Punit Goenka addressed ZEE employees on Thursday, exactly three days after Sony sent them a termination intimation for the $10 million merger. While Goenka spoke at length about the merger fallout and its impact he also shared anecdotes from his recent Ayodhya visit on the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony.
Talking about the energy level at the event and appreciating the way the ceremony was organised, executed and managed he said, “The Ayodhya experience was completely surreal."
“Yogi Adityanath and PM Modi made a point to prove to the world that we too can build the Vatican of this country,” he added.

"As I arrived at Ayodhya early this morning for the auspicious occasion of Pran Pratishtha, I received a message that the deal that I have spent 2 years envisioning and working towards had fallen through, despite my best and most honest efforts. I believe this to be a sign from the Lord. I resolve to move ahead positively and work towards strengthening Bharat’s pioneering M&E Company, for all its stakeholders. Jai Shri Ram," Goenka had shared in a tweet.
