Reportedly ankita lokhande became famous in every household through the popular tv show Pavitra Rishta. She

progressed a lot with the character of Archana. This show ran on tv from 2009 to 2014 and gained immense

fame. It was here that he met sushant singh Rajput, who played the role of Manav Deshmukh in the show for the

first three years. Ankita was an outsider in the hindi industry. He also had to face many difficulties. She had told

during an interview in 2021 that a casting couch incident had happened with her, after which she was in shock.


While talking to bollywood Bubble, she had said – Long ago when I was young, I was called for a South film.

He called me to his room and asked – Ankita, I want to ask you something. You will have to compromise. I was

19-20 years old at that time, but I was very smart. And I turned to him and asked – What kind of compromise

does your producer want, does he want me to go to parties and dinners. Then the person said- You will have to

sleep with the producer. But as soon as he asked, I played his band. I had clearly said – I think your producer

wants a girl to sleep with, not a talented girl to work with. And I left from there. After this he apologized to me

and wanted to take me in the film. But I clearly refused for the film.

The second time such an incident happened with Ankita when she came to films from tv shows. Ankita said-

When I came back to films, I had to go through this again. I don’t want to take the name of that actor, he is a big

actor, everyone knows it. But as soon as he held my hand, I got vibes and I released his hand. I understood that

now I will not be here. There was a give and take relationship there, I left from there.
