On the show, Usha Nadkarni played the role of Savita Deshmukh, the mother of Manav. It is one of her most iconic roles. Though she hated her bahu, Archana (Ankita Lokhande) on the show, the real life bond is a beautiful one.

After his demise, Usha Nadkarni had said, "Sushant was a quiet boy. We had worked together for almost two and a half years on the show ‘Pavitra Rishta'. It was a good experience playing the role of his ‘aai' ( mother). When my hairdresser contacted me in the morning and shared the news of Sushant's demise, I could not believe it. I thought it was a hoax. My immediate reaction was Sushant aatmahatya kashi karu shakto (why would Sushant commit suicide)? But then, the news was all over and it sadly turned out to be true."
