A few days before the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, its first producer Ekta Kapoor revealed that a creative Zee TV executive didn’t think the actor was the perfect fit for Manav’s character on the popular TV show Pavitra Rishta. However, she convinced the channel’s creative director that Sushant would be the right fit for Manav’s character and that “her smile would win a million hearts.” In her post she wrote: “After being 35 of the 50 slots, we were in the top 50! This show was a chance Zee TV gave us based on a show Thirumathi Selvam (a Tamil TV soap opera). I wanted to cast a boy as the lead who was doing the second lead role on our other show! Zee’s creator was adamant he didn’t look at all! We convinced them her smile would win a million hearts and it does. “
