Ankita Lokhande, known for her iconic portrayal of Archana in the beloved TV show 'Pavitra Rishta,' took to Instagram to commemorate the series' 15-year journey alongside her own in the entertainment industry.

She expressed gratitude to Ekta Kapoor and Balaji Telefilms for entrusting her with such a significant role early in her career, acknowledging the everlasting impact it has had on her life.

Furthermore, Ankita took a poignant moment to remember her co-star, the late Sushant Singh Rajput, who played the role of Manav, her on-screen love interest.

She credited Sushant for mentoring her through her acting journey, acknowledging his pivotal role in shaping her skills and the show's groundbreaking storytelling.

As she reflected on the unique portrayal of Marathi culture in 'Pavitra Rishta,' Ankita emphasized the show's innocence and its ability to resonate with viewers on a profound level.

In the following post, she also added a series of pictures of her with Sushant as Archana and Manav captioning it as, "It's not just 15 years of Archana, it's also 15 years of Archana and Manav, a couple who personified love, marriage, understanding and companionship. They're perfect. They're what we call "Goals"."

She highlighted Sushant's transition from television to Bollywood, underscoring his remarkable journey and the impact of his sudden demise on the industry.

Sushant Singh Rajput, who rose to fame with his portrayal of Manav in 'Pavitra Rishta,' ventured into Bollywood with notable films like 'Kai Po Che!' and 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.' His untimely passing in 2020 left a void in the hearts of millions, with his final film 'Dil Bechara' released posthumously as a poignant tribute to his legacy.

In contrast, Ankita Lokhande embarked on a journey in films, showcasing her talent in supporting roles in projects like 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi' and 'Baaghi 3.' Her latest endeavour is 'Swantantrya Veer Savarkar' alongside Randeep Hooda. (ANI)
