'Pavitra Rishta 2' trailer out: Ankita Lokhande-Shaheer Sheikh as Archana-Manav make fans emotional - watch

Some love stories are eternal and one such love story is of Archana and Manav, the reel couple of the hugely popular show, ‘Pavitra Rishta’. The show made history and it is now set for a second innings where Ankita Lokhande will reprise her role as Archana while Shaheer Sheikh will play Manav, which was essayed by Sushant Singh Rajput in the first season.

OTT platform ZEE5 on Wednesday (September 1) released the much-awaited trailer of the new avatar of the show - ‘Pavitra Rishta.. It’s never too late’. ZEE5 released the teaser last week which was very well received by the fans and there was a lot of excitement for the new digital version of the series. And now with the trailer release, fans are eager to see how the series unfolds.

As seen in the trailer, the series is a romantic family drama centred around Manav and Archana, the quintessential daughter-in-law and son of every Indian family, and their two typical middle-class families. Unlike other romantic dramas, ‘Pavitra Rishta…it’s never too late’ will see the beginning of a love story from where it was forced to end as Manav and Archana are conned into the sacred union of marriage by their families.

Speaking about the show, Ankita Lokhande said, “Rarely does one do a role or a project which transforms their lives completely. Pavitra Rishta was that project for me as the love I received from the audience for Archana’s character was unparalleled. So, how could I turn down the opportunity to reprise the role and continue the legacy of Archana? I am so grateful to Ekta and ZEE for reviving Pavitra Rishta and for having faith in me again. I am eager to see the audience’s reaction to Archuu all over again”.

The new Manav, Shaheer Sheikh shared, “It has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me – from the time I was offered the role to eventually being on set and shooting with this amazing unit. It’s been a challenging role to essay, but I have given it my all. In the process of shooting the show, I realised that ‘Manav’ is the most earnest and pure character I’ve ever played and in today’s day and age, such a character is a rarity! Now I only hope that our efforts resonate with the audiences”.

‘Pavitra Rishta…it’s never too late’ will premiere on ZEE5 on September 15.
