'Balika Vadhu 2' ropes in Riddhi Nayak Shukla as Anandi's mother

It is no secret as to the kind of legacy that Balika Vadhu has left on Indian television so far. Launched as one of the first shows on a freshly launched Colors channel back in 2008, the show went on to become one of the longest running shows of all time and even garnered immense love.

With a trend going on currently about second seasons of multiple iconic shows, it seems Balika Vadhu is also jumping in this bandwagon. The new season has been in works for a while and will be having a new cast and will be related to the original theme of the show.

Several casting updates have already taken place where an array of actors have been roped in to play different kinds of roles. Now yet another update has come in where reports suggest that actor Riddhi Nayak Shukla has been roped in to play lead character Anandi's mother in the show.

Whether or not, she will have a similar arc to the first season pertaining Anandi's mother, we'll have to wait and see. One would remember that actor Smita Bansal played the same character in the original.

Balika Vadhu 2 continues to be in the works and might see further fresh updates coming soon.
