Ankita Lokhande

For weeks, there has been speculations about Ekta Kapoor wanting to bring in a replacement for the character of Archana in Zee TV’s Pavitra Rishta. But now all the idle gossip can be laid to rest as both the channel and Balaji confirmed that Ankita Lokhande is indeed returning to reclaim her role on the show after a break of three months. Ankits exclaims, “Yes, I had taken a break as I wanted to spend some quality time with Sushant and my family. These three months have been a refreshing change of pace. What many people don’t realize is that when you are a part of a daily soap you don’t really get time for anything else. Now that the show has completed 1000 episodes and my request for a much deserved break has been suitably accommodated, I am back for a second innings on the show. Ekta ma’am has been very kind to allow me to take the break I asked for and I am really grateful to her and the team for that.”
 
For the last few months, Ankita’s character, Archana was shown to be in a coma and doctors are trying their best to bring her out of it. Ankita has started shooting for the show from the weekend, so all Ankita fans can rejoice now.
