Ankita demands monetary hike; Ekta and channel refuse…future of Pavitra Rishta uncertain
Yet again there’s an atmosphere of tension on the sets of Balaji Telefilms’ popular show, Pavitra Rishta on Zee TV. And it is yet again the pretty lass Ankita Lokhande who is having (read: creating) a problem.
Seems like ‘competition’ is playing on Ankita’s mind to become one of the heavily paid actors in the TV industry. And she has very conveniently put her point across to the channel and the production house.
As per a reliable source, “There’s a bit of unrest settling in between Ankita and the channel and the production house. Apparently, Ankita has asked for a bomb of a monetary hike in order to continue with the show. She compares herself to Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar and want to be paid like them. This time around, both the parties, namely Ekta as well as the channel are not giving in to Ankita’s demands.”
Well, this might only mean that it will get all the more tough to keep Ankita for a longer time in the Pavitra Rishta family.
Well, if this is the case, then the future of Pavitra Rishta looks uncertain.
Cuts in the source again, “The last time around, when Ankita went out of the show to spend quality time with her beau Sushant (Singh Rajput), the show had the other very popular pair of Rithvik Dhanjani and Asha Negi to take the onus on themselves and keep the ship going steady. But now, the creative team does not have any other popular face or pair in Pavitra Rishta to bank on. Hence if Ankita does not come to terms, this might as well lead to the closure of the long-running show Pavitra Rishta.”
Not the first time though, that a show will shut down owing to the lead actor quitting. The earlier example being the shutdown of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (Star Plus) due to the exit of the lead Barun Sobti.
As of now, all we can say is that the future of Pavitra Rishta is in Ankita’s hands.
We sent a text message to Producer Ekta Kapoor to get her response on the same, but did not get any revert.
All efforts to get in touch with Ankita proved futile.
We also texted a channel spokesperson and awaiting response.
As usual, we will keep you updated on the latest developments from the sets of Pavitra Rishta.

So Ekta give the woman what she demands she is truly deserving

June 25, 09:10Oh….
Ending the show???
Can I say a premature thank you to Ankita….:-)
The end of all these tears and same old drab storylines…..Yippee….
Well, we certainly need some space for some newer and better shows….
But it’s sad when a show ends, all those actors that don’t have something to fall back on are once again jobless….
Soham and Pari are often seen on Bade Ache Lagte Hai…Balan is Ishita’s father in Yeh hai Mohabbatein…
Common denominator, they are all Ekta Kappor’s serials. She makes good use of her actors….but what about the rest….

June 24, 15:35That’s ok we can handle Pavitra Rishta ending sooner than you think. It will be a pleasure actually to have another show replace it.
