Ankita Lokhande reminisces about her Pavitra Rishta shoot diaries
In an interview, Ankita Lokhande candidly discussed her initial days in the industry. The actress shared how she traveled to Mumbai from Indore. Explaining about her first day on Pavitra Rishta sets, Ankita stated that the other artists were experienced, whether her onscreen mother or mother-in-law.
The Manikarnika actress expressed, "I remember that my first line was 'Aai tu shaant ho jaa.' I was so scared that when my turn would come, and I was just waiting because I was zero." She added, "Acting is such a thing that the more you experience things practically, the more you grow. I have learned only by watching other people on the sets."
Divulging further, Ankita shared, "Ek time aisa aaya ki sirf main bolti thi aur sab chup rehte the kyunki mere dialogues hote the (There was a time when only I spoke and everyone remained silent because there were my dialogues). And I'm grateful ki meko pehle se hi ek dum dialogues nahi aaye, mera goonga hi kam tha. Acha tha jo ki aankhon se baat karna tha, rona dhona tha (that I haven't had any dialogues since the beginning, and I had less to speak. I just had to talk with eyes and cry)."
Continuing the conversation, Ankita Lokhande said that she had time to reach a certain point. The Bigg Boss 17 third runner-up added that, as a newcomer, one feels scared that someone may mock you. She explained, "Jab Pavitra itne saalon tak chal paaya na, sach mein main sab ko le ke baithti thi ki chalo hum rehearsal karte hain. Kyunki agar ek ka scene bhi acha jaayega na toh humara hi show aage badh raha hai (When Pavitra was able to run for so long, I actually told everyone that let's rehearse. If even one scene is liked, then our show is only going ahead)."
Ankita Lokhande stayed longer than her work hours
Further in the interview, the Pavitra Rishta actress shared that she used to stay beyond her shift hours during those times. She stated, "Meri 8 ghante ki shift hoti thi. Main uske upar bhi rukti thi ki main dialogue deti hun aur cue dene ke liye. Kyun ki mera cue dean aur koi assistant dega, toh unn dono mein bahut farq hoga. (I had a shift of 8 hours. I used to stay even after that to give dialogue and to give cues. If I give a cue and an assistant is giving the same, there will be a lot of difference)."
