Production
Development
The series was mainly filmed at the sets in Killick Nixon studio.[3]
The production and airing of the show was halted indefinitely in late March 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak in India.[4] Because of the outbreak, the filming of the series was halted on 19 March 2020.[5][6] After three months, the filming resumed and new episodes started airing from 13 July 2020.[7][8][9] Vaishnavi Prajapati was replaced by Riva Arora as Jugnu.[10]
On 12 July 2020, the filming of the series was halted for a few days when Parth Samthaan from Kasautii Zindagii Kay, filmed at the same studio, was tested positive for COVID-19.[11]
Cancellation and future
Post COVID-19 break, when the series resumed in July, it had a drastic ratings drop and the show was abruptly ended on 2 October 2020 midway despite having a bank of 12 episodes.[12][13] Pavitra Bhagya was scheduled to come back with season 2 post Bigg Boss 14.[14] In January 2021, Bigg Boss 14 Was extended till February 2021 which lead to the cancellation of Pavitra Bhagya 2.
Reception
The Times of India quoted that Aneri Vajani and Kunal Jaisingh's show looks promising; child actor Vaishnavi Prajapati steals the limelight and said, "Jugnu in Pavitra Bhagya stands out as a child actor. Sporting a tomboy look, Jugnu's level of naughtiness and attitude is level: Boss. With a fresh cast, the storyline of Pavitra Bhagya is also interesting and promising. However, Aneri’s Pranati is a bit over the top when it comes to showing her emotional moments. Abhishek's character Archit is also quite progressive and we can see in the upcoming episodes if his role stays the same. Kunal Jaisingh is good with the casanova image and he is justifying his role as Reyansh aka Rey."[15]
