Mumbai, December 17, 2024: Single parenting has often been viewed as a modern-day spectacle, with the parent navigating the complexities of raising his/her children while carrying the weight of responsibilities without the presence of the partner. However, while the concept of single parenting might seem contemporary, it finds its roots in a story much older than we often realize. Centuries ago, Sita, the beloved queen of Ayodhya, set a remarkable precedent. Her journey, as chronicled in Sony SAB’s Shrimad Ramayan, is not just a tale of resilience but also a lesson in strength, independence, and parenting against all odds.
Sita’s life took a dramatic turn when circumstances compelled her to raise her children, Luv and Kush, on her own. In the face of heartbreak and separation, she chose not to let adversity define her or her children’s future. Instead, she poured her love and wisdom into shaping their characters, teaching them the values of courage, humility, and justice.
What makes Sita’s story particularly inspiring is her decision to shield her children from negativity. She focused on fostering kindness and resilience in her sons, ensuring they grow into self-reliant and virtuous individuals.
Prachi Bansal, who portrays Sita in Sony SAB’s Shrimad Ramayan reflects on the relevance of her story today. “Sita’s strength as a single parent transcends time. Her ability to rise above her struggles and focus on the well-being of her children is something that resonates with single parents even now and makes her a timeless role model.”
Sony SAB’s Shrimad Ramayan doesn’t just retell the epic; it shines a light on the enduring lessons it holds for our times. And at the heart of it is Sita—the original single parent, whose story continues to inspire generations to believe in the transformative power of unconditional love and strength.
