I got a chance to work and learn with the best from the television industry and it surely holds a very special part in my heart. With Balika Vadhu we created history, and I am excited to hear the news of the new season. The show’s concept helped create a lot of awareness in the past, but Baal Vivaah is a social evil that unfortunately still exists, and we need to continue fighting this battle. I wish love and luck to the entire cast Balika Vadhu season 2 as they embark on a powerful new journey.”

It’s not just a show it’s an emotion that I lived with for years. Balika Vadhu has been a milestone in my life and I’m sure that the second season will also captivate everyone. My character of Anandi became viewers favourite and now our new Anandi is also all set to mesmerize the audience with her charm”

Even today the title track of the show takes me down the memory lane and makes me feel nostalgic. I am fortunate that I had the chance to work with such brilliant actors who are exceptional at their craft. When I got to know about the new season of Balika Vadhu, it felt like I am cherishing the moments and journey of five years.
