Pavitra Rishta actress Ankita Lokhande's search for the perfect Bollywood debut film ends...
Ankita Lokhande's three year long wait to find the perfect Bollywood debut is over! As now small screen's favourite bahu, Archana will be seen in the role of Jhalkaribai in Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. Ankita will be seen as a women soldier in Rani Laxmibai's army who rose to the position of a prominent advisor and the peak of their battle with Britishers, disguised herself as the queen. Rumours of her doing Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati is now a thing of the past, as an excited Ankita spilled the beans about her debut film .
In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, she said, "I'm indebted to Kamal(Jain) sir for this challenging role in a big-budget film scripted by Baahubali writer KV Vijayendra Prasad alongside a National Award-winning actress like Kangana, who exudes power and is an inspiration to all women. I'm looking forward to learning from her once we start shooting in August." The actress is currently training in sword fighting with Hollywood action director, Nick Powell and has no regrets about waiting to sign a film for so long. Lokhande said, " I was always a content girl. I stayed with Pavitra Rishta for six years. Even after other left, I carried on because a mother doesn't abandon her baby. No regrets, my TV show gave me name, fame and money; and now I hope to repeat that success on a bigger platform."
The lady is not only starting afresh in the professional space, but is ready to embrace life after a break up with longtime beau, Sushant Singh Rajput too. She confessed not being in touch with him anymore and said, " I am not thinking of the past or the future right now, I'm only focussed on the present. I have my own house, a car I bought with my own money and a beautiful film I can't wait to start. I get gooseflesh at the thought of seeing myself on the big screen."
