Mumbai, July 19
Actress Sargun Mehta has expressed her overwhelming emotions over her husband Ravie Dubey's journey as Lakshman in the upcoming epic "Ramayana."
The actress shared a heartfelt note, saying she was filled with pride, gratitude, and happiness while witnessing his dedication and hard work for the much-awaited project. Recently, Sargun took to her Instagram handle to share glimpses of Ravi Dubey from the grand trailer launch event of the film held in Delhi. She posted a series of pictures and videos from the special occasion and celebrated her husband's journey as part of the much-awaited epic.
Sharing her emotions, Sargun wrote, "My heart is so full I can't type till I stop crying and I can't currently stop crying. Cannot wait for the world to witness the trailer on 24th July 2026. Thank you to the man who put us here. who showed faith in us. Hamaare pyaare @castingchhabra. Indebted to you forever Jai Shree Ram. just with every breath I want to thank god for being so kind. "Yeh iskey Tapp ka fal hai. Ravi."
At the trailer launch event, Ravie Dubey became emotional while talking about his experience of portraying Lakshman in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. The actor described the opportunity as a divine blessing and expressed his gratitude for being chosen to play such an important character. During his speech, he shared his respect and affection for his co-stars, referring to Ranbir Kapoor as "bhaiya" and addressing Sai Pallavi as "Mata Sita."
Ravie was quoted as saying, "Shri Ram chunte hain, aur jab Shri Ram chunte hain, to bhaav bhi wahi dete hain, sadhan bhi wahi dete hain, sansaadan bhi wahi dete hain, himmat bhi wahi dete hain (Shri Ram chooses, and when He chooses, he also provides the sentiment, the means, the resources, and the courage to play the character)."
"Shri Ram chose Nitesh ji and my brother Ranbir, who is portraying the character of Shri Ram. He chose Sai for the role of Mata Sita. Naa jane, yeh kaise ho gaya ki, itne bade naamon mein, itne bade manch pe main yahan khadha hoon. Yeh shayad mere mata pita ke ache karam hai jo ki, mera mahasaubhagya ban gaye aur, yahan Ram katha mein, mein aaj Shri Lakshmi ka patr nibha raha hoon. ("I don't know how this happened - how I have found myself standing here among such great names, on such a grand platform. Perhaps it is the result of the good deeds of my parents that have turned into my greatest blessing. Today, in this divine story of Ram, I have the immense privilege of portraying the role of Shri Lakshman.")
Ravi Dubey will be seen portraying the role of Lakshman in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious adaptation of "Ramayana," which stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana.

Honestly, I'm really happy for both of them. Ravie has grown so much as an actor. But I hope the makers stay true to Valmiki Ramayana and don't add unnecessary commercial elements. The last thing we need is another masala version. Let's keep it respectful, please.
This is beautiful! The way Ravie spoke about Lord Ram choosing him reminds me of my own faith journey. It's amazing to see actors bring such devotion to their roles. Can't wait for the trailer! July 24th is marked on my calendar.
Mujhe toh doubt hai ki yeh film kitna accurate hoga. Nitesh Tiwari ne Dangal aur Chhichhore achi films banayi hain, par Ramayana toh different ball game hai. Ravie ka emotion genuine lag raha hai. Bas dekhna hai ki screenplay mein kya changes karte hain. Ummeed hai ki mythology ko distort nahi karenge.
Sargun's reaction is so genuine! You can see how much this means to them as a couple. I've always loved how Indian cinema honors these epics. That said, I really hope the VFX and direction do justice to the grandeur of the story. Also, Yash as Ravana is an inspired choice!
Yeh sab theek hai, lekin ek sawaal hai: kya humein aur Ramayana chahiye? Pichle
