Television star Ankita Lokhande recently lauded veteran actress Usha Nadkarni, known for her role as Savita Deshmuk in Pavitra Rishta, describing her as a “rockstar” and an inspiration. Ankita expressed her admiration for Usha after attending the event for Usha’s upcoming movie Gandhi Talks, which also features South star Vijay Sethupathi. She took to social media to express her love and respect for her former co-star, whom she regards as motherly.
Crediting Usha’s humility, honesty, and dedication to her craft, Ankita referred to her as a rockstar and an inspiration, highlighting her passion, dedication, and humility towards her art. The Pavitra Rishta actress praised Usha for her straightforward yet simple nature, expressing her love and admiration for her.
For those unfamiliar, Usha Nadkarni played Ankita’s mother-in-law in Pavitra Rishta, and the two share a beautiful offscreen bond, often spoken about by both actresses. Usha had previously shared her challenges of living alone at the age of 80, expressing fears of aging and loneliness in a vlog with Ankita.
Ankita, who portrayed Archana Karanjkar in Pavitra Rishta, assured Usha that she could reach out to her at any time and encouraged her to consider her as a daughter figure. The popular show, which aired in 2009, featured Ankita Lokhande and the late Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead roles of Archana and Maanav.
