Ramayan: Did you know Gurmeet Choudhary wore a crown weighing around 3-4 kilos in the epic saga

Audiences in India are currently glued onto reruns of old iconic shows, one of them being Anand Sagar's Ramayan starring Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina Bonnerjee. Gurmeet had shot to fame due to his portrayal of Lord Ram in the epic mythological show Ramayan currently airing. The show which has a huge fan base is now going on television.
Going down the memory lane about Ramayan’s shooting experience, Gurmeet recollects some challenging moments and highlights, “During the shoot of Ramayan, I had to wear a crown (mukut) weighing around 3-4 kilograms which was specially brought from Chennai.Since our shoots would go on for 12-13 hours daily, I had to wear the crown all the time. This headgear was so heavy that I often suffered head injuries. Eventually, I got used to it. Looking back, I believe hard work eventually paid off."
Earlier while talking about the popularity of the show, Gurmeet had revealed that he bagged his first film because of the show. He had said, "Today, if I am a successful actor it is all because of my first show Ramayan. The show has helped me bag my first Bollywood film, Khamoshiyan. It was Mukesh Bhatt's wife, Nilima Bhatt, who first spotted me on television while I was playing the role of Lord Ram. I am forever grateful to Ramayan for making me who I am today. Had I not played this role, I would have never become an actor."
