37 re-takes for Sushant-Ankita's Hugging Scene ' And Neither of the them is Compaining!

Have you had a chance to see the latest promo of Zee TV's popular soap Pavitra Rishta? The one that has main leads Sushant Rajput (Maanav) and Ankita Lokhande (Archana) running hand-in-hand, boarding a BEST bus and hugging passionately? The promo comes as a ray of hope for millions of fans across the country who wish to see their favorite Manav & Archana re-united at last. Well, here's what happened while shooting the much-talked-about promo!

Bringing alive the essence of an urban romance between the two middle-class lovers, Sushant and Ankita were to board the BEST bus and dissolve in each other's arms, oblivious to public glare. Given that the duo have been know to be good friends and had no qualms cozying up publicly, they kept giggling and blushing through the takes and displayed more than the intensity required of them. The count of takes kept mounting and reached an insane 37 and they didn't seem to mind it at all!

A source from the sets revealed, "We were beginning to wonder if the two would lose their patience. But we were surprised to see Sushant and Ankita in great spirits, absolutely relishing every bit of the shoot." He added with a wink, "Perhaps, what worked was the fact that the scene required them to engage in behavior that comes most naturally to them!" Now that's what they call "natural acting"!

So when will the duo tie the knot ' ahem ' in reel life, that is? Watch out for the interesting twists in their lives on Pavitra Rishta, Mondays through Fridays at 9 PM on Zee TV.

So true! Ankita and Sushant are complete opposites of their characters and adorable to watch! I am so excited to see their characters finally reunite!
