Ankita Lokhande and the late Sushant Singh Rajput had made their place in the hearts of the audiences through their roles of Manav and Archana in their debut show, Pavitra Rishta. Though Sushant had left the show in between owing to his dream to make it big in Bollywood, the duo was still dating back then. However, when the couple broke up in 2016, it was not only a shock but a major letdown for their fans.

Marking 12 years of the iconic show today, Ankita Lokhande poured her heart out in an Instagram post, writing: “12 years! Oh, yes… yes, it’s 12 years of Pavitra Rishta, time flies really quickly. With more than 66 awards, Pavitra Rishta remains to be one of the most loved show on Indian Television. Here’s to 12 glorious years of this iconic show… Which not only gave me Archana but love all across the globe and made me who I’m today.”

Ankita also thanked Ekta Kapoor for making her part of Pavitra Rishta. “The story that celebrates joy of life, love, family and friendship. Thank you Balaji, Ekta Kapoor for making me Archana and thank you to all the cast and crew. Thank you Maa and Paa for always supporting me,” the actress wrote further.

The actress’ post, which comes with a montage of Pavitra Rishta memories, made fans of Sushant Singh Rajput quite a bit emotional. They flooded Ankita’s post with comments remembering the late actor – the common emotion being: “Miss you, Sushant Singh Rajput.”

Producer Ekta Kapoor also shared the same montage on her social media and expressed gratitude towards the show. She has mentioned the show Pavitra Rishta gave her lifelong bonds. “12 years n a million memories later.
