Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana and BR Chopra's Mahabharata on Doordarshan were two shows that shaped many people's childhoods. This fact was proven again when Prakash Javadekar, the Minister of Information and Broadcasting, announced on Friday that the two shows were going to be re-telecast amidst the 21 day coronavirus lockdown.
After a successful first day re-runs of both the shows, the internet has been flooded with tweets of nostalgia, as well as memes by people.
Take a look at some of the tweets below:
