In the fast-paced world of glitz and glamour, some bonds transcend the camera. Recently, content creator and producer Ekta Kapoor took a walk down memory lane, reflecting on the profound connection she shared with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. For many, Sushant was a superstar, but for Ekta and his Pavitra Rishta co-star Ankita Lokhande, he was family.
During a recent celebration marking 16 years of the iconic show Pavitra Rishta, Ekta shared an emotional anecdote that left fans teary-eyed. She spoke about the early days of “Archana and Manav” the characters that made Sushant and Ankita household names. Ekta recalled how the duo didn't just build a successful show; they built a life. "Ankita and Sushant built a home together," she noted, reminiscing about the genuine love and simplicity they shared during their formative years in the industry.
A Bond Built on Stars and Dreams
Ekta described Sushant as a "different kind of genius." While most actors talk about their next big hit or box office numbers, Sushant was always different. He would spend hours talking to Ekta about astrology, astronomy, and the mysteries of the universe. He was a seeker, someone who looked at the stars not just for luck, but to understand the "meta-physics" of life.
Ankita’s Emotional Tribute
Ankita Lokhande also recently shared how Sushant was her greatest teacher on set. Being new to the craft, she often felt intimidated by long scenes, but Sushant—ever the supportive partner—would patiently guide her through her lines. Even years after his passing, the mention of his name brings a mixture of pride and pain to those who knew him best.
The story of Sushant and Ankita wasn't just a tabloid romance; it was a journey of two people growing up together under the mentorship of Ekta Kapoor. Today, as fans celebrate the legacy of Pavitra Rishta, these memories serve as a reminder that behind the "brightest star" was a boy who just wanted to explore the stars.
