I am a bit baffled by the timing of PB's replacement as Anandi. It was quite obvious for quite a few months now, that body doubles were being used, not only for Anandi but also for Shiv, I first noticed it in the scene where Anandi confronts Shiv in front of the family when he refuses to marry her, it was Shiv's BD at that time, and then it kind of became a game for me to guess which scene was being shot with a BD, so it comes as a surprise to me that they took so long to realize that they needed to replace PB, which brings me to the question, why now, when everyone was anxiously waiting for the most important question to be answered, will she or wont she, take that final big step in her marriage.

Here I must say that the PH is very smart, they could have easily replaced PB before the marriage and romancing scenes, but they new doing this would be catastrophic, the audience would just stop watching as they would not be interested in watching a new Anandi fall in love, on the other hand if they would have waited till after the consummation, then again the same thing would have happened, they would have lost their audience as we would have been content in knowing that our Shiv consummated his marriage with the right Anandi and who would be interested in seeing him with the new Anandi, so they played on the audiences feelings and picked the right moment for the replacement…...post marriage when half of India is waiting for the consummation to happen….so even if you don't like the new Anandi you are curious to know will she, wont she and still watch, so in the meanwhile they will give you filler episodes showing plans of Jagya's third marriage(and we call this serial progressive)….lucky Jagya…he must be looking forward to ruining Ganga's life as well, so that Dsa can get him married a fourth time, oh wait a minute, the fourth one is already on her way, Saanchi...(Anandi must be wondering what did I miss here, all these girls crazy for my Jagya, should I consider going back to him) and then there is the servants union being formed….Makhan, Pappu, Nathu , Ghanshyam and what have you?? And if that was not enough we have to put up with Basant and Gehnas baby making plans….Oh BV makers, you must be laughing all the way, thinking what fools are these audiences made up of? Who would have tolerated these tracks, but we do, only because we want to know if Anandi will or will not bite the forbidden apple?

Which once again brings me to the question, why Toral? I have nothing against her, maybe I would have liked her had she played Anandi right from the start, but not now when you have us hooked to this other image of Anandi, why not someone who is more close in stature and looks to PB, someone like maybe Jennifer Winget (she would have nailed the role of Anandi from what I have seen of her in SC) or anyone else, the reason why Ansh took us by storm was the electrifying chemistry that Sidyusha shared,(I am almost sure my TV set smoked when they were on screen), the contrast in their personalities, one tall and broad, the other dainty and delicate, we had to fall in love with the two, there was no other go, you conveniently built up your audience base with the help of this chemistry and then right when it was time to show us the explosion, your bomb fused. You disappointed us big time, I live in the US and many of my friends who followed BV here are disappointed, many have stopped watching….. and if some of us are still watching it is only because of Shiv….we want him to be happy, hoping this new Anandi delivers what the old one had promised….just like you guys guessed, the TRP's will not fall until consummation happens and in the meanwhile bring on the junk….Jagya…Gehna..Dsa…Makhan….etc etc,we will tolerate all of those for the next couple of years until we realize that even Shiv has been replaced…….fed up of waiting for Anandi and all for the sake of TRP's.

Brilliant post, Ananhita.

A lot of these desires is from the PH's point of view.

What they forgot to consider is that the audience (a large part of it, anyway) is not dumb. We want quality, value for money, and as a '"viewing" and "hearing" audience, something that attracts our eyes and our brains. Not a drag fest.

The consumer is king... and the renaming of Gurbani is proof of that.

I wish wisdom continues to prevail.

(PS: I thought I'd get my tuppence in before this post is shut down too - for daring to deviate from the prescribed path.)

BDs seemed to have appeared in almost one third of AnSh scenes.There were people who called this show BD instead of BV.

This was way before the channel decided to air the show 6 times a week.

May be the abuses hurled at the channel and PH for excessive use of BDs forced them to replace the actress?

Any way we will never know the reasons behind it.The fact she is not there anymore in the show.
We have been given two choices by the makers of the show.we can either watch the show with the replacement or quit.

so even if you don't like the new Anandi you are curious to know will she, wont she and still watch, so in the meanwhile they will give you filler episodes showing plans of Jagya's third marriage(and we call this serial progressive)'.lucky Jagya'he must be looking forward to ruining Ganga's life as well, so that Dsa can get him married a fourth time, oh wait a minute, the fourth one is already on her way, Saanchi...(Anandi must be wondering what did I miss here, all these girls crazy for my Jagya, should I consider going back to him)

I guess the right question here would be "When she will take that step?" ...Not "Whether she will take that step or not?" That was never the question. Of course she will take that step..if not now sometime later when she is comfortable. LOL Why would she tie him up in a marriage and ruin his life if she never intended to consummate with him ever? She just needed some time.

Jagya will not be ruining Ganga's life. Her life was already ruined by her husband. in fact J had been her rescuer and will continue being that. Here i don't understand the Singh's stupidity though. How come they are thinking of his marriage w/o thinking of settling all legal issues related to Gauri? They don't have to bring her in...but they have to end it properly. A simple goodbye letter alone is not enough!

Talking about shiv and Anandi personalities, i think the new Anandi suits him better. Physically, she is more fit for his personality. Old Anandi looked too tiny beside him. Rather than chemistry, the old anandi looked like as if she will soon be undergoing a marital rape by a really huge man! That fear always showed. She was never comfortable with him.

I hope you saw the pink night gown scene. Comfort level between Sid and prat was visible even in her last epi. When outside there eyes spoke volume. Parts delicate physics looked well with Sid. Total is suiting SIDS physically fine but there is zero, nill, nada chemistry.

Are you joking , jagya as a rescuer, jagya is nothing but a loser...all he can do is ruin everyones life with his childish and impulsive behavior, the only way he can save Ganga is by leaving her alone now that he has rescued her from Ratan, instead of patching up with Gauri and realising his mistakes you are suggesting legally ending his marraige and ruining another innocent girls life..., from Anandi to Gauri to Ganga to Saanchi to God knows who is next...Dsa will keep getting him married so that he is not alone and 'Bujha bujha sa...', itne ladkiyon ke zindagi ki batti bujha kar, Jagya ke zindagi ki batti jalane chali Dsa...'

Very good post! Was in splits. Totally matched my thinking on how cunning the CVs r with regards to timing of replacement.

I am a bit baffled by the timing of PB's replacement as Anandi.

Chemistry may be the most important thing in serials based on romance and jodi, BV is not such a serial.

samvi is not joking but you definitely are 🤣since when did you last time seen serial making your own story ?going out of facts of serial seriously how far you people will go 👎🏼keep waiting how badly cvs fail you in your logics and Jagaya won't destory innocent Ganga 's life he and DSa are making her life and will make it and Jagaya is not in love with Sanchi if she does what his fault that is why i am saying you haven't seen the serial properly and how Jagaya should patch with that disgusting woman Gauri who is not willing to do so ..die in her path ...pathetic logics unfair criticism 🤢

I know BV has made people aware of a lot of social issues which still exist in India, and I am all for it, but making a good for nothing loser marry for the nth time to settle his life, wrecking the life of innocent girls, is not progressive from my POV and also over working your actors to a point that they have no choice but to quit the show and then blame it on the actor is also not professionalism, we could have lived with the show even if they could have aired it 4 times a week, as long as they showed relevant issues and not waste our time by showing makhan's fear of ghosts etc..(and dont tell me it was just shown to lighten the situation...I wont buy that...) And who says chemistry is not important...just wait and watch...
