Dipika Chikhlia Reflects on Sita as a Strong, Independent Figure in RamayanPreviousNext

Dipika Chikhlia, known for portraying Sita in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan, described Sita as a strong, relevant role model and the "first single mother." She emphasized Sita's quiet strength and her decision to accompany Rama during his 14-year exile, highlighting Sita's agency. Chikhlia also expressed that Sita should have been more vocal in her relationship with Rama, suggesting that more dialogue could have strengthened the character's portrayal in contemporary adaptations.
