Speaking to ANI at the trailer launch Ankita had said, “Rarely does one do a role or a project which transforms their lives completely. Pavitra Rishta was that project for me as the love I received from the audience for Archana's character was unparalleled. So, how could I turn down the opportunity to reprise the role and continue the legacy of Archana? I am so grateful to Ekta and ZEE for reviving Pavitra Rishta and for having faith in me again. I am eager to see the audience's reaction to Archu all over again".

Shaheer Sheikh also talks about his character Manav and calls him ‘the most earnest and pure character’ that he has ever played. “It has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me - from the time I was offered the role to eventually being on set and shooting with this amazing unit. It's been a challenging role to essay, but I have given it my all. In the process of shooting the show, I realised that Manav is the most earnest and pure character I've ever played and in today's day and age, such a character is a rarity! Now I only hope that our efforts resonate with the audiences,” shared Shaheer.

Pavitra Rishta 2, is produced by Ekta Kapoor and will premiere on the OTT platform Zee 5 on September 15.
