Not just Lakshman, neither does Sita touch Ram's feet.This show caters too much to modern sensibilities. In the beginning, Ram and his brothers barely touched their parents' or guru's feet, but after audience complained, they started showing them more respectful. Kids did not simply hug their parents back in that era. They would touch their feet first in respect, and then hug them.A wife would touch her husband's feet, younger kids would touch elder siblings' feet, devars and nanads would touch elder bhabhi's feet, etc.Today, such shows of respect are considered menial and humiliating by so many youngsters, many of whom have no sense of respect towards their elders, thus the show is not showing it.
