In an unexpected twist, a Ramlila performance in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha district took an unscripted turn when the actors portraying Lord Ram and Ravan engaged in a real-life brawl on stage. The incident, which has since gone viral, shocked the audience as what was intended to be a dramatic reenactment of the Ramayana became an actual fight.
The confrontation began when the man playing Ravan unexpectedly pushed the actor portraying Ram, catching both the audience and fellow performers off guard. The 36-second video, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by journalist Sachin Gupta, captures the chaos as Ram and Ravan, along with Lakshman, aim arrows at each other. However, instead of following the script, the two actors began punching and pulling each other’s hair until bystanders intervened to break up the fight.

The video quickly went viral, sparking a range of reactions online. One user commented, “While acting Ramlila, Mahabharata actually happened,” while another joked, “This Ravana turned out to be really powerful.” Others criticized the behavior, with one user saying, “It is a religious performance. What is the need to behave vulgarly?”
Adding to the bizarre series of events, another video featuring the actor playing Ravan surfaced online. In the clip, he can be seen dancing enthusiastically to the popular Haryanvi song “52 Gaj Ka Daman.” The caption humorously reads, “Girl: I have an interview today, I am very afraid what will happen. Boys (before getting burnt):” The video has also gained significant attention, with over 200,000 views on X.
The incidents have left viewers both amused and bewildered, with many commenting on the unexpected turn of events during what should have been a solemn religious performance.
