The article reflects on the overwhelming popularity of the 1980s iconic television series 'Ramayana', directed by Ramanand Sagar, which broke all records upon its release. The series catapulted its lead actors to fame, but as time passed, the characters and actors slowly faded into obscurity. One of these is Bashir Khan, who played the role of Angad, the son of Bali and Tara, who became a household name through his compelling performance. His portrayal of strength and determination during a memorable scene in Ravana's court still resonates with audiences today.

The revival of 'Ramayana' during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it was re-aired on Doordarshan, brought joy to many fans, including cricket star Virender Sehwag, who recalled how the character of Angad inspired his batting style. The article captures the nostalgia of the series and highlights its cultural impact on Indian television and its viewers. It mentions how characters like Angad, despite their significant roles in classic shows, often find themselves far from the limelight once the series concludes and public interest wanes.

Khan's career also spans other mythological series like 'Mahabharat' and 'Sri Krishna', where he showcased his acting talent. However, it raises questions about the longevity of stardom in the competitive entertainment industry and how quickly fame can fade, leaving actors to navigate life outside the glare of television.
