Balika Vadhu
Over 1,200 episodes done, and there can be no denying that Balika Vadhu has come a long way. Tracing the journey that began with the adorable young Anandi (played by Avika Gor), who grows up to become the village sarpanch (Pratyusha Banerjee), the show has dealt with issues like child marriage and propagated remarriage in a sensitive manner. Even the replacement of popular lead actor, Pratyusha, with Toral Rasputra didn't diminish its charm.
