"If you can't save Purvi, then I will beat up the goons who kidnapped her" Says 6 year old India's Best Dramebaaz contestant to Pavitra Rishta star Rithvik Dhanjani.
You know that your fan following has reached a fever pitch when you have 6 year olds who avidly follow your show. Rithvik Dhanjani is certainly one such lucky actor who has gained a huge fan following for his pairing opposite actress Asha Negi as Arjun and Purvi in Zee TV's popular
Pavitra Rishta!
While Rithvik was hosting the audition episode of India's Best
Dramebaaz, li'l Heet from Bangalore, on recognizing Rithvik, started
complaining to him about his character Arjun's habits. Heet, who is an
ardent follower of the show and a huge supporter of the Arjun-Purvi
relationship started scolding Rithvik for not being able to save Purvi
from the goons who kidnapped her on the show.
"Whenever Heet
sees me, he always jumps on to my lap and scolds me for not saving Purvi
in the episode where she was kidnapped. He says, 'agar tum mere Purvi
didi ko nahi bacha sakte toh mujhe le chalo aapke saath, main unko
maarta hoon!' It is really humbling that even kids of such a young age
appreciate the character I play and feel so closely connected to the
show. Considering how much he loves his Purvi didi, I am going to make
it a point to get him to meet Asha (who plays the role of Purvi) on the
sets of
Pavitra Rishta. It will be priceless to see the expression on his face when he meets her!" says Rithvik talking about the experience.
