Created by Ekta Kapoor, the show revolved around Manav (Sushant) and Archana (Ankita), a married couple. The two became a household favourite with their stint in the Hindi drama.
In fact, not only in reel life, the two fell head over heels in love with each other in real life, too, while shooting for the show. However, they parted ways after being in a relationship for nearly six years.
Soon after she dropped the post, fans swamped the comment section with red heart emoticons and emotional messages.
“Sushant u r missed every minute,” a fan commented.
Another fan wrote, “Yes this is my most favourite show.” “Missing sushant+manav,” a fan wrote.
A fan commented, “Miss u MANAV (SUSHANT) we love manav…we love u SUSHANT …by the way show mai manav b tha only archna se show nahi bana tha.” Sushant was found dead at the age of 34 at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020, which created a lot of controversies.
Meanwhile, Ankita will be next seen opposite actor Randeep Hooda in ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ – a biopic on the late freedom fighter, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.
The movie also features Amit Sial in a pivotal role.
‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ marks the debut of Randeep Hooda as a director besides playing the titular role. Randeep Hooda has replaced Mahesh Manjrekar as the director of the project.
