Today, we are going to tell you about the actor who played the role of Sugriva in the TV’s Ramayana. Where is he now?

From time to time, mythological shows and films have been produced in the entertainment world. But the Ramayana made by Ramanand Sagar on Doordarshan in the 80s still lives in the hearts of fans. There is a lot of discussion about the cast of this Ramayana. Especially many actors like actor Arun Govil, who plays the role of Lord Ram, and Arvind Trivedi, who appears in the role of Ravana, remain a part of it.

Today, we are going to tell you about the actor who played the role of Sugriva in the TV’s Ramayana. The cast of Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana was very special in itself. Every character of this is an example in today’s era. All the actors did justice to their roles with great simplicity. But actor Shyam Sundar Kalani, who appeared in the role of monkey king Sugriva, was something else.

Shyam said goodbye to this world on 29 March 2020 during the lockdown. Actor Arun Govil gave information about this through a social media post. The character of Sugriva was very important in Ramayana and Shyam Sundar immortalised him with his powerful acting.

Before his death, Shyam lived in the current house boarding colony in Kalka, Panchkula, Haryana. His acting career was quite brilliant. Apart from Ramayana, Shyam Sundar Kalani also worked in many films. However, with time, he went away from the limelight.

In an interview given to Lehro Retro, Ramanand Sagar’s son, Prem Sagar had informed that finding the role of Sugriva had become a big challenge for the makers. Once the shooting of Ramayana was going on late at night in the forest near Umargaon in Gujarat, a tall and broad man came there and fell at my father’s feet and said that I am your Sugriva, please give me this role. In this way, Shyam Sundar Kalani became a part of Ramayana.
