Sunil Lehri, the actor who portrayed Lakshman in Ramanand Sagar’s legendary television series Ramayan (1987), became a household name across India for his
powerful performance and expressive dialogue delivery. Born on January 9, 1961, in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, Sunil initially pursued a degree in science but was drawn to acting and eventually moved to Mumbai to follow his passion. His portrayal of Lakshman — the devoted younger brother of Lord Ram — was widely appreciated for its intensity, emotional depth, and unwavering loyalty. Sunil Lehri’s chemistry with Arun Govil (as Ram) and Deepika Chikhalia (as Sita) became iconic, and his dialogues, especially those delivered with firmness and righteousness, still resonate with audiences decades later. After Ramayan, he appeared in a few other TV serials and films, including The Naxalites and Phir Aayi Barsaat, but none could match the impact of his role as Lakshman. In recent years, he has gained renewed popularity through interviews and social media, where he shares behind-the-scenes stories and memories from the making of Ramayan. Sunil Lehri remains a respected figure in Indian television history, remembered fondly for embodying the ideal of brotherhood, duty, and dharma through his timeless portrayal of Lakshman.
