With Ankita Lokhande following in the footsteps of her beau Sushant Singh Rajput and quitting Pavitra Ristha, speculation is rife over who will replace her. While Shilpa Saklani is one of the contenders, the latest buzz is that Gautami Kapoor (Ram Kapoor's wife) is being finalised for the role. A source says, "There are 70 per cent chances of Gautami doing the role." However, sources from the production house Balaji Telefilms deny it saying they are still in the process of auditioning and no one has been short-listed yet. But in what could be a twist to the tale, chances are Ankita herself will continue as Archana! Says a source, "Ekta wants only Ankita for the role and is trying her best to retain her."
