==Reception==
==Reception==

In late 2018 and later in 2020, after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, who starred in this series, it was rebroadcast on Zee TV. After this rerun received good ratings, they decided to bring a new series. A series titled Pavitra Rishta – It's Never too Late aired on ZEE5 from 15 September 2021 starring Ankita Lokhande reprising her role as Archana and Shaheer Sheikh as Manav.[5]

Plot[edit | edit source]

Homely and hard-working Archana Karanjkar marries Manav Deshmukh, a mere mechanic. They gradually come to support and fall in love with each other, despite their respective families being at loggerheads, as Manav’s mother, Savita, lied to Archana’s mother about his profession. Manav's brother Sachin dies in an accident while his fiancée, Shravani, is pregnant, and Manav is asked to take Shravani's responsibility. Archana and Manav divorce for the future of Shravani's unborn child, and Archana leaves Mumbai to complete her higher education.

Archana is now educated and returns to Mumbai, while Manav is raising Shravani's son, who is named after Sachin. Eventually, Archana-Manav reunite and Shravani leaves abroad, giving Jr. Sachin to them. Archana has a miscarriage and Manav determines himself to become successful. He meets a rich businessman, Digvijay Kirloskar, and starts working with him.

Manav is now a rich business tycoon. Manav and Archana now have a son, Soham, who is specially liked by Archana's childless sister, Varsha. Later, Archana delivers twin daughters, Ovi and Tejaswini. Varsha abducts Soham and they're presumed dead. Archana gets blamed for the loss of Soham as she had previously ignored Manav's warning to keep Soham away from Varsha.

Manav decides to move to Canada with his family to further his business. He sends flight tickets to Archana through Savita, who doesn't tell her anything about the tickets and misinforms Archana that Manav wants divorce. Later, Savita signs on the divorce papers on Archana's behalf and lies to Manav that Archana wants divorce. Thus, Manav moves abroad without Archana, who is left shattered and later adopts an orphaned baby girl, Purvi. Archana’s other sister, Vaishali leaves her husband, Dharmesh due to his abusive behavior on herself and her children.

Manav returns to India with his family to finalize their divorce, and is ordered a six-month courtship together with Archana. Varsha and Soham are revealed to be alive as goons "Jhumri" and "Vishnu Lala" in Bihar. Ovi's marriage is fixed with Digvijay's son, Arjun, while he is in love with Purvi. He soon reveals his love for Purvi and breaks his alliance with Ovi, leaving her shattered. Ovi tells Purvi that if she lets her marry Arjun instead, then she will stop Manav from divorcing Archana. For Archana's happiness, Purvi begs Arjun to marry Ovi and thus, Arjun-Ovi get married. Tejaswini and Manav’s father, Damodar expose Savita's conspiracy, uniting Archana and Manav. The couple learn about Soham but he refuses to accept them as his parents. Archana’s niece, Punni, creates a rift between Ovi and Purvi, making Ovi believe that Arjun and Purvi are having an extra-marital affair. To save Ovi-Arjun's marriage life, Purvi shifts to Kolkata.

Six months later, Purvi, who is pregnant, is married to Dr. Onir, a gynecologist. Ovi is also pregnant having complications. Onir and Purvi return Mumbai to treat Ovi. Soham eventually accepts both Manav and Archana as his parents. It is revealed that Purvi actually got pregnant with Arjun's child when they accidentally made love while taking shelter in a cabin. Ovi loses her son while Purvi delivers a daughter. She replaces her daughter with Ovi's child with Onir's help. Arjun and Purvi's daughter is named Pari. Soon, Ovi-Arjun and Onir-Purvi divorce. Manav and Archana decide to get Arjun and Purvi married so that Pari gets her full family. Arjun and Purvi get married. Ovi moves to Canada and finds out that she's pregnant again with Arjun's child.

Tejaswini falls in love with Snehlata's son, Sunny, who also falls in love with Punni's sister, Ruchita. But they have to break up as Savita and Snehlata are rivals. Soham falls in love with Dr. Gauri but her alliance gets fixed with Jr. Sachin. He kidnaps Gauri and tries to forcefully marry her in the temple. Gauri gets accidentally shot by Soham and falls into a river with him. Arjun meets Ovi in Canada and is shocked on learning about his and Ovi's daughter, Pia. Purvi misunderstands that Arjun has cheated on her with Ovi. She shifts to Canada with Pari and the entire family while Ovi moves to Australia with Pia.

