As I have told on the forum a few times before also, I fell for the show for two reasons: 1.) The concept of the show, which was shown in the trailer 2.) The song 'Dreams of Fire' from Slumdog millionaire which was used so beautifully in that trailer.
I like love stories which show love as strength which sweetens the life of individuals and like the concept of soulmates as people who help each other in every step of life and help you grow. PR seemed to be such a story from the first trailer and I liked it. I started watching the show from the 2nd episode where I liked the character of Archana, and fell in love with Manav, who was introduced in the end of the episode. Did not fall for Archana or Manav's looks that much but later started noticing how handsome and cute Sushant was and how absolutely gorgeous Anki was. The story of the show worsened slowly, following the typical Ekta trend, but Sushant and Ankita made a place in my heart.
I am really glad that I watched PR- cos of them I got acquainted with the characters of Manav and Archana who will always be my favourites, for Ankita and Sushant of whom I am today a proud fan, and most of all for this forum where I made some really good friends and learned so much. Thank you Ekta for this once-upon-a-time wonderful show called Pavitra Rishta, which I think has absolutely, completely, ekdum ended for many people now thanks to the exit of Ankita ie our Archana. We wish the new Archana ie Gautami luck, but for those who have watched the show since the beginning, there can be only one Archana and Manav.
I just hope and pray now that both Sushant and Ankita do well in their lives outside Pavitra Rishta. Sushant has already taken off well, now I am keeping y fingers crossed for Ankita. Both of them always loved PR and were devoted to the show, I am happy both of them quit the show on pleasant terms with Ekta and the rest of the cast.
