Ankita's
five-and-a-half
year
rishta
with
Pavitra
Rishta
has
ended.
And
the
pretty
actress
is
now
at
a
loose
end.
There
is
no
plan
to
do
another
serial
right
away.
"I've
been
so
pampered
by
Balaji
Telefilms.
Ekta
(Kapoor)
mam
has
spoilt
me.
I've
never
worked
with
any
other
television
unit,
and
I
wonder
what
it'd
be
like!"
Ankita
is
now
looking
forward
to
doing
a
film
with
Sushant.
"I
am
getting
good
offers
for
daily
soaps.
But
I'm
not
too
sure
I
want
to
do
another
soap
at
this
stage
of
my
career.
A
film
with
Sushant
would
be
ideal.
I've
asked
him
to
make
it
happen.
He
will.
He
loves
me
too
much
to
say
no
to
anything," she
said.
At
the
moment
Ankita
has
a
wish-list
of
activities
she
wants
to
take
up.
"I've
never
had
the
time
to
work
out
in
a
gym.
So
I
want
to
take
that
up
seriously.
Then
I
always
wanted
to
swim
and
play
badminton.
I'll
be
doing
that
as
well."
And
what
about
marriage
with
Sushant?
"There
is
no
immediate
plan,
though
I've
threatened
him
that
he
better
marry
me
next
year,
or
I
won't
marry
him....But
seriously,
Sushant
is
too
sweet.
He
keeps
me
really
happy.
I
am
really
lucky
to
have
him
in
my
life.
We
both
need
one
month
off
to
get
married.
He
is
too
busy
to
spare
that
kind
of
time."
Ankita
intends
to
continue
working
after
marriage.
"Of
course!
Both
Sushant
and
I
come
from
families
of
working
women.
My
mother
has
been
a
teacher
for
more
than
two
decades.
Sushant
wants
me
to
continue
working
after
marriage.
He
says
an
idle
mind
is
a
devil's
workshop," she
said.
Post
Pavitra
Rishta
Actress
Ankita
Lokhande,
who
became
a
star
post
her
stint
in
Pavitra
Rishta,
recently
shot
for
the
last
episode
of
the
daily
soap,
and
says
now
she
has
sacrificed
a
lot
for
the
show
will
go
on
a
long
break.
Long
Break
When
asked
about
her
future
plans,
Ankita
said,
"I
am
going
on
a
holiday.
I
am
going
on
a
break
till
next
year.
I
really
don't
know
what
I
am
going
to
do,
but
I
want
to
enjoy
this
phase
where
there
is
no
work.
So,
for
sure
till
next
year
I
am
not
taking
up
any
work."
Ankita
Sushant
An
interesting
show,
Pavitra
Rishta
garnered
impressive
viewership
when
it
went
on
air
in
2009
and
the
storyline
managed
to
hook
the
audience
because
of
the
content
and
lead
pair
Ankita
and
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
on-screen
chemistry.
Sushant's
Exit
But
like
any
other
Balaji
Telefilms'
show,
this
one's
storyline
too
lost
the
plot
after
many
leaps.
Also,
Sushant's
exit
in
2011
made
a
dent
in
its
popularity.
Sacrificed
A
Lot
"I
have
sacrificed
a
lot
for
this
show.
We
used
to
work
during
Diwali,
birthdays,
and
Holi,
but
I
had
a
great
time
working
with
Balaji.
It's
like
a
family.
It's
a
nostalgic
moment
that
the
show
has
come
to
an
end,"
Ankita,
who
is
dating
Sushant,
told
recently.
