Producer Ekta Kapoor announced that she will be bringing back Pavitra Rishta 2. While Ankita Lokhande will play the role Archana, Shaheer Sheikh as Manav, the character originally played by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, and later Hiten Tejwani. The shooting for Pavitra Rishta 2 has already begun and pictures from the set have also flooded on the Internet. While fans were happy to hear the show coming back, SSR admirers got mad and aggressive to see the actor being replaced.
On Tuesday, the hashtag ‘Boycott Pavitra Rishta 2’ became one of the top trends on social media and several users shared that they don’t want to see Sushant’s character being replaced. At the same time, the show’s lead actors — Ankita Lokhande and Shaheer Sheikh — were brutally trolled. Sample some of the tweets:
No one can replace this gem

We will keep fighting for his honor

Pavitra Rista serial was popular for Sushant, not for any Natunkita.

Strange, U had blocked me Mr. Shaheer Sheikh. A precautionary measure? Whatever respect you had earned through the role U played as Arjuna, you lost it.

The first part of the show had the late Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande in lead roles as Manav and Archana. Shaheer Sheikh now joins the show as Manav. It was a show about a middle class couple living a quiet life in Mumbai.
Ankita too shared some pictures and boomerang from the set on Instagram. She posted a boomerang video playing with the show’s clapboard.
