These days 'leap' is like just another thing happening on television, or in other words it's a mid way for a new beginning in the serial to keep the audience glued. And this is the same scenario in Zee TV's popular show Pavitra Rishta.

As we know, the divorce track of Manav (Sushant Singh Rajput) and Archana (Ankita Lokhande) has not worked in favour of the show, and the ratings have taken a dip of late.

To salvage some pride, the makers have introduced a new character which is played by noted actor Mahesh Shetty. The actor was introduced in yesterday's episode, and he is the Supervisor in the company where Manav works. He happens to be the boss of Manav, while Archana is his boss.

A little birdie tells us, "This is a sort of secretive character personally introduced by Ekta Kapoor. Jayvant Rana will be shown as a street smart guy who is looking for opportunities to get richer. He will be shown to be a grey shaded character".

When contacted, Mahesh Shetty asserted, "Yes, I'm enacting the role of a manager who has high aspirations from life and has a little grey shade too. In a way I'm the middle man between the main leads because Archana is my boss and I'm Manav's boss; so as of now it's a strong character. Mine is a very important character in this particular track and Ekta has given this huge responsibility to me (smiles)".

Our khabroo states, "As the story unfolds, this guy will create some professional problems for Archana, and apparently Manav will try his level best to shield Archana from the problems she encounters".

We now wonder whether Mahesh's character will turn out to be a catalyst for the union of Manav and Archana!!

Well, let's wait and watch!!


Mahesh Shetty played a negative role in Kis Desh Hai Mera Dil. Currently he is playing Shlok, again negative in Sahara One''s Ghar Ek Sapna.
