Sushant-Ankita go RED in the face as AKSHAY KUMAR questions their "Pavitra" Rishta

At the recent Zee Rishtey Awards 2010, actors Sushant Rajput and Ankita Lokhande, who play the star-crossed lovers Manav and Archana in Zee TV’s Pavitra Rishta, bagged the special ‘Tees Maar Khan Favorite Jodi’ award. Much to their delight, they received this award by none other everybody’s favorite Khiladi who’s turned a Tees Maar Khan these days, Akshay Kumar! Known for his mischievous streak, Akshay could not help but notice the way duo sat when they returned to their seats after collecting the award. Apparently, the two walked back to their couch in the audience hand in hand and sat practically glued to each other, Ankita almost on Sushant’s lap, beaming away into each other’s eyes. Not about to pass up a good chance to pull their leg, Akshay quipped, “Guys, please make some more room for the two to sit comfortably… the two need to maintain their ‘Pavitra’ Rishta … the way I see it right now, the rishta looks anything but Pavitra”. While the audience was in splits, Sushant & Ankita who still try convincing everybody that they’re just “good friends” had nowhere to look!
