New Manav: Hiten Tejwani or Sharad Kelkar

Sushant Singh Rajput will be off the hit Zee TV show Pavitra Rishta post Diwali and the search for the new Manav has intensified. Ekta Kapoor has got two popular actors in the race for the lead role of her show.

An Indya source reveals, "Manav will leave for a trip in the show post celebrating Diwali with his family. Sushant, spent his last day of shoot with the cast and crew and enjoying himself shooting for the Diwali episode. The show will now take 18-year-old leap and sources claim Manav will be killed in the show which is how perhaps Balaji will be able to accommodate a new face instead of Sushant as Manav. Ekta is considering two names – her loyal star Hiten Tejwani and the talented Sharad Kelkar."

Ask Hiten Tejwani about being approached and he says, "Yes, I have being offered to play Manav but as of now, nothing has been finalized. I really like Manav's character and the projection of the show."

Sharad Kelkar too confirms the offer. "Yes, they approached not only me but many well known actors. At this moment, I can't say much because everything depends on the story line and Ekta's decision which will be final post- Diwali. Pavitra Rishta is a hit show and Manav is a hit character."

Don't forget to watch Pavitra Rishta every Monday to Friday at 9 pm only on Zee TV.

Seriously - bring the show to a close now, nicely while Sushant is there.

Do a Season II of Pavitra Rishta with new faces if needed be.


History has shown itself that show loose flavor and audience with lead character changes. So many people liked the show with its original characters. Don't spoil the show.

😭 to see Sushant leave.

But hey... I like both the prospective replacements,
especially Hiten😳

Sushant quit. Period. Whether we like it or not Maybe Ankita will follow too, who knows?

So I will welcome a replacement rather than ending PR.

no pls not Hiten, I don't want the fans to hate him, he's a terrific actor but I can't see him or anyone else playing Manav, pls CVs kill the character ... no replacements pls.

confusing article, it says Manav will be killed and then says both HIten & Sharad have been approached to play Manav 😕 so m guessing there'll be an accident and Manav's face will be disfigured after that he'll have a plastic surgery and look like either Hiten or Sharad ... wow !! how original & creative 😳 😳

No one can replace Sushant as Manav not even Hiten or Sharad😡 he was the life of the show😍
plz end the show😡 after his exit PR will be dead🤢

she couldn't use dis idea of geting alive from dead in 4 tears leap so she is using dis idea now ... how innovative...

I like both actors but I don't think they would be a good choice opposite Ankita, I like the actor who was rumored to be taking Manav's place. I think he and Ankita may work well together.
