Ramayana’s Lakshman Aka Sunil Lahri Reacts To Viral Memes; Reveals Which Role He Would Play If Given Another Chance

Due to the coronavirus lockdown, shoots of many shows and upcoming films were postponed indefinitely, whereas production of new episodes was stalled. Much to our delight, Doordarshan decided to rerun old hit television series such as Ramayana, Mahabharata, Shaktimaan, Byomkesh Bakshi and SRK’s Circus to keep the audience entertained while they practice social distancing and stay quarantined at home. Well, netizens were extremely happy to watch childhood favorites once again and soon began showering social media with hilarious memes based on the shows.

Actor Sunil Lahri, who played the role of Lakshman in Ramayana, recently opened up about these viral memes in a chat with Koimoi. He shared, “I have seen many memes that a lot of people have sent. Even my brother’s children in the house send me the memes. I am liking it. I am enjoying it. It’s said that you are popular and that’s why they make these memes. I am honoured. I feel honoured to be a part of the memes.”

When asked which other character would he like to portray if given a chance, he stated, “Lakshman had a lot of shades to perform, as an actor. If you go to see any other character, it didn’t have that kind of performance. Maybe, Raavan but it’s a negative character. I am slightly uncomfortable at the moment because my face doesn’t permit me to play anything negative. I can play that character but I prefer not to. That’s why I prefer playing the same character and now I feel I can perform 10 times better because, at that time, I think I didn’t have experience. I didn’t have an idea of what reaction and action one should do. Now, with experience in the industry for such a long time, I feel, I can perform much better.”
