Sony SAB’s Shrimad Ramayan tells the epic story of Lord Ram (Sujay Reu) and Sita (Prachi Bansal). In recent episodes, Luv (Shourya Mandoriya) and Kush (Atharva Sharma) prepare for their journey to Ayodhya to participate in the highly anticipated Ashvamedha Yagya and meet their idols Ram and Sita.
On their journey to Ayodhya, Luv and Kush help a blind couple by rescuing their child from demons and, in gratitude, receive Saraswati Maa’s divine veena. As they near Ayodhya, Lord Ram’s chosen horse for the Ashvamedh Yagya ritual escapes and reaches the brothers.
Inspired, Luv and Kush inscribe “Sita Ram” on the horse, marking a powerful moment of faith. When they finally reach Ayodhya, they are barred from entering the palace. To catch everyone’s attention, the brothers sing and narrate the Ramayan with the divine veena. Hanuman (Nirbhay Wadhwa) moved by their celestial performance, shares their story with Lord Ram, revealing the arrival of two remarkable young sages.
Finally, when Luv and Kush meet Lord Ram, they glimpse a golden idol of Sita. They learn the heartbreaking truth of the divine couple’s separation for the first time. Shocked and devastated, they question Lord Ram’s reason for abandoning Sita, challenging the very ideals they revered.
Sujay Reu, who plays the role of Ram in Shrimad Ramayan, said, “This scene holds a deep emotional value for me as Lord Ram. Luv and Kush’s reaction shows that even the greatest ideals are tested by difficult choices. Lord Ram’s separation from Sita was not only painful but necessary to honor his duty as a king, even when it broke his heart as a husband. I hope viewers feel the depth of this struggle and find strength in knowing that true courage often means making sacrifices for a greater good, even when it challenges us deeply.”
