Does this mean it's the end of Janak's role?

In the tradition renditions of Ramayan, The role of Janak and other characters from Mithila gets over after Ram-Sita's wedding but since Siya ke Ram are showing various folklores as well, does anyone know of any folklore or any version where Janak is mentioned even after the wedding?

Personally I would love to see more of Janak coz I really like both the character and the actor

As per the epic, after the wedding of Ram-Sita, Janak has one more role to play. When Ram, Sita and Lakshman go into vanvaas, and Bharat goes to Chitrakoot to bring them back, Janak also comes there to offer his help and advice, and it is he who brings a compromise between Ram and Bharat. Janak also praises Sita for her ideal behavior in following her husband into exile, and states that she has made Mithila hold its head up high forever.

After that incident, Janak's role is more or less over, but he does come in the end of Ramayan, during Ram's Rajyabhishek. As the elder of the family, he greets Ram, Sita and Lakshman after they return from vanvaas and precedes over the Rajyabhishek.

As for his role in Uttar Kand, Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan (1986) and Anand Sagar's Ramayan (2008) showed Ram going to Mithila after Sita left for vanvaas, and Janak acting as mediator between Ram and Sunaina, who could not forgive Ram for exiling her daughter. Also, Sita's friend (who plays an important role in both shows during Baal Kand) curses Ram that no other princess of Mithila will ever be given in marriage to a prince of Ayodhya, as Ayodhya did not know how to respect women. Janak scolds the friend for her curse and defends Ram, and the friend becomes remorseful but is unable to take back her curse.

It is said that to this day, no woman in Nepal (present day Mithila) is given in marriage to a man from Uttar Pradesh (present day Ayodhya).

I don't know how true this story is, but apparently it's from folklore.

Most of the stories we see in Uttar Kand (including Luv Kush battling their uncles and father for the Ashvamedha yagna horse) are from folklore, because Valmiki has very little on Sita's life at Valmiki's ashram. He only mentions that she was welcomed warmly by the residents there and gave birth to Luv and Kush, and that Shatrughan did their naamkaran while he was passing through the ashram on the way to Mathura, to fight with Lavanasura.

So once SKR reaches the Uttar Kand phase, they have a lot of scope to show whatever they want, as the original epic itself has very little, and previous adaptations too had to resort to folklore to create a story.

As many have said "Janaka" is a loving father and the actor Bijay Anand is playing it superb!
