Ankita Lokhande became a household name with the character of Archana from her popular TV show 'Pavitra Rishta.' The character gave her all the required name and fame. But as the show went off-air, Ankita was away from the silver screen for quite a long time now. It is now confirmed that the actress will soon mark her big Bollywood debut with the film 'Manikarnika- Queen of Jhansi' opposite Kangana Ranaut.
Ankita will be seen in a pivotal role of Jhalkaribai, who was considered as the right hand of Rani Laxmibai and was an integral part of her army. The actress was quoted saying as, "I'd never heard of her before, not many have, but Jhalkaribai was one of the greatest heroes of our proud history. I'm honoured that I'll be telling her story to the world, fighting alongside Kangana's Rani Laxmibai."
She took to her Instagram account where alongside an image she wrote, "No words .. #jhalkaribai #manikarnika#thankful#3rdjuly2017š."
