‘Pavitra Rishta` aired from June 2009 to October 2014. It is an adaptation of the Tamil television series Thirumathi Selvam. Along with Ankita Lokhande, who played the memorable Archana, the show starred late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who played the endearing Manav. In late 2018, and later in 2020 after the death of Sushant, the series was rebroadcast. A web series titled `Pavitra Rishta - It`s Never Too Late` aired in September 2021 starring Ankita reprising her role as Archana and Shaheer Sheikh as Manav.

Ankita took to Instagram, sharing a clip of her journey from ‘Pavitra Rishta’ to date, and penned a comprehensive post expressing her gratitude towards fans and remembering Sushant.
