To which, the actor revealed that she misses him whenever she hears the title track but not during the scenes as she is a thorough professional. She mentions keeping her feelings aside whenever she shoots a scene for Pavitra Rishta 2. 

She told BollywoodLife, “Not in the scenes. I am a very professional actor. I was prepared somewhere in my head that now I am going to act. You can’t miss Sushant and work also. I had to put him aside because I can’t work like that. So for me when I was shooting I was just in the scenes.”

“But till today when I hear the title track of the show, I get goosebumps because that was our first meeting. It was the time when Ankita met Sushant. When we were shooting for the title track, I remember I was playing with hair and did a hair flip and he was standing behind. When I hear the song I remember him. As an actor, you have to give your best to whatever you get and you just can’t keep thinking. Things do come to mind but you have to cut off and move ahead,” she added.

Meanwhile, Ankita Lokhande reprises her role as Archana in the second season of Pavitra Rishta. This time, Shaheer Sheikh essays the role of Manav in the show.
