BALIKA VADHU

Balika Vadhu is a Indian TV serial (watch all episodes, cast, award, and news )Set in rural Rajasthan, ‘Balika Vadhu’ traces the arduous journey of child bride Anandi from childhood to the brink of womanhood. Married at the tender age of eight, Anandi must accept and accustom herself to a new family of strangers and accept her roles as friend, lover, wife, and daughter-in-law during childhood itself.

Now, as a young adult, she faces new challenges as she tries to carve out her own identity in the world. ‘Balika Vadhu’ very sensitively portrays the plight of children who are unwittingly forced into marriage in the name of tradition and must bear with the repercussions for the rest of their lives.

An 8-year-old girl, Anandi is married to Jagdish “Jagya” Singh. Jagya’s widowed sister Sugna faces difficulty remarrying as she is pregnant. Though a local, Shyam asks Sugna’s hand in marriage, Jagya doesn’t approve of it and switches his exam results with Anandi’s.

Anandi confronts Jagya but is shot. Later, Jagya’s grandmother gets him married to a girl named Gauri, while still being married to Anandi; the panchayat declares it illegal. Since both Jagya and Anandi are going through changes, their families decide that they should stay away from each other until they’re both adults.
