Juhi Chawla says Sita is not a talkative character in the forthcoming 3-D animated film Ramayana - The Epic, but the actress at times had to do take after take to give the voiceover. With Hindi-speaking skills becoming worse by the day, she found it quite a challenge, says Chawla.

"Even though this film is an animation film, I was privileged to give the voiceover for such a beautiful character. It didn't take me more than two minutes to say yes. Only thing I was concerned about was it should be a quality film - and it has really turned out to be one," Juhi said in an interview.
"It's not like Sita fought wars, but she was a picture of beauty, dignity, patience, love and endurance. She is quiet strength. She is not aggressive and has many beautiful qualities in her," she added.
Sita, the wife of Ayodhya prince Lord Rama, is one of the principal characters in the Indian epic Ramayana.
Even though Juhi has done many films like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Bol Radha Bol, Darr, Yes Boss, Ishq and Jhankaar Beats, she found the experience interesting and challenging.
"When you act in a film and you dub for it, the thing is you have already enacted that scene and now the whole challenge is to try and match it again.

While Rama's voiceover has been given by Manoj Bajpayee, Raavan's voice is by Ashutosh Rana. It is slated to hit the screens Friday.
Asked what her earliest memories of the Ramayan were, Juhi revealed: "I have learnt almost all my mythology practically from 'Amar Chitra Katha' comics. That was my connection!"
