Sushant Singh Rajput made a name for himself by breathing his character Manav in Zee TV's Pavitra Rishta and hence the news about him leaving the show came as a big blow to all. Not only the cast and crew of the show but also the people sitting on the other side of the screen are upset with his decision of leaving the show to give his career a new turn. Sushant shot for his last episode yesterday which will have Manav going out of the house for some urgent work after the Diwali celebrations.

Now that things are officially closed, the production house has started looking for their 'new' Manav and has approached well known names to play the character.

Though nothing is sealed yet, we hear that Sharad Kelkar and Hiten Tejwani have been approached for the role and the new Manav will start shooting post Diwali.Sharad Kelkar confirmed that he has been approached whereas Hiten Tejwani remained unavailable.

Whoever it is, he surely has some big shoes to fill. Let's wait and see who will be the lucky one!

Please end this show .What was keeping the show going was the chemistry between Sushant and Ankita , without that there is nothing left in the show anyway ...
