Ramyana (1987) was a whole legacy, the original one. Today, a part of that golden chapter has dimmed with the passing of Prem Sagar, son of the legendary Ramanand Sagar. The man who quietly carried forward his father’s torch and kept the flame of Ramayan alive has left us at the age of 84.
A Heartbreaking Goodbye To Prem Sagar
On Sunday, the Sagar family lost one of its strongest pillars. Prem Sagar passed away in Mumbai after doctors admitted him to Breach Candy Hospital. His family and admirers will bid him farewell during the final rites at Pawan Hans cremation ground.
Arjun Govil (Ram) and Sunil Lahiri (Lakshman) share condolences
The grief wasn’t just personal, the entire Ramayan family felt it. Arun Govil, forever etched in our hearts as Lord Ram, took to social media to share a deeply emotional note. He remembered Prem Sagar for carrying forward the values and vision of the original Ramayan, praying for peace for the departed soul.
He shared his grief on X, “The news of the demise of Prem Sagar Ji, the son of the late Shri Ramanand Sagar Ji, who brought the ideals, principles, and teachings of Lord Shri Ram to every individual through electronic media by giving the form of the Ramayana TV serial, is extremely heartbreaking. I pray to Lord Shri Ram that the departed soul be granted a place at His divine feet and that the bereaved family members be bestowed with the strength to endure this profound sorrow. Om Shanti.”

Sunil Lahiri, the unforgettable Lakshman of the 1987 epic, was equally shaken. He called the news “absolutely shocking” and offered his prayers with a heartfelt “Om Shanti.” The loss felt like the breaking of a bond that tied together a historic television era.

A Life Behind the Lens
For those who don’t know, Prem Sagar wasn’t just “the son of Ramanand Sagar.” A proud graduate of FTII Pune’s 1968 batch, he made his own mark in the industry. From still photography to cinematography, he contributed to countless projects under the Sagar Arts banner. Quiet yet impactful, his work ensured that his father’s legacy never felt outdated.
Prem Sagar may have left this world, but his contribution to Indian television and cinema will remain immortal. His passing reminds us once again of the roots that shaped generations and the storytellers who made faith, culture, and epic tales come alive on our screens.
Rest in peace, Prem Sagar ji. Your journey may have ended, but your legacy will continue to shine like the eternal diya of Ramayan.
