    Loved the character of Collector Sahab

    Actually I watched this show last year when it was retelcasted.... & then I became fan of #SidharthShukla for the second time... 1st time when he was in Bigg Boss.... I loved your chemistry with late pratyusha....

    love you #SidharthShukla.

    nice

    one of many Indian soap opera.far to be real original. same recipes, same acting, same clichés. the good thing is the work to reflect the great social problems. not original but useful for sensibler about the child brides, about moral values, about tradition and about family rules. sure, nothing profound but enough for be little more than a sentimental movie. and that fact is a good point. for understand a side of India, for crumbs of nice performances, for the stereotypes and for the desire to be different. the humor and the drama, in precise proportions, are not bad ingredients for a story in many parts confused.

    surviving

    a series who reminds the work of Penelope expecting Ulyses. story by story by story. united by small moral lessons. great themes, huge dramas, unrealistic situations and the characters in the skin of eternal youth. at its end, the start remains more confuse by the first episode. sure, noble, good intentions. crumbs of Indian civilization . and the grandmother as pillar of family and interest. but the story of poor Anandi remains strange and confuse. like the evolution of her daughter. and the only question about this series, with a so precise target, remains the obscure desire to give a kind of American soap opera without any coherence. it is strange to say if it is a good or a bad series because, after a long time , it becomes familiar. not interesting or seductive but, like an easy novel, familiar. so, a surviving series. about tradition, family and more small details.

    A brave attempt that made this an iconic show

    Balika Vadhu was probably the first show on Indian television that broke away from the traditional saas-bahu stories and focused on a real social issue. A brilliant star cast helped this show become the longest running show at the time and the show also helped catapult them to super-stardom.

    Avika Gor, Avinash Mukherjee, Anup Soni, Smita Bansal, Pratyusha Banerjee, Sidharth Shukla, Shashank Vyas, Neha Marda, Satyajit Sharma, Amar Sharma, Vikrant Massey, Veebha Anand and most importantly Surekha Sikri play their parts to perfection!

    I grew up watching this show and even though they really dragged it towards the end, I was teary eyed when the show ended. It was truly the end of an era.

    The love the show has received really shows given the fact that even the re-runs are topping the TRP charts. Balika Vadhu will definitely be written down in history.
