Renu Dhariwal became Shuparnakha
Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan is still considered a favorite of the fans. If not on Doordarshan, people like to watch it on YouTube. Like this show, its cast has also been cult and there is an interesting story behind the selection of each character. Renu Dhariwal, in an interview given to Indian Express a few years ago, told the inside story behind becoming Shurpanakha of Ramayana. I have been a theatre artist. When I came to know that Ramanand Sagar is making Ramayana, I went to his office for an audition. I did not know then that at the age of 22, I would get the role of Shurpanakha. They told me that the rest of the cast has been finalised and only the role of Ravana's sister is left.
I agreed to it and he asked me to laugh loudly, my laughter is not good, as soon as I laughed and Ramanand Sagar saw me laughing like this, he decided to make me Shurpanakha. I was also paid 30 thousand rupees for this role, which was very high according to that time.
Where is Shurpanakha of Ramayana now?
If we look at the current situation of Ramayan's Shurpanakha i.e. Renu Dhariwal, she currently lives with her husband and son in a society in Andheri, Mumbai. After doing the Ramayan serial, she gained a lot of popularity, but still she did not continue her career in acting for a long time. Currently, she is active in the field of politics and works as a worker in the Congress party.
