Sushant Singh Rajput to finally bid adieu to Pavitra Rishta

The news of Sushant Singh Rajput (Manav) quitting Zee TV’s Pavitra Rishta has been doing the rounds for quite sometime now. However, the latest news that is floating in from the sets is that the actor has finally decided to bid adieu to the show. The actor is currently serving his notice period and he will deliver his last dialogue for Pavitra Rishta on 23 October. Reliable sources from the show informed that Sushant was supposed to quit the show last month but he decided to continue as the production house, Balaji, did not manage to find the apt replacement. The source further informed that queen of daily soaps Ekta Kapoor suggested Mrunal Jain’s name as the replacement. But now that there is still some time before Sushant’s exit, the production house is considering few more names. Sushant’s last day of shooting is 23 October after which a new face will essay his character. As reported earlier, Sushant wants to pursue film-making for which he intends to go abroad. Sushant also didn’t approve of the leap sequence in the show which is round the corner. We talked to Sushant Singh Rajput who said, “I can’t comment at this point of time.” One of the major reasons for Pavitra Rishta’s success is not just its storyline but also its lead actors Manav (Sushant Singh Rajput) and Archana (Ankita Lokhande). Viewers loved the chemistry between them. Now that Sushant will be out of the show, only time will tell how the masses will react to the change. Keep reading this section for more updates.
