June 7, 2010 (Sampurn Wire):There were a lot of queries about the Archana-Manav divorce in ‘Pavitra Rishta’. The question of how the screen couple Sushant Rajput and Ankita Lokhande will manage to survive without seeing each other on the sets has now become an issue. But don’t worry audience! They will be together off screen though not onscreen now.
A source from the sets says, “The Karanjkar and Deshmukh families are shown far away from each other on the screen, in reality, they are both besides each other separated by only a floor. So it’s not like, Ankita and Sushant do not meet at all. They are together on the sets and the only thing that separates them are their shots. And even after the divorce, there are certain scenes which demand the presence of both Archana and Manav and they shoot the scenes together.”
The source goes on, “Ankita accompanies Sushant after the shoot to the rehearsals of ‘Zara Nachke Dikha’. They are hardly separated from each other.”
So viewers can now heave a sigh of relief even as Archana and Manav get separated on screen. ‘All is well’ for them off screen!
