Ankita Lokhande: Saviour on and off screen...

The Maha Episode of Zee TV's Pavitra Rishta which will be aired on 3rd April will see a major twist wherein Archana (Ankita Lokhande) pushes Savita Tai (Usha Nadkarni) inside the kitchen and bolts the door from outside and in no time, there is an explosion and the kitchen is in flames.. The scene was shot magnificently with the usage of real fire..

However, there was a minor accident that happened when filming the scene..

A little birdie from the set tells us, "As soon as Archana pushed Savita into the kitchen, the technician set the kitchen partically on fire. Sensing the sudden heat, Usha Nadkarni panicked and darted to a corner. Unfortunately, the palloo of her saree came in contact with fire, and she ended up burning her fingers".

Ankita who witnessed all this from outside the door ran to her rescue immediately.

Our source adds, "Ankita helped Usha to calm down by giving her water and by extinguishing flames with water and fire extinguisher".

We contacted Ankita Lokhande who confirmed, "Yes, while we were shooting, fire flames caught Usha Aai but fortunately I was there for her rescue".

We hear that Archana will similarly save Savita Tai from fire in the Maha Episode of Pavitra Rishta..
