Pavitra
Rishta
2.0
has
been
hitting
the
headlines
ever
since
it
was
announced.
Recently,
the
makers
revealed
the
looks
of
the
actors
and
confirmed
that
Shaheer
Sheikh
will
be
taking
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
legacy
as
Manav
forward.
While
many
of
them
were
happy
with
the
show's
announcement,
Sushant's
ardent
fans
were
upset
and
trolled
Ekta
Kapoor,
Ankita
Lokhande
and
Shaheer
Sheikh
and
trended
#BoycottPavitraRishta2.
Now,
Shaheer
took
to
social
media
to
share
heartfelt
post,
which
was
especially
for
late
actor's
fans
who
are
upset
with
him
stepping
into
Sushant's
shoes.
Shaheer
penned
a
lengthy
post
and
revealed
why
she
took
up
the
role.
He
mentioned
that
initially
he
was
reluctant
to
take
up
the
role
of
Manav
as
no
one
would
dare
to
play
the
character
immortalised
by
SSR.
He
further
revealed
that
he
took
up
the
role,
imagining
what
SSR
would
do
if
he
was
in
his
position.
The
Kuch
Rang
Pyaar
Ke
Aise
Bhi
actor
wrote,
"When
I
was
first
approached
for
Pavitra
Rishta,
I
was
taken
aback.
Who
in
their
right
frame
of
mind,
would
dare
to
play
a
character
immortalised
by
Sushant
Singh
Rajput...
I
too
was
reluctant.
Then
I
thought,
knowing
Sushant
he
was
one
to
take
every
challenge
head
on.
And
so
I
decided
that
while
it
is
scary
to
step
into
his
shoes
&
live
upto
audience
expectations...
it
is
scarier
to
NOT
even
try.
And
so
I
did
what
I
felt
he
would
do,
if
he
was
in
my
position.
I
took
the
challenge.
When
the
team
told
me
they
wanted
someone
who
was
earnest
so
that
we
could
all
tell
a
story
that
was
a
fitting
homage
to
Sushant's
legacy...
I
decided
to
give
it
my
all
and
leave
the
rest
to
the
audiences
and
to
The
All
Mighty."
The
actor
further
said
that
Sushant
will
always
be
Manav,
nothing
can
change
and
no
one
can
replace
Manav.
He
further
wrote,
"Working
with
a
team
that
loved
&
respected
him
immensely
only
adds
to
the
genuine
intent
in
all
our
hearts.
Sushant,
you
will
always
be
Manav.
Nothing
can
change
that
&
no
one
can
replace
that.
I
may
not
be
as
good,
and
I
may
not
do
justice
to
it
like
you
did,
but
I
promise
to
give
it
my
ALL.
🙏
#pavitrarishta2."
