Chandrakant Pandya as Nishadraj in the Iconic Ramayan TV Series
Chandrakant Pandya is best remembered for his portrayal of Nishadraj Guh in Ramanand Sagar’s epic television series Ramayan (1987). His performance as the humble and devoted friend of Lord Ram remains etched in the memories of au****nces even decades later.
In the series, Pandya beautifully depicted the emotional moment when Lord Ram, Sita, and Lakshman reach the banks of the Ganga during their exile and seek Nishadraj’s help to cross the river. His expressions of reverence, loyalty, and deep affection for Lord Ram brought authenticity and emotional depth to the character.
Though Chandrakant Pandya later appeared in several Gujarati films and television shows, it was his role as Nishadraj that earned him lasting fame and a special place in the hearts of viewers. His performance continues to be celebrated as one of the most heartfelt portrayals in Indian mythological television history.
