Happy Birthday Ankita Lokhande!

She was supposed to start her career in the Indian television industry with Bali Umar Ko Salaam against Jay Soni. But, as destiny would have it, the serial got canned and she ended up landing the lead role in Pavitra Rishta as Archana Manav Deshmukh. The rest, as they say, is history!

Yes, we are talking about none other than the leading lady of the highly popular TV serial Pavitra Rishta, Ankita Lokhande. Ankita, who turns 28 today, has hit the jackpot with her maiden TV serial, a luck that does not embrace just about anybody. And what’s more, she has even found the love of her life in the form of her leading man in Pavitra Rishta, Sushant Singh Rajput.

So, what is it about Ankita that has worked in her favour and catapulted her to instant stardom in her maiden TV venture? Let us take a quick look at her life and find out more about the girl who portrays the ideal lady in the popular television serial Pavitra Rishta on a day when she turns a year older and wiser.

Hailing from a Marathi Patil family, she was born as Tanuja Lokhande in Indore on 19 December, 1984. She is a Sagittarian by birth and her ruling number, as per the science of numerology, is 1. Now Sagittarians by nature are far too full of energy to sit still for long, a trait that everyone on the sets of Pavitra Rishta would vouch for. Her zodiac sign also indicates towards her free spirited nature and hence it is not that easy to keep pace with them at all times.

A Sagittarian is known to be quite dashing and ambitious; someone who loves to take up new challenges and explore unknown subjects. This is another trait in Ankita that has worked quite well in her favour and helped her reach the top of the ladder sooner than the rest.

As far as her ruling number is concerned, Ankita is someone who’s born to lead from the front. Add to that her farsightedness, single-minded devotion towards work and her steely determination, and you have a winning combination at hand like no other. However, she needs to curb her emotional outbursts and tactless handling of situations if she wishes to replicate her success in her maiden TV venture.

Her relationship with Sushant Singh Rajput, her costar from Pavitra Rishta, also seems to be a mutually beneficial one. As per astrology, it’s a union of a Sagittarian woman with an Aquarian man and is highly likely to be a successful one as they both seek the reality of things and give each other ample space to grow. While the Aquarian man is mesmerized by the ambitious nature of his Sagittarius woman, it’s the newness that her man brings to her life that keeps the Sagittarian woman hooked on to her Aquarian beau.

So, the future seems pretty bright for this self-acclaimed livewire lady, both professionally and personally. And if her horoscope is anything to be believed, then Ankita’s stars are only going to get better in 2013. So, on this positive note, we wish the leading lady of Pavitra Rishta, Ankita Lokhande, a very happy and fabulous birthday!!
