Arun Govil, who played Lord Ram in the Ramayana has joined BJP.
Who's ready for some good old Ram Bhajans on mainstream media yay!
Although I do think its a really brainy idea. Like when I think of Lord Ram, even the idol in my head has Arun Govil's face. https://t.co/BWXoA6dhoN

Speaking at his first press conference, Govil asserted that there was absolutely nothing wrong in saying "Jai Shri Ram", a phrase which is often heard at BJP rallies.
"West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's irritation with Jai Shri Ram was a trigger point for me to join the BJP. And there is nothing wrong in saying Jai Shri Ram...it is not a slogan, not even a political slogan. It is a way of life for us, it represents our culture and ethos," he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
Ramayan was a big break for Arun Govil but he was already established in the industry with his debut film Paheli which was released in 1977. The film was produced by the house of Barjatyas of Rajshri Productions.
After Ramayan, Arun Govil continued to work in the television industry and was also part of other shows like Luv Kush. He also played Harishchandra in the TV series Vishwamitra and Buddha in a serial of the same name.
Ever since the news of Arun Govil joining the BJP came out, people started flooding Twitter with comments. Both hilarious and serious ones, particularly about the timing of this rather interesting development.
