and Draupadi are great and different...I hope they stay true to her character.


My most favourite scene is Sita's going back to her Mother. It's heart-wrenching, and in a way, it was suicide, but Ma Sita showed the ultimate form of dignity, by refusing to go back to the man, who had once left her alone. As much as I am confused about her succumbing to suicide, her dignity and silent resilience intimidates me.

^^ I wouldn't say Sita going back to Earth was suicide. The word 'suicide' has a very dark, ugly connotation to it, and Sita never ended her life because she no longer wanted to live. Her returning to Goddess Earth was a stand (not against Ram, whom she loved and who loved her equally) against society, to teach them the harm of gossiping and tarnishing the reputation of an innocent person.

Also, Sita never died. When she returned to Goddess Earth, she shed her human form and used paatal lok as a portal to return to Vaikunta. Gods do not commit suicide. Lakshman and Ram too left the world in a similar way, by shedding their bodies in the Sarayu river and returning to Vaikunta.

This is the problem I have with treating these characters as mere humans and forgetting their divine origins. We have to remember that they were divine beings also, and discuss likewise.

Thanks for the clarification...At this point I wouldnt refute your points as I dont have the knowledge of Ramayan that u have. 😊

I hope we will have discussions in this forum from various versions n only after gathering enough knowledge will I be able to decide whether it was suicide or a way to show the society. At this point I am clueless...

As for divinity...well that is subjective. When I started off I believed that all these characters are divine but gradually with discussion I have decided to see the characters from human angle. I am a believer of God but I see all these characters as human only. So anyway...even if Ma Sita died that day...she is immortal in our hearts n that's wat matters. 😊
