Twice Upon a Time

Producer Ekta Kapoor has pushed the ‘fast forward’ button on Zee TV’s Pavitra Rishta,taking the story 20 years ahead in time. On December 12,the audience will be transported to a time when Manav is in Canada and Archana’s still in Mumbai,living separately for 20 years,ever since Archana filed a court case against Manav over the demolition of their chawl. So,in a fit of rage,Manav takes his mother and twins,Ovi and Tejaswini,along with their first son (from his brother) Sachin and moves to Canada,while Archana moves in with her parents and adopts a girl called Poorvi. Kapoor says,“The viewers should prepare themselves for some very exciting developments. While I don’t wish to reveal too much about the upcoming plot,I must say we have roped in some promising actors to play the parts of Manav and Archana’s children,who are now young adults. The way in which their paths intersect and the ripple effects of the same on the Manav-Archana relationship will make for a compelling viewing.”
