Veteran actor Dalip Tahil of ‘Buniyaad’ fame will be seen in the role of Dashrath in Star Plus new show ‘Siya Ke Ram’ – a show on the Ramayana told from Sita’s perspective.
The show highlights the importance of women and their perspective in the society.
Speaking about the concept of the show, Dalip shared, “Over the years, the culture has become such, that people take advantage of them, suppress women, dominate them... This show will highlight that ugly perceptions (about women) have been made up over the years. (This show will stress that) the matriarchal presence itself which is of great significance:.
Highlighting the misinterpretation of people about Sita, Dalip averred, “"Sita was a thinking woman, she was a strong woman. It has been long overdue that Sita is viewed from a (certain) point of view. When 'Ramayana' was written, the texts showed that the women were liberated in their thinking. I don't mean that they didn't have the femininity... they were very secure of their femininity. But over the time, that information and that fact has become adulterated”.
"As of today, women are treated at a lower level in every way. Today, the whole concept and perception has changed. It is so blinkered, so prejudiced."
