The audience will once again see the chemistry on Manav and Archana onscreen. Yes, we are talking about the new season of popular TV show Pavitra Rishta, which starred late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande in the lead roles. The role of Manav Deshmukh is now played by actor Shaheer Sheikh and Ankita has reprised her role as Archana. Sushant Singh Rajput, who was found dead in Mumbai on June 14 last year, rose to fame as the lead on Pavitra Rishta, an Ekta Kapoor-produced soap opera that has returned for a new season.
