Pavitra Rishta completes three years of run on Zee TV
The world of entertainment is ruled by competition and in order to prove your worth, you have to beat the other one in the race.

And when it comes to television then this desire of being the best exists among all. With loads of TV shows running on different channels, it has really become difficult for us as viewers to make the right choice. More importantly, it has become tougher for the makers to beat the heat and sustain for long.

On one hand where shows hardly get to breathe for a year, we have Balaji Telefilms’ long running and still a successful one to be precise, Pavitra Rishta, which has completed its three years of existence today i.e. June 1, 2012. This apparently has called for a huge celebration for the whole of Pavitra Rishta team. The show based on the lives of two simpletons, Manav (inclusive of both Hiten Tejwani as present one and Sushant Singh Rajput as the older one) and Archana (Ankita Lokhande) has been ruling the roost since its start.

Even the leap introduced of late was also welcomed openly and the young lot too is doing a great job. Usha Nadkarni who essays the role of Savita Taai shared her happiness saying, “Yes, Pavitra Rishta is my baby, and it feels nice to see that the show has completed 3 years. I still remember the day when I entered the show. It has been fun playing the character of Savita.”

Congratulations to the whole team and we just hope they keep bagging love of their fans this way!

I am not into material pursuits, claims Ankita Lokhande

I am not into material pursuits, claims Ankita Lokhande
Ankita Lokhande has won many hearts as Archana in the show Pavitra Rishta and she is still doing so. The long-running show is still at its peak and high on TRPs and one just love to watch Ankita in her on-screen role.

Even though Ankita feels she is content with what she has achieved in her life so far, the fire in the belly becomes obvious as the actress talks about her penchant to stay focused on her career dreams.

Hailing from a middle class family in Indore, Ankita decided to take the uncharted territory and make it big in the world of glam. Talking about her show, she tells, "I feel overjoyed by the fact that people love me so much. Both Manav and Archana are strong characters and now when their children are taking a lead in the storyline, I expect the same to click with the fans too," says Ankita.

The girl is also known for her relationship with actor Sushant Singh Rajput, her former co-star in the show. A very satisfied Ankita says, "I am not into material pursuits. I am content with whatever is happening in my life - the kind of lifestyle I am leading and the way my career is shaping up. I've got a wonderful boyfriend. So I do not have any other thing to long for."

Well, that is really good way of living!

Television was never really my final destination, avers Rithvik Dhanjani

Television was never really my final destination, avers Rithvik Dhanjani
Rithvik Dhanjani began his television journey as a lovelorn werewolf in Pyaar Ki Yeh Ek Kahaani, and now he is back again on the small screen as Arjun in his new show Pavitra Rishta following the leap.

Earlier he has tried his hands in dance, modeling and featuring in a number of television commercials, but eventually found his feet in the showbiz industry. He admits that it has always been his dream to be in the entertainment industry. "I was never cut out for a desk job," he swans.

Although, he always wanted to be an actor, television was never really the final destination. He says, "I never wanted to do television. But then I was offered the role of Jeh Khurana in Pyaar Kii Yeh Ek Kahaani. Ekta had immense trust in me and it was my responsibility to do justice to the character."

Even though he is just two shows old in the industry, Rithvik feels strongly about the entertainment industry. "All shows that are screened today are over dramatic. But that is what works. These daily soaps are not just a medium of story-telling. Their primary motive is to entertain the audience. People who do not like these shows should watch art movies," he says.

Well, now it has to be seen if people follow his advice or not!
