MUMBAI: Balika Vadhu went on to become an iconic and it ran for eight years.
Looking at the cult following and the social messages it imparts, the makers launched the second season, however, looks like it failed to create an impact. The makers tried all twists and turns and after the child actors failed to get viewership, the show took a leap and Shivangi Joshi of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlataa Hai played the lead role along with Randeep Rai and Samridh Bawa.
The makers will soon pull the plug on the show and it will go off-air on February 22 and producer Sunjoy Wadhwa confirmed the news.
Shivangi aka Anandi broke her silence and revealed that the show has not ended. It is coming on Voot. Revealing the reason for its conclusion on TV, Joshi said, “I don’t think end-end raha hai. The reason it ended on TV is because they wanted to continue the journey further on OTT. So that has continued.”
Speaking to Pinkvilla, Shivangi Joshi said, “Yeah, it didn’t do very well on TV, but it’s working well on OTT platform. Both the mediums have their own audiences, so we are happy that it’s on OTT now, and we will get a new audience. People will see a different concept of Balika Vadhu now. So it’s nice, the storyline is very interesting and also relatable. The situations that will be created (on the show) will be very relatable. Today’s generation will be able to connect with Anandi.”
