A Star-Studded Celebration of Good Over Evil
Renowned Bollywood actor Bobby Deol is all set to take center stage at Delhi’s iconic Red Fort on October 2, where he will perform the symbolic Raavan Dahan as part of the grand Dussehra celebrations hosted by the Luv Kush Ramlila Committee.
Honoring a Timeless Tradition
The Raavan Dahan ceremony marks the triumph of good over evil, a central theme in the epic tale of the Ramayana. The ritual involves the burning of a towering effigy of Raavan and draws thousands of spectators every year. This year, with Bobby Deol’s presence, the event promises to be more memorable than ever.
Bobby Deol’s Special Appearance
Celebrating 30 illustrious years in Indian cinema, Bobby Deol has graciously accepted the committee’s invitation to participate in this year’s ceremony. His involvement is expected to add star power and emotional resonance to the deeply spiritual and cultural event. Recently seen in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, Deol continues to capture the audience’s attention both on and off screen.
A Crowd-Puller for the Capital
Held annually on the sprawling grounds of the Red Fort, the Luv Kush Ramlila draws lakhs of visitors from across the country. This year, organisers anticipate an even larger turnout, with Deol’s name attached to the highlight event of the evening. The sheer scale of the festivities underscores the deep cultural significance and community spirit embedded in Dussehra.
A Collaboration to Remember
Arjun Kumar, President of the Luv Kush Ramlila Committee, personally extended the invitation to Deol. The committee expressed its enthusiasm over this special collaboration, noting that the actor’s presence would not only elevate the event’s profile but also deepen public engagement, particularly among younger audiences.
Bobby Deol’s Statement
According to an official release by the Luv Kush Ramlila Committee, Deol shared his joy in being part of a tradition so steeped in history and morality. He stated that he was “delighted to be associated with this iconic celebration of the victory of good over evil,” and looked forward to participating in the revered ceremony.
Keeping the Legacy Alive
The Raavan Dahan ceremony remains a timeless act that resonates with spiritual and cultural themes. Last year’s event featured the team of Singham Again, including director Rohit Shetty and actor Ajay Devgn, who also took part in the effigy-burning ceremony, continuing a trend of Bollywood’s participation in national festivities.
