Dipika further wrote, "Come be a part of our community and share the knowledge of the Ramayan with generations to come. Tune in to Star Bharat every day at 7 pm to watch Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan."

For the uninformed, last year, 'Ramayan' had a mega-successful rerun on Doordarshan, registering 77 million. Looking at its success, Star Plus then also decided and announced to rerun the show on their channel. 

Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu had also written on his official Twitter account and praised DD National for the re-run and said that it broadcasting popular 80s shows will help acquaint the younger generation with India's "glorious past and rich cultural heritage".

The re-telecast of the TV show had started on Doordarshan National in March 2020, soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of novel coronavirus.
