At the event, Ranbir Kapoor thanked Arun Govil for inspiring generations of actors with his performance as Shri Ram. He said, “Aapne yeh zimmedari saalon se itni khubsoorati, sacchayi aur dignity se pesh kiya hai. Aapka yeh safar mere jaise actors, sirf mere hi nahi, us shar insaan jisne Ramanand Sagar ki Ramayana dekhi hai aapne unko bharosa aur Prerna di hai. Jaise aapne Bhagwan Shri Ram ko apne andar utara hai, agar main itna bhi kar pau toh mere liye mehnat safal aur rang layegi. Bachpan se sir Bhagwan Shri Ram ka ashirwad aur unki seekh aur aapka chehra dil mein rakhkar bada hua hu. We love you like you are our own.”
