YouTube Description
as posted by the channelActor Arun Govil, who is known for playing Lord Ram in popular TV series 'Ramayan', recently opened up on the side effects of the humongous stardom he gained for his work in Ramanand Sagar's show. Govil, while talking to Rajshri Unplugged, revealed that his stardom impacted his work prospects as people stopped giving him mainstream roles. He said, 'The response of Ramayan led to both good and bad things. I got a lot of respect and honour but I was completely distanced from commercial films. All the producers and directors would tell me that my image of Lord Ram had become so strong that they would wonder what role to cast me in for. ‘People see only Lord Ram in you, they don’t see any other character’ is what they said.' Arun Govil further revealed the attempts he made to break away from the image and said, 'For an actor, this is not good. The negative effect of it stayed with me for many years. At that point, I would think, ‘What do I do now?’ I tried after that. Films were totally out of the question for me but TV was growing. There I did some grey shades intentionally, but after watching myself play those parts I realised that this is not made for me, sorry.' The actor was recently seen in Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi starrer 'OMG 2' and garnered praises for his work. For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
