Popular TV actress Ankita Lokhande says that she feels connected with her on screen character in 'Pavitra Rishta: It's Never Too Late'. Ankita, who has been playing Archana in the show for a long time now, feels that her role has a deep impact on her mind. As she says: "When you are creating a fictional character that everyone connects and relates to, you have to put in your best as even a single incomplete shot can affect the entire series. So to perfect my character, I have completely connected with Archana as who she is, which resulted in me switching between my reel- and real-life within seconds now."

"It is just an extremely effortless process, now that I have learnt to do it over time. Sometimes actors find it difficult to live an on-screen life due to their real-life bad days, but that's never the case with me because Archana has become a crucial part of me by now." She adds: "If someone comes and asks me halfway in my sleep to play or act like Archana, I can immediately switch to her."
