“This Ramleela was started in 1972 and since then, both Hindus and Muslims have been a part of it. I started working on it when I was 13-years-old and since then, I have been a part of it,” Khan said.

Khan, his two sons, and a grandson participate in the play with much zeal every year.

Calling for unity between Hindus and Muslims, Khan said, “God did not divide people as Hindus and Muslims. We are all one, as brothers. Above all, we are human beings.”
