Mumbai:
Actress
Ankita
Lokhande,
who
played
Archana
in
popular
Zee
TV
show
Pavitra
Rishta,
is
returning
to
the
show.
Her
co-stars
in
the
show
Hiten
Tejwani
and
Usha
Nadkarni,
who
play
her
husband
and
mother-in-law,
respectively,
are
happy
about
it.
Ankita
had
reportedly
left
the
show
midway
when
she
was
asked
to
play
grandmother
in
it,
but
she
was
not
comfortable
with
it.
There
was
also
news
that
actress
Gautami
Kapoor
was
going
to
replace
her
as
Archana,
but
now
Ankita
is
back
for
good.
When
asked
what
would
have
been
his
reaction
had
some
new
'Archana'
joined
the
show,
Hiten
said,
"Whenever
a
new
artist
comes,
it
takes
him
and
others
a
bit
of
time
to
adjust,
to
set
his
chemistry
right
with
everyone,
to
know
what
is
his
nature,
how
he
behaves."
"So,
definitely
it
takes
a
bit
of
time
to
adjust
but
at
the
end
everything
sets
well," added
Hiten
here
on
the
set
of
the
show.
Veteran
actress
Usha
was
nonchalant
about
it
and
said,
"I
don't
care
about
it.
I
do
my
work
sincerely
and
play
my
character
sincerely.
It
does
not
matter
who
is
there
in
front
of
me
(who
is
working
with
me),
I
do
my
work
with
sincerity."
