The popular TV program Pavitra Rishta, starring Ankita Lokhande and Shaheer Sheikh, is getting a second season, on streaming portals ZEE5 and ALTBalaji. The show, which was produced by Ekta Kapoor and starred late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Kumar, became a hit in 2009 and made Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita a household name.

A photo of Lokhande, 36, and Sheikh during the show’s shoot was shared on ALTBalaji‘s official Instagram account. “Sometimes in most ordinary lives, we find the most extraordinary love stories. Witness the extraordinary love story of Manav and Archana. The show begins filming. Streaming soon on ALTBalaji,” the caption read.”