Purvi returns to Mumbai and realizes that Arjun never cheated on her with Ovi. Arjun is revealed to have brain tumor, so he and Purvi move to Australia for treatment. Pia helps Ovi to unite with her parents and family. Soham, revealed to be alive, has changed his name to Raghav Mhatre, and lives with his five children who are struggling financially due to his alcoholism. His eldest daughter, Ankita, resembles Archana and is the sole earner of the family. She meets Naren Karmarkar, a mentally challenged businessman grieving the loss of his lover, Ahaana.

Soon, Naren starts assuming Ankita as Ahaana. Ankita is compelled to marry Naren at the behest of his mother, Rushali, who agrees to offer her money and support her siblings financially. Gradually, Ankita falls in love with Naren, who recovers, and they consummate their marriage, leaving Ankita pregnant. Pari reluctantly agrees to marry Shekhar after the disappearance of her lover, Aman. On Shekhar and Pari's wedding day, Naren discovers that Pari is Ahaana and she discovers that Naren is Aman. It is revealed that Naren and Pari met each other in London where they exchanged fake names and fell in love but unfortunately a car accident separated them. Soham meets his family but still holds a grudge against them. Naren forgets his memories with Ankita and reconciles with Pari.

Rushali lies to everyone that Ankita had a contract marriage with Naren which was valid only until Naren's recovery. Ankita decides to sacrifice her love for Naren's happiness and conceals her pregnancy. Despite Soham's pleas, Naren and Pari marry. For Naren and Pari's happy married life, Ankita leaves Mumbai. Soon, Pari gets pregnant but miscarries and is declared infertile. Ankita gives birth to Naren's child but it is declared stillborn by the doctors. Naren and Pari adopt a baby girl and name her as Ashi.

Ankita returns to Mumbai and Manav makes her the managing director of his company. Pari starts getting jealous of Ankita and plans her murder. Naren and Ankita learn that Ashi is their biological daughter. It is revealed that Rushali had stolen Arushi from Ankita and bribed the doctors to misinform her that her child was stillborn. Naren learns about Pari's evil schemes, divorces her, and reunites with Ankita. Pari realizes their true love. She is reunited with Purvi and Arjun, who return to Mumbai, and accepts Arjun as her father. Soham overcomes his grudge and finally reconciles with Manav and Archana.

Ankita and Naren remarry. Manav-Archana, Arjun-Purvi, and Ankita-Naren together commemorate their "Pavitra Rishta" (sacred relationship). Manav meets with a fatal accident and Archana dies of grief. Their family mourns their death. Their souls are shown to be in heaven together, expressing their undying love for each other.

Production[edit | edit source]

Casting[edit | edit source]

Sushant Singh Rajput who was playing the parallel lead in Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil of StarPlus was cast as Manav. Zee TV did not accept him for casting as Manav as he was a parallel lead of the show in their rival channel. But Producer Ekta Kapoor convinced the channel to accept him.[6] In November 2011 Rajput quit the series and was replaced by Hiten Tejwani.[7] However, during the final of the series on 25 October 2014, Tejwani paved way for Rajput who appeared in the final episode as Manav.[8][9]

Schedule[edit | edit source]

The show's time slot was changed from 21:00 to 18:30 on 15 April 2014 and the 21:00 slot was taken by Kumkum Bhagya, also produced by Ekta Kapoor.[10]

Reception[edit | edit source]

Around late 2008, producer Ekta Kapoor and her production house Balaji Telefilms declined when the ratings and popularity of all her hit soaps of the 2000s decreased and were axed and also when newly launched ones performed poorly. Since then most channels did not accept her to work. It was due to the chance given by Zee TV for this series, the career of Kapoor and her production house was revived when it became one of the top-rated Hindi television programs.[11][12]

Accolades[edit | edit source]

Pavitra Rishta received several awards and nominations. Lokhande and Rajput received multiple awards for their roles Archana and Manav in the Best Actress and Best Actor categories, as has Nadkarni in the Best Negative Actress category and Ekta Kapoor in the Best Serial category.
