When Debina refused to get married on screen without Gurmeet

MUMBAI: Debina and Gurmeet Choudhary gained a lot of fame in their professions by playing the roles of ‘Sita’ and ‘Ram’ respectively in Anand Sagar’s Ramayan. The pair fit well as Lord Ram and Sita in Ramayan's cast and were loved for their chemistry. They tied the knot with each other in real life as well. However, in a rather interesting story, Debina had refused to tie the knot in reel life. This is what happened.

Gurmeet fell sick and got hospitalised with extreme weakness. The illness was so bad that it made it too difficult for Gurmeet to even leave the hospital, let alone shoot the scenes.

It was then decided by the makers that a body double would be used for the scenes where Sita and Ram get married to each other. They decided to use a ‘sehra’ to cover the face of the double and continue with the shoot temporarily, till Gurmeet would return. However, Debina approached Gurmeet in the hospital and told him that she would not ‘tie the knot’ with the double. She told him to show up on the sets for the shoot come what may. Eventually, the actor managed to show up for the shoot despite the illness and did the scenes where Ram and Sita get married.
