OG Sita Dipika Chikhlia Gives Her Verdict on Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Teaser — And It’s Heartwarming!

When the person who lived the role of Sita on screen calls your Ramayana teaser “very beautiful,” you know something special is coming. On the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Janmotsav, the makers dropped a 2-minute 38-second teaser of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana — and the internet has not stopped talking since.

Among the many voices buzzing with excitement, one stood out above the rest: Dipika Chikhlia, the original Sita from Ramanand Sagar’s iconic 1987 TV serial Ramayan. Her reaction? Pure admiration.

“I watched the teaser, and it’s very grand. It is looking very rich, they have made it grand. So now I’m awaiting the film, and it’s looking very beautiful, there’s no doubt about it.” — Dipika Chikhlia

Coming from someone who is forever embedded in India’s cultural memory as Goddess Sita, this is no small praise.
