FROM LauraM

It's been a year since Toral entered BV as Anandi. Let me write something on the anniversary of her entrance.

As far as I remember, when we first saw little Anandi, she was playing with her friends in the schoolyard, cheerful and carefree. Up to that moment she had a perfect childhood.

Some fifteen years later, young women Anandi stepped into her teacher-ji schoolyard again. This time she was invited as a guest of honour and row model of a woman who has overcome major difficulties in life. It was Toral who made this step as Anandi, to mark the beginning of a new life.

So, what was Toral/Anandi journey to a new life?

I read somewhere that first year of a marriage is one of the most stressful periods in one's life. Because we're supposed to adapt to what is implied as living together. Not to mention when living together means "together with numerous and not so friendly family members".

O.K. let's get back to Anandi - study case. Anandi didn't have any major track during last year. She spent most of the time trying to adjust to the new family, to prove loyalty to Shekhars. On the other side, she was always ready to run to Jaitsar in order to fix problems in Sing family. Only here and there we could enjoy a few romantic moments between AnSh and see hints of social work. It looked like she was losing her identity after moving to Udaipur.

However, during all the criticized tracks and illogical twists (we were complaining all the time) what actually happened to Anandi? She regained her innate confidence and strength, developing relationship with Shiv based on love, mutual respect, trust and understanding. She stood by him when tough time came and their love was constantly deepened. Transformation from shy and restrained girl to a woman enthusiastic to express love in every possible way was beautifully portrayed by Toral.

I liked her when she blushed trying to say "I love you".

I loved her when she finally confessed her love.

I suffered with her when Shiv ignored her because he was blinded by anger towards Jagia.

I melted when she "plunged" into his embrace.

I adored her when she teased him.

I was excited and inspired when she embraced baby Anuja and then Amol, expressing warmth and maternal feelings.

I was impressed with her during wedding anniversary and rituals related to J's newborn. She looked like a queen, emotionally fulfilled and radiant.

I was deeply moved when she became pillar of support to Shiv during identity crisis. Not only his pillar of support, but backbone of the whole Shekhars family. Ultimate proof that she became real part of Shekhars is that even Sanchi accepted her. Finally, after ugly incident she suffered lately, Sanchi accepted that Anandi is not an intruder, but true pure soul, true friend, unconditionally unselfish person.

But, my key point is: Toral made me believe in such Anandi. I love and respect Toral as Anandi very much. She can be playful and naughty friend, romantic and devoted wife, obedient daughter in law, caring daughter and mother, torment to bad people... and all the time she is elegant, feminine and graceful. People say that she lightens the screen, and I agree.

I hope that Anandi will finally get her own track - something related to her own education, social work, and, of course, raising children with Shiv.

Congratulation Toral, and thank you for this lovely journey we've been through so far. I'm eagerly waiting for continuation ...
