Dilip Tiwari, the organistion's director told ANI that people from all religions performing together is an act of togetherness.

" People love Mohammad Rafi just as much as Lata Mangeshkar. Actors have no religion. Everyone, regardless of faith or caste, can be an artiste, " he added. Dharmendra, vice president of the Ramlila Committee, stated that this is one of the oldest committees in the city, having staged Ramlila for over a century. "There are no religious restrictions in this place. Everybody is welcome in the Ramlila, regardless of their religion or caste," he added.

A performer who is a participant in the programme, Huma Kamal, expressed her delight at being a part of it and stated that an artiste has no religion. "In this Ramlila, I am playing the characters of Trijata and Anusuiya. Here, people of all faiths contribute and engage. Everything is on an equal footing," she added.
