Actor Gurmeet Choudhary, who shot to fame for playing the role of Lord Ram in ‘Ramayan’, has revealed that the role he played has a connection with his personal life. In a recent interview, he revealed how his character and his personal life share an underlying connection and how it has shaped his connection with Ram Mandir.
Gurmeet Choudhary played the role of Ram in Ramayan in 2008 when he was just 24 years old. Reacting to the preparations in place for the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, the actor revealed how he is fascinated seeing the posters of Lord Rama everywhere. Hindustan Times quoted the actor saying, “I go for physical training at 4.30 am daily. On the way, I see so many posters of Ram ji. I think this is the kind of celebration that must have happened when he returned to Ayodhya back in the day. Aisi hi vibe rahi hogi. Jab main ghar se nikalta hoon aaj kal, log good morning ki jagah Ram Ram bolte hain.”

The actor also revealed that he had visited the construction of Ram Mandir as well. He mentioned that he had made a donation two years ago, but he would not like to reveal the amount. He said, “Iss baare mein naa baat karein toh achcha hai. Some things should not be talked about as a lot of belief is attached. I feel lucky that I got to do that and also play Ram in the show when I was just 24.”
He revealed that his father’s name is Sitaram and the village he was born in is Jairampur. He also mentioned that Debina Bonnerjee’s mother is named Shabri. With these connections in his life, he revealed that he plans to visit the Ram Mandir with his wife soon.
