Gurmeet Choudhary Remembers How Ramayan Helped Him Bag His Debut Film Khamoshiyan

One of the most popular and adored actors of the Indian television industry, Gurmeet Choudhary began his career in 2004 with a cameo role in Yeh Meri Life Hai. However, he rose to prominence with Ramayan, the 2008 TV series which was directed by Anand Sagar, son of late Ramanand Sagar. Gurmeet portrayed the role of Lord Ram and the audience fell in love with him! Now that the rerun of the show is being telecasted on TV amid the coronavirus lockdown, fans are showering the actor with praises all over social media.

Interestingly, it was his spectacular work in Ramayan that helped Gurmeet bag his debut film in Bollywood. Taking a walk down memory lane, the actor told Spotboye, “Today, if I am a successful actor it is all because of my first show Ramayan. The show has helped me bag my first Bollywood film, Khamoshiyan. It was Mukesh Bhatt's wife, Nilima Bhatt, who first spotted me on television while I was playing the role of Lord Ram. I am forever grateful to Ramayan for making me who I am today. Had I not played this role, I would have never become an actor.”

Gurmeet also shared how grateful he is that the channel is re-telecasting Ramayan in such difficult times. He feels the show propelled him as an actor and helped him gain visibility. Well, fans sure are having a great time watching the much-loved series during home-quarantine!
