Ladies Not so special

Sushant's real life and reel life partner similar?

The rumours of Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande's (presently seen as Manav and Archana in Pavitra Rishta, Zee TV) 'so-called' affair have finally come to an end when Sushant cleared the air. He says that it is nothing but the similarity between the faces of his girl friend and Ankita that leave everyone confused.

He says, "My girl friend and Ankita share exactly the same features. Their face cut and almost every single thing is very similar. That's one of the reasons why people confuse her with my girl friend."

According to an Indya source, "Now it's been quite some time since everybody is well aware of Sushant and Ankita's affair. They love spending time with each other and often hang out with each other. But now, there have been some problems and Sushant has decided to get back to his ex."

Contrary to this, Sushant completely faked the rumours of having an affair with his reel life partner Ankita as he says, "These rumours are not true and they can not be true because I am already committed for two years now. Ankita and I are very good friends. In fact we met each other for the first time when we were shooting for the promos on the 29th of last month. And now we've become good friends, but we are definitely not seeing each other!"

Ankita too refused to admit this and quoted saying, "Yes, this is true that Sushant's girl friend and I look quite similar to each other and that is why people get confused. These rumours are not true at all, we are good friends and in fact I've even met his girl friend. We all were partying last night along with the entire unit of Pavitra Rishta."

Rajput how ever tells us about his girl friend, "Although I can't reveal her name but all I can tell you is that she is a model and hails from Kolhapur. I met her for the first time two years back in December and just after 20 days, I even proposed to her. Although now that I am shooting and don't really get time to meet her, I try to make it up at least twice a week."

With all these, even we are confused what is the whole issue all about? Hope these mysteries and confusions get solved soon and we get to meet Sushant Singh's 'real life' partner.

Before you jump to any conclusions we clarify that the couple is not getting married in real life but on the show. Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput will soon tie the knot in Pavitra Rishta. The actors who play the lead roles of Archana and Manav in the show will finally tie the knot and reportedly it will be a lavish affair. If sources are to be believed then Ekta Kapoor will grace the occasion and shower her blessings on the couple.

Informs a source, "Archana who has been facing rejections all this while from the prospective grooms is finally getting married on the show. Manav is already in love with Archana and his uncle approaches Archana's family with Manav's proposal. After an elongated sad phase finally it will be celebration time on the show."

"But the hiccup is that Archana's family is clueless about Manav's background and are unaware that he is a small time mechanic. And Manav and his family are under a wrong impression that Archana's family is aware of his background. Their marriage is actually a conspiracy planned by someone who can't see good times for Archana. The person conspiring knows Manav's truth and still pushes Archana's parents to accept the proposal," says the source.

Talking about the wedding our source says, "This will be a grand affair and the wedding will be promoted on a large scale. The production house and the channel are planning to put up hoardings and there will be ads to create the needed hype before the wedding takes place. Producer Ekta Kapoor is expected to witness the wedding in person which is expected to happen sometime in July."

Ekta Kapoor in Pavitra Rishta?

After news of Manav (Sushant Singh Rajput) and Archana (Ankita Lokhande) getting married soon on Pavitra Rishta, we bring you more exciting developments: soap queen and producer Ekta Kapoor will be making a special appearance in their wedding scene.

A source says, "The wedding sequence will be shot in a very grand way. It will be a one-hour special episode. There are high chances of Ekta Kapoor making an appearance on the show."

Apparently, Ekta is thrilled with the response her show has been getting. The source adds, "Pavitra Rishta has been getting good ratings of above 3 ever since it started. Ekta is so elated that she recently visited Dugdoo Sheth Halwaai in Pune to thank God and to seek blessings. There were even media interactions in Pune where an excited Kapoor spoke about her accomplishment."

When contacted, Sushant Singh Rajput says, "Even I've heard that Ekta ma'am will make an appearance but we haven't been told anything definitely. All we know is that the wedding sequence will be shot next week and it will be very grand. There are going to be hoardings put up all over the city promoting it."

The wedding sequence on Pavitra Rishta will be aired by the end of July.

No Bidaai in Pavitra Rishta

The upcoming wedding of Archana and Manav will see lots of twists and turns soon. The shooting for the wedding sequence is about to start next week.
An Indya source informs :"There is a lot of drama that is going to happen during and after the wedding. Archana's family is not aware about the fact that Manav is actually not well educated and is working at a garage. After she learns about it, her mother will get the shock of her life but the biggest blow will be that Manav and Archana will take pheras and will complete all rituals but immediately after that they will have to stay away from each other as her family will not allow her to go, so her bidaai is not going to happen in the show. Therefore, even after being married Archana and Manav will be separated after their marriage."

When contacted Sushant he says, "We have not started shooting for this sequence, probably next week we will start shooting for it. I have also heard that there will be lots of twists in our wedding, but I do not know the exact track."

The another buzz is that Ekta Kapoor will make a special appearance during this wedding. Right now in the show Manav who rejected the girl without looking at the picture has now realised that it was Archana's picture, with whom he is already in love. So he has just given his nod for Archana's marriage proposal. From next week onwards marriage preparations will begin in the show.

Sushant gets candid

Sushant Singh Rajput, better known as Manav of Pavitra Rishta, talks to us about the show and his experiences till now:
About co-star Ankita, he says, "Ankita and I have become good friends. She resembles my real-life girlfriend, they have similar facial features. The two of them also started modelling together before she got this show. We share a good rapport and hopefully we will continue to do so."

Sushant's character is getting married on the show, and the actor says he is comfortable with romantic scenes. "In fact, I am going to have my portfolio shot. I will call my own photographer during the wedding sequence. As for any romantic scenes, I have tackled these in past. I was in Shaimak Dawar's academy, where we had to do intimate dance forms. I think it is ok to a certain extent."

And how does his girlfriend react? "I am good observer. Whenever she sees me with someone else, I can see a change in her. She gets possessive, and I have to make her understand that it is my job. To lighten her mood and make her forget, I have taken her for long drives and romantic dinners." Though Sushant's sisters know about his relationship, his parents don't. He adds that he is not ready to marry so soon."

The actor hopes to soon try his luck in films. "I quit my engineering studies in the fourth year. My parents were not happy about, and my father didn't talk to me for many years. Someone advised me to try out theatre, so I joined Barry John. Later, I joined Shiamak Dawar's troupe, and then assisted Alan Amin. I did stunts for Raaz and was involved in production when people from Balaji Telefilms spotted me; they told me I had a good face and could become an actor, and that's how I got my first show." He adds, "I initially wanted to study film in New York, but I am now concentrating on Pavitra Rishta. My plan is to assist some directors first, and then I will try and get into films."

Sushant's father lives in Chandigarh, and he has four sisters, who are all well-settled. "One day, a group of girls came to know where I lived and landed up at my Chandigarh home and asked Dad for my number. That was when he realised that I was doing well, and now we're on talking terms again."

Sushant can also be seen Kis Desh Main Hai Mera Dil.
