No character certificate needed for Lord Ram: Arun Govil

No character certificate needed for Lord Ram: Arun Govil

    The recent controversy that sparked off following lawyer Ram Jethmalani’s comment on Lord Ram may have died down (His comment: Ram was a bad husband. I don’t like him at all. Just because some fisherman said something, he sent that poor woman (Sita) to vanvaas). But actor Arun Govil — original on-screen Lord Ram — still feels strongly about it. The actor spoke to Bombay Times and said that the comment was in bad taste.
    Says Arun, “Making positive comments is out of fashion now. Lord Ram wasn’t a normal human being, so he can’t be compared with anyone. Also, being a king, the interest of his subjects was above his own family. He abandoned his wife to avoid any confusion and misconception among his subjects.” He adds, “We don’t need a character certificate for Lord Ram from Jethmalani. It wouldn’t have made any difference if he had not made such a comment.”
