The actor, on several occasions, got candid on Instagram about returning to the show. In her recent Instagram post, she penned a heartfelt note to her character Archana. She wrote, ''Dear Archu, it’s been 12 years that we have been together.it’s been a very emotional journey with lots of ups and downs in both of our lifes but we stood stronger than ever…what I hv learnt from you is patience and always believe in giving love no matter what life shows. I remember the day when I met u for the first time .U were nervous but confident too.. and must say u look the same. From that day till now many things have changed but my love for archu is still the same because I really do have a Pavitra rishta with her and with all of you who has loved Archana.''
