My Take
Ramanand Sagar is, to me, one of the true giants of Indian television. Born in Lahore and shaped by a turbulent history, he won the 1969 Filmfare Award for Best Director, but his lasting legacy is bringing Ramayan and Shri Krishna to the small screen and shattering viewership records around the world. That's more than entertainment; he put faith and shared cultural memory directly into living rooms. He passed away in 2005, yet his epics still anchor a generation's sense of myth. I have deep respect for the patience and vision it took to deliver work on that scale.
