Pavitra Rishta 2.0: Sushant Singh Rajput’s Co-Star Usha Nadkarni Won’t Be Returning For Season 2 With Ankita

Earlier this year it was reported that Pavitra Rishta 2.0, the second season of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande’s popular show, is in the works. While Ankita will be reprising her beloved character of Archana Deshmukh, makers are currently on the lookout for a new Manav, the role which was beautifully portrayed by Sushant. The show will release on Ekta Kapoor’s OTT platform ALT Balaji. Well, latest reports have now revealed that Sushant and Ankita’s co-star Usha Nadkarni won’t be a part of the second season.

The actress portrayed the role of Sushant’s on-screen mother in the show and was an integral part of the story. In a chat with Pinkvilla, Usha ji confirmed that she won’t be seen in season two and explained, “Because of the Covid scare, my family doesn’t let me step out of the house. I am old, and I have diabetes too. In fact, I was a part of Marathi Bigg Boss for 77 days, and was called to be a part of the Hindi version of the show too for 15 days. Everything was finalised but then my son asked me not to participate in it, as one never knows from where you can get infected.”

Talking about Pavitra Rishta 2.0, the veteran actress revealed that it will be a 16 episode series. However, she went on to add that she is not sure how much the makers will be able to show in those many episodes. Well, fans are quite excited for season 2 so let’s hope for the best!
