Before beginning the celebration, the Manikarnika actor spilt some interesting anecdotes including how the first episode of the ZEE TV show was first telecast at 4 AM on June 1. As her session progressed further, Lokhande talked about her late co-star Sushant Singh Rajput. She said in Hindi, "Sushant is no longer with us and without him, Pavitra Rishta is definitely incomplete. Archana ka Maanav sirf wahi tha (He was the only Maanav to Archana) and without him, everything is incomplete". Trying to not shed a tear she then added, "But, I am sure wherever he is, he is watching us and he's happy, where ever he is".
The Baaghi 3 actor went on to say that Sushant always taught her acting. "I wasn't an actor. He was the one who used to teach me what is acting. Because I was a junior, he was a senior. He always taught me. He was a brilliant actor, brilliant co-star and I was very fortunate to work with him," she added.
The 36-year-old actor also recalled working with Hiten Tejwani, Usha Nadkarni and Savita Prabhune. She named her crew members and virtually gave them a token of her respect. Before ending her live session, Ankita cut the cake. Later, she shared the eleven-minutes-twenty-seven-seconds long live session on her media feed.
