Balika Vadhu, Set in rural Rajasthan, narrates the story of a child bride Anandi. Having been married at the tender age of eight, to an equally young Jagdish, she enters a new world which is at once alienating and confusing. Torn away from the merriment of childhood, and her family, she has to accept and accustom herself to this new family of strangers, new relationships and accept her roles as friend, lover, wife, and mother as she forges her way in matrimony. This very unique show is produced by Sphere Origins. The star cast includes Avika Gor as Anandi and Avinash Mukherjee as Jagdish. The show will be aired every Monday to Friday at 8 PM.

She mostly comes across as a heartless woman who is very selfish when it comes to her sons especially the elder one. But somewhere deep inside the rigid, cold, cruel exterior lies a heart that may be melted if tried hard enough (so far achieved only by Anandi). She is bound to traditions and often overlooks the human aspect of any situation in order to uphold the pride of her family. She represents everything that is of yester-years in this show. It is the mind-set of people like Dadisa that this show is trying to change.

Anup Soni Role:Bhairon Dharamveer Singh
He is Jagdish's father and Daadisa's second son. He is a sensible man who judges right from wrong correctly but often feels helpless in front of his mother's stubbornness.

He supports his wife and loves his daughter-in-law Anandi as his own child. Though he got his children married at a young age, he along with his wife, have decided not to let them live a married life until they understand the implications of being married and are ready to accept the responsibilities that come along with it.

She might as well be the strength that holds the family together. She understands her husband's dilemma but also guides him in doing what is morally right. She is very determined to not let her daughter and daughter-in-law endure the injustices of child-marriage and tries her best to give them the same opportunities that her son enjoys.

But she is a very supportive sister to Jagdish and a friend to Anandi. She often speaks against the injustice dealt by Dadisa but is quieted by her mother.

Satyajit Sharma Role:Basant Mahavir Singh

He got married again to a girl old enough to be his daughter and now continues his attempts in having an heir. He often accuses his younger brother of being jealous and not wanting his happiness.

Story

The show is set in rural India and portrays, among other prevailing social ills, the practice of child marriage. It features Anandi (Avika Gor), married at age 10 to Jagdish (Avinash Mukherjee), the only grandson of Kalyani Devi. Kalyani Devi is a strict conservative matriarch of a traditional Rajasthani family. She is very stubborn and has firm beliefs and believes that all wives trick their husbands and persuade them to do whatever the wives want, and she treats her two daughter in-laws and grand-daugghter in law very tyrannically. She has two sons, Bhairon (Anup Soni) and Basant (Satyajit Sharma). Basant, the elder son, is a widower. Gehna (Neha Marda), daughter of parents heavily in debt to Kalyani Devi, is forcibly married to him. Initially, there are many differences between the couple due to the age gap and incompatibility but they have a son named Nandu.



Bhairon, the second son, is married to Sumitra (Smita Bansal) and has two children, Jagdish and Suguna (Vibha Anand). Suguna, also a child bride, loses her husband Pratap (Jehangir Vakil) and is made to follow the hard life of a widow at the age of 16. She later marries Shyam (Vikrant Massey) in the face of much social opposition. Suguna's in-laws, Radha (Asmita Sharma) and Madan Singh (Amar Sharma) initially do not accept her but later realise their mistake. Anandi's parents, Bhagwati (Bhairavi Raichura) and Khajan Singh (Chetanya Adib) earn their living by farming. However, they often face problems but are always helped by Bhairon. Mahavir Singh (Rajendra Gupta) is Kalyani's elder brother-in-law who harbours a grudge against her and tries making life hell for her family. However, he later realises his mistake and goes to jail as a punishment. He is actually Basant's real father but Kalyani raised him at her dead sister-in-law's asking. Teepri (Sakshi Tanwar) is a childhood friend of Bhairon and Basant.



She is madly in love with Bhairon and tries to break the entire family. However, it is revealed that Teepri has a mental problem and she is taken away to be treated. The show thus tries to throw light on social malice like child marriage and the ostracising of widows prevalent in rural areas through the various travails of its characters. Anandi and Jagdish got separated when Anandi turned 13. Anandi went to her village and stayed with Bhagwati as her father, Khajan Singh was sent to jail for selling fake ghee and rice. He realised his mistake and wanted to repent for his crimes.




