On the work front, Shaheer Sheikh and Ankita Lokhande’s Pavitra Rishta 2 trailer released on Tuesday. The series also features Vivek Dahiya. It will premiere on Zee5 on January 28. Shaheer has earlier expressed his fears of stepping into the role. “When I was first approached for PR2, 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.
