RIP Arvind Trivedi
Actor Arvind Trivedi, who played the character of Ravana in Ramayana, passes away
Mumbai/UNI/IBNS: Veteran actor Arvind Trivedi, who played the character of Ravana in the popular 1980s serial 'Ramayana', passed away Tuesday.
He was 82.
The actor was not keeping well for the past few months and suffered a heart attack.
His cremation will take place at Dahanukarwadi crematorium, Kandivali West, in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Actor Sunil Lahiri, who played the character of Laxman, shared a photograph with the actor and informed through Instagram that, "It's very sad that Arvind bhai is no more, may his soul rest in peace, he was like a father figure for me."
The actor gained fame through the television serial Ramayan which was broadcasted on Doordarshan in the 1980s and was directed by veteran director Ramanand Sagar.
His popularity through Ramayan led Trivedi to become an MP on a BJP ticket along with co-star Deepika Chikhlia, who played Sita in the same serial, from 1991 to 1996 from Sabarkatha constituency.
Mourning his demise, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, "We have lost Shri Arvind Trivedi, who was not only an exceptional actor but also was passionate about public service. For generations of Indians, he will be remembered for his work in the Ramayan TV serial. Condolences to the families and admirers of both actors. Om Shanti."