On July 22, 2010 the show took a five-year leap. Anandi and Jagdish are grown-up and are replaced by new actors. Bhagwati is re-united with Khajan Singh, now a good man. Anandi returns to Jagdish's house but she will have to face Kalyani who has become more tyrannical than ever. There are also problems between Basant and Gehna. Gehna rebels against Kalyani's wrongdoings and gets punished by her because of this. Shyam's uncle, Ramacharan purposely injures Suguna's son Varun and he is unable to walk. However, he gets exposed and is thrown out of his haveli by Madan Singh, his younger brother. Mahavir Singh, now a reformed man returns to Kalyani's haveli. Jagdish decides to become a doctor. Kalyani disapproves of his decision and forces him not to go. However, Anandi helps him escape. This infuriates Kalyani who declares that there is no relationship between her and Anandi much to everyone's shock. Jagdish faces ragging as a serious problem in his new college. He must fight his seniors with the help of Gauri (Anjum Farookhi)- a new friend of his at college. They become increasingly close. Meanwhile, Anandi's best friend Phoolie (Mamta Chaturya) has become extremely lonely. She was widowed at a very young age and is therefore ostricised. She craves for a life partner which leads her to write love letters to herself. The villagers believe that she is disgracing them by dating a boy and she is told never to leave her house again. Kalyani forbids Anandi to ever meet her again. Anandi agrees to these terms though she does not believe that Phoolie can do such a thing. Because of how clever Gauri is, Jagdish kills Anandi because she left her studies at a young age and therefore is very ignorant. This hurts Anandi a lot. Anandi meets her former teacher Sandhya (Sadiya Siddique) who is saddened by how Anandi gave up her studies. She tells Anandi that she has realised that child marriage is a sin and that she is trying her best to stop it. Sandhya tells Anandi that she wanted her help but realises that Anandi is too weak. Anandi begins to realise her mistake. Now, she saves her friend Gulli from what she had to got through which made her what she is now. She also proves that Phoolie is innocent.



Sandhya is extremely proud of Anandi. Anandi continues working for the betterment of society. Meanwhile, Jagdish and Gauri keep getting closer to each other. This soon turns into passionate love. Anandi discovers this on a trip to Mumbai, where Jagdish tells her that they both live in two different worlds and greatly insults her. He also introduces her as a distant relative to his friends. Anandi decides that she is going to resume her studies which she had given up due to Kalyani's disapproval. Her decision is supported by Bhairon and Sandhya. However, once more, Anandi will have to face Kalyani as an obstacle to reach her goal. Anandi exposes how Jagdish pretends that he is from a rich family in Jaipur, and that his status is single. Everyone is heartbroken, but they forgive him.


The story progresses four years ahead. The distance between Jagdish and Anandi has increased. He is now madly in love with Gauri, who is actually the girl whom he was nearly married to by Kalyani. Jagdish and Gauri become doctors. He comes to Jetsar for a visit, where everyone discovers how he has forgotten his values and respect for elders. He wants to settle down in Mumbai, far away from his family. This deeply upsets Bhairon, and Kalyani. He also insults Shyam, who tries to persuade him to stay back.



This prompts Suguna to slap him. Even though Gehna and Basant reprimand him for being rude to Shyam, he remains indifferent. He then heads to Jaipur, where he plans to meet Gauri and head to Mumbai for his higher studies. Meanwhile, Bhagwati and Khajan Singh come to know of Jagdish's intentions. Bhagwati says that it is Anandi's duty to accompany Jagdish to Mumbai, and stay with him. However, Anandi says that she does not want to go to Mumbai with Jagdish, and is happy where she is with her family. The elders eventually convince Anandi and tell Jagdish that Anandi is coming to Mumbai to stay with him. While she is packing, Jagdish calls and tells her that he doesn't love her. Anandi becomes ill after hearing this and it is revealed that the stress had given her ulcer. Bhairon goes to Mumbai to confront Jagdish, where he learns about Gauri and everything else Jagdish has been up to and is shocked and says that Jagdish is dead to him. When he returns home, he thrashes Jagdish's office in the hospital and tell everyone the truth and that from today onwards, Jagdish is dead to them. Anandi is speechless and almost zombie-like. Sumitra decides to go and meet Jagdish but fails in pursuing him to come with her. Jagdish starts worrying about his mother and thinks that he has indeed done a mistake but refuses to say sorry. Anandi decides to give herself a recognition by studying further. Kalyani and all other family members have stepped in their shoes to help her in studying for medical entrance examination.


Meanwhile, Gauri goes to meet Jagat's family and finds out all the truth about who he is and about Anandi. She also remembers that he was the one she got married to in childhood. She refuses to speak to Jagat and when Jagat finds and meets Gauri in person she tells the truth about her and their past. Jagat is shocked and after sitting outside Gauri's house in rain for her forgiveness, going to the hospital, telling Gauri he loves her very much, saying his and Anandi's marriage is illegal, and convincing Gauri's parents, Gauri and Jagat get married. Now, Gauri wants to meet her in-laws and get their blessings so they both go to Jagadish's house. There Jagadish says that although everyone has broken all ties with him he still believes that Kalyani loves him. But Kalyani also says that he made a very big mistake and says that he is not of her house. Jagadish then tells everyone the truth that Gauri is Gudiya and says that he only corrected a mistake that was done by his grandmother. Kalyani refuses to accept it but Gauri reminds her of everything and Kalyani is heartbroken. Hearing all this, she is heartbroken that she herself is the cause for all this.


