Being a Marathi, she cannot stay away from the celebrations and the blessings of Lord Ganesha. So how exactly does she plan to bring in the madness of the festivities? She spilled the beans in an exclusive interaction with Mid-day India.
She revealed, “I think Ganpati Bappa is coming for 11 days at our place. I’m so excited like every time because when he comes, we make Ladoos for him, Modaks are his favourite, and then there’s Puranpoli. It feels nice! He’s coming and I’m very happy. He and I have a true Pavitra Rishta. That’s what I feel.”
As seen in the trailer, the series is a romantic family drama centred around Manav and Archana. The two are set up by their families for an arranged marriage and they fall in love at first sight. To ensure the union, Manav's family lies about their financial situation. Things begin to crumble once the reality comes out, challenging Archana and Manav's love for each other.
Ekta R Kapoor, Joint Managing Director of Balaji Telefilms Limited, shared, "Some shows and characters leave a big impression on you for years to come. 'Pavitra Rishta' was one such show which impacted so many lives and received so much love and good wishes from fans across the world. There could not have been a better timing to bring back the show and honour the legacy of it. I am sure that the fans will give it as much as love and acceptance as they did to the first season".
The show first aired in 2009 on Zee TV, in which late actor Sushant Singh Rajput essayed the role of Manav.
