Archana and Manav to re-unite soon
Destiny tore them apart but their love for each other survived the separation. The inevitable is going to happen on Pavitra Rishta as Archana (Ankita Lokhande and Manav (Sushant Singh Rajput) are soon going to re-unite on the show. Manav's mother who wasn't very happy with the alliance had successfully separated the two lovebirds but now things will look up for the much-in-love couple. Manav who has now become a garage owner will win Archana back and helping him in this will be Archana's sister Varsha.
Says a source, "Archana's mother always had problems with Manav, his job and status in the society. But after his rags-to-riches story, she would readily agree to send her daughter off to Manav. It will be left to Varsha to make it happen. Manav had earlier helped Varsha by revealing the marital status of her boss and helped her to reunite with her estranged mother. For all that he has done for her Varsha holds him in high regard and will now help the couple."
However, Sushant Singh Rajput said, "I wouldn't know about the upcoming track." But it's good news nevertheless for all those who were grieving the couple's separation.
