Pavitra Rishta 2.0 has been earning mixed reactions from fans and netizens, the show has been launched by the makers as a tribute to the late actor, Sushant Singh Rajput, who rose to fame after his iconic role in Pavitra Rishta 1 as Manav.
In the second sequel, while Ankita Lokhande remains the constant leading lady, SSR got replaced by the Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi actor Shaheer Sheikh.
Speaking on the same he said, “Honestly, I have replaced Hiten Tejwani, because it was he who was doing the show before I was. For the last two and half years of the show, I think he was playing the character of Manav. So, I have technically replaced him. For the fans, I feel they don’t have to replace him (Sushant Singh Rajput) with me. He is there. He has done so many projects after that,” He added, “This is something fresh and something new and something that we have done with an honest approach. We have given it our all. It was an honest effort from my side. When I see that onscreen I can feel that a little. I don’t know what people think of it. From my end, it was an honest approach. It was ‘work’ for me, and I would never say no to work. I am an actor at the end of the day. If I had not done it somebody else would have picked it up. I felt it was a good character and I wanted to do justice to it, and so, I gave it my all.” as quoted by Bollywood Life.
