Arun Govil reveals whether he will quit acting for politics, talks about his leaked pictures from Ramayana set | Hindi Movie News

Arun Govil, who is known for portraying Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar‘s iconic TV serial Ramayan, has embarked on a new journey in politics. Amidst his political engagements, the 66-year-old actor will be seen playing the role of King Dashrath in Nitesh Tiwari‘s Ramayana starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram. While Govil is excited for his political career, he has remained undecided about quitting acting entirely.
In his recent interview with Hindustan Times, Govil expressed his enthusiasm for this new chapter in his life and said, “This is a fresh inning of my career away from the acting world. And I am really excited about it. I am looking forward to witnessing how it takes a turn.”
He shared that his transition into politics has been smooth so far. He said that he has been actively involved in rallies and public engagements, adding that the motivation behind his political journey is rooted in public welfare. “I have been doing it spiritually and culturally through Ramayan. But it was not one to one, which I will get to do now,” he said while mentioning that he was previously offered a political ticket but he had no intention of doing it then.

Recently, several pictures of Govil, dressed as Dashrath on Ramayana sets had leaked online. However, Govil admitted that he has not had the chance to view these images due to his busy schedule. “I can’t say anything about it at this moment. Several portions are left, and I will shoot for them soon,” he added.

Regarding his future in acting, Govil remained open-ended, stating that his decision would depend on how his political journey unfolds. He affirmed his commitment to fulfill prior acting commitments and complete ongoing projects before making any definitive choices about his career trajectory.
