This blog is to tell Sanjay Sir, wherever he is, that we always remember him, admire him and his work will always be special for us. In the past 24 years since its original airing, we know of at least 8 members part of Ramayan who have sadly, passed away – Ramanand Sagar (the maker himself), Jayshree Gadkar (Mata Kaushalya), Rajnibala (Mata Sumitra), Vijay Arora (Indrajeet / Meghnad), Lalita Pawar (Manthara), Urmila Bhatt (Maharani Sunaina, Sita ji’s mother), Nalin Dave (Kumbhkarn) and now Sanjay Jog (Bharat). It saddens us that an artist we admire so much, who gave us cinematic moments to cherish forever was gone, gone long ago and we were totally unaware, just wondering where he had been all this while. This came to us as a shock since we had not read or heard about it before. In its comments section we got to know that he is no more. We continued our search till one day we came across Senior Journalist Anand Bhisey’s blog “ Bharat Darshan” (Sanjay Jog’s interview taken in 1988). We searched the net, found bits of information about some and sadly almost nothing about some others like the fantastic Sanjay Jog ( संजय ज़ोग). Last year after we re-watched Ramayan for the umpteenth time, we could not help but wonder where most of the artists of our favourite show have been. Everyone is so perfectly cast in their roles that we love each and every artist who was part of it.

Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, the epic series aired between 1987-1989 is our all time favourite.
