Dipika Chikhlia Topiwala who played Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, that also featured the late Arvind Trivedi as Ravan, speaks to mid-day.com about the person behind the actor.

Dipika recalls, “He was a very helpful person, yet very professional. Not professional from the point of view that ‘tum apna kaam karo main apna.’ When I say professional, I mean he was very dedicated when given his lines. He was religious by nature, he would do his Shiv tandav stotram. Later he was also one of the reasons I joined BJP and we were in Lok Sabha together.”
