For fans, it wasn’t just a reel but a trip down memory lane for those who grew up watching her on the show. The clip did not just prompt fans to relive the memories of the show but also share their love for the classic track. One of them wrote, “All-time favorite girl,” while another said, “If gorgeous had a face.” Several others reminisced about the show, with one writing, “This song in Pavitra Rishta takes me back.” Someone else added, “Pavitra Rishta yaad aa gaya.”
15 Years Of Pavitra Rishta
Notably, when Pavitra Rishta completed its 15 years in 2024, Ankita penned a heartfelt note for the show and even remembered Sushant Singh Rajput, crediting him for the support throughout the filming.
She wrote, “15 years ago, I started my journey as Archana in Pavitra Rishta. Little did I know that even after years, I will continue to get so much love for my role, which has even become my identity. I sometimes feel I was destined to be Archana. I had her in me, and I continue to have her in me. She has taught me a lot about life.”
The actress added, “My journey wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t have Sushant’s support. I didn’t even know how to act when I started Pavitra Rishta. He taught me, and I will always be thankful for him. The show started a new kind of storytelling.”
Sushant Singh Rajput left mid-show and transitioned to films, earning acclaim for projects like Kai Po Che! and MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. Unfortunately, the actor was found dead in his Mumbai apartment in June 2020.
