If the artistes
portraying King Dasharatha and Queen Kaushalya were real time husband wife, we
have the Rajda family of Mulraj and Sameer sharing the Ramayan Television
series as King Janak and Prince Shatrughna. They were the father-son duo.
Mulraj
Rajda was an actor and writer in Gujrati theatre and films. He
wrote the screenplay of Mitti Aur Sona in 1989 and Aaj Ki
Taaza Khabar in 1973. Apart from that he also wrote and directed Gujrati tv
serials. He passed away in 2012. His son, Sameer Rajda is one
of a popular actor in Guajarati films.
King
Janaka was the adopted father of Sita whom he found on the field while
ploughing at the time of terrible famine. Shatrughna was one of the two sons of
Queen Sumitra; Lakshmana was his half-brother. Shatrughna was
married to Shrutakirti and had two sons - Shatrughati and Subahu. With Rama in exile
for 14 years, Prince Bharata also lived a life of a hermit at Nandigramam and
ruled Ayodhya from there. It was Prince Shatrughna who was the solace to three Queen
mothers and took care of the administration of the whole kingdom.
