Fast forward by 4 years - Pavitra Rishta goes in for a Big Leap

Ardent fans of Zee TV's top show Pavitra Rishta, watch out for a big time leap on your favorite soap! Producer Ekta Kapoor has taken the remote control out of your hands and pressed the 'fast forward' button, taking the touching story of India's darlings Manav and Archana ahead by a whopping 4 years from Thursday 23 June.

The ideal Indian lovers are now the proud parents of a tiny tot, and Manav has had a change of fortune - the very family that rescued him after his car accident observes him to be an honest, upright man and appoints him as a senior official in their construction business. Manav, once a mechanic, now takes home a pay-check of over a lakh a month. The progress and success of the Deshmukh family comes as a ray of hope to millions of fans across India who identify with and vicariously lead the lives of Manav-Archana.

But then again, life wasn't meant to be that simple for this beautiful couple. With Archana's sister Varsha unable to conceive, Manav and Archana will be seen to have made the ultimate sacrifice of giving their own child in adoption to Varsha and Satish.

On the other hand, following the death of Manav's younger brother Sachin, Manav and Archana will take on the responsibility of parenting his son. Archana will barely get any time with Manav as he gets into a rather hectic phase at work. But for the star-crossed lovers, even the ten minutes they spend at the end of each day are sufficient to keep them going. Wicked Manjusha continues to scheme and plot in order to drive her mother-in-law Sulochana out of the house. Not much has changed with Savita Tai either, who continues to be thirsty for material possessions. A surprise for the viewers will be the re-union of Vaishali and Dharmesh, who will be seen staying happily together despite having been shown to have opted for a divorce pre-leap.

To find out what lies in store for Manav and Archana, stay tuned to Pavitra Rishta every Monday to Friday at 9pm on Zee TV.
