Priya Marathe in Pavitra Rishtha..

Balaji Telefilms' upcoming show on Zee TV, Pavitra Rishtha as reported earlier is the remake of a popular mega serial down South, Thirumathi Selvam.

This romantic story will have the typical flavor of middle class to lower middle class Maharashtrian families. And as reported by Telly Buzz earlier, Ankita Lokhande who was earlier seen in Zee Cinestars Ki Khoj plays the main lead, Archana.

Giving more information on the cast, our source says, "The protagonist has two sisters and a brother in the story. Priya Marathe who was earlier seen playing the role of Vidya Bali in Kasamh Se will play the parallel lead in the show. She essays the character of Varsha who is one of the sisters of the protagonist, Archana. The actress is presently doing a cameo in Burey Bhi Hum Bhale Bhi Hum".

We talked to Priya who elaborated on her character, "Varsha is well-educated when compared to Archana. She is a homely, yet working girl and is a total contrast to her sister in terms of personality. Archana on the other hand, is not educated and is not an earning member in the family".

"Archana has a brother, and this character will be played by Parag Tyagi. Swati Anand who played the role of Rashi in Kasamh Se plays his wife who will have a negative shade to portray. The youngest sister's role will be played by Prarthana who was earlier seen in Koi Aane Ko Hai. Her screen name is Vaishali. And as the promos suggest, Savitha Prabhune and Ajay Rohila play the parents", explains our source.

As the story moves on, the male lead's family will be introduced. "The male lead is yet to be finalized, but his character name will be Manav. He will have a brother and sister. The brother's role will be played by Raj Singh who was seen in Jyoti and Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat. His screen name is Sachin and he will have a grey shade to his character. Yamini who was seen in Tuj Sang Preet Lagaayi Sajna will play sister to the male lead. The actors to play parents of the boy have not been finalized yet", concludes our source.