Kalyani falls sick and loses her consciousness just when Anandi decides to leave the house. With that everybody's attention turns to Kalyani. Jagya and Guari, being doctors, work very hard to get Kalyani's consciousness back. In the meantime, the entire family mistreats Gauri and refuses to accept her. After Kalyani gets better, she has a plan and starts accepting her. Jagya and Gauri break into fight but come together again. Once, they were having a romantic moment after a fight and now all they people who are the hawali's neighbors see them and complain not knowing about jagya's remarriage... Later on Gauri reveals them the truth and insults Anandi for being too good to her. Sumitra goes to Gauri and tells her that because of Anandi Jagdish is living. She tells her eveything about the bullet and so on... Basant shouts on Jagiya for selling the only last thing of their father i.e. Kalyani's husband. Kalyani is heartbroken and does not supports Jagiya any more. Bhagwati and Khajan come and yell at Jagya for being so deceitful. Bhagwati wants to take Anandi back with them but Anandi refuses and says that they are now 'paraya'. This hurts Bhagwati a lot.



Later, Anandi and Bhagwati make up while talking on the phone. When Jagdish and Gauri are leaving, Gauri again mentally tortures Anandi which is overheard by Bhairon.Bhairon then tells the truth to the whole family that if husband and wife live with each other after 18 year of age for two years their marriage will thus not be called illegal. This proves that marriage of Jagdish and Gauri is illegal. After hearing so many thing and the truth Gauri tells Jagdish that she can't live with him but he persuades her to.



Meanwhile, Bhagwati and Khajan go to meet Sandhya, Anandi's teacher to apologize for not listening to her advice of not marrying Anandi at the age of 8. They beg her to give Anandi a new life. Sandhya tells Bhagwat and Khjan that she cannot make Anandi forget all the torture she has gone through, but she can give her a new lease of life. Sandhya then goes to meet Anandi who is overjoyed. Anandi says that she does not want to be a doctor, but wants to serve people as a teacher. So Anandi starts her class. At first nobody joins but then later many participate.

Anandi aka Avika Gor is back to her sasuraal, in COLORS' Balika Vadhu..


Anandi aka Avika Gor is finally back into her sasuraal in COLORS' Balika Vadhu, and the person who has made the impossible possible is Bhairav (Anoop Soni), Anandi's father-in-law.

According to our source, "Anandi's father-in-law will finally convince Dadisa to get Anandi back home. But the manner in which the entire drama unfolds will be interesting to watch. On the auspicious day of Diwali, Anandi gets back.

Though all are happy with Anandi getting back, more sparks are sure to surface as the track goes on. "There is a temporary phase of joy in the family as soon after this, Anandi will be pushed deeper into problems", our source adds.

We called Anoop Soni to know more on the track, but he seemed clueless. "I only know that Anandi's father-in-law has just gotten back, and has got to know that she is not staying in the house. I do not know how the track is going to proceed".

Well, for the time being, it is Diwali time for Anandi at her sasuraal…

Anoop Soni had to be rushed to the hospital just before the shoot of Teen Ka Tadka, but returned to give an amazing performance along with his team mates..


Anoop Soni who provides a very yummy 'Tadka' to the talented Jodi of Shweta Tiwari and Rehman in Sony's Comedy Circus 3 – Teen Ka Tadka had a bad day when he arrived to shoot for the second episode of the show which will air tomorrow, October 31st, at 10 PM on Sony.

According to our source, "The actor who impressed one and all with his punch lines in the opening episode of Teen Ka Tadka was going thro' his lines, and was getting ready for the shoot when he suffered a severe bout of abdominal pain. He lost his senses and his blood pressure also got low, so much so that he had to be rushed to the nearby hospital immediately".

We called Anoop Soni to inquire about his health, and he told us, "I am much better now. Thank you. Yes, it is true that while I was shooting for Comedy Circus, I developed a sudden pain in my abdomen, which was basically a gastric pain. I think I had eaten something wrong the previous day, and I could not withstand the pain at all. I had to be rushed to the hospital, and was administered pain killer injections. Even after that, I was feeling very weak. I had to have an intake of vitamins and juices before getting back to the shoot. However, I am thankful to God that I could give my best shot, and our performance came out really well".

Our source adds, "Anoop Soni's will power pulled him out of the problem on the given day, and he got back to the sets to be with his team mates. He teamed up with Shweta Tiwari and Rehman to give a fabulous performance, for which the team in fact got full marks from the judges".

Way to go, Anoop!!
