"When I was first approached for Pavitra Rishta 2, I was taken aback," wrote Shaheer Sheikh
Actor Shaheer Sheikh is the new face of Manav Deshmukh, a role which was "immortalised" by Sushant Singh Rajput in popular TV show Pavitra Rishta. Shaheer Sheikh, who stars in the recently announced Pavitra Rishta 2, poured his heart out in a post, in which he wrote about what made him accept the role of Manav. "When I was first approached for Pavitra Rishta 2, I was taken aback. Who in their right frame of mind, would dare to play a character immortalised by Sushant Singh Rajput. I too was reluctant," read an excerpt from Shaheer's post, which is actually a tribute to actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who died in June last year. In his post, Shaheer Sheikh added: "Then I thought, knowing Sushant he was one to take every challenge head on. And so I decided that while it is scary to step into his shoes and live up to audience expectations... it is scarier to not even try. And so I did what I felt he would do, if he was in my position. I took the challenge. When the team told me they wanted someone who was earnest so that we could all tell a story that was a fitting homage to Sushant's legacy... I decided to give it my all and leave the rest to the audiences and to The All Mighty." Dedicating a message to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Shaheer Sheikh added: "Working with a team that loved and respected him immensely only adds to the genuine intent in all our hearts. Sushant, you will always be Manav. Nothing can change that and no one can replace that. I may not be as good, and I may not do justice to it like you did, but I promise to give it my all."
