Shashank Vyas aka Jagya of Balika Vadhu is an angry man. Sources say that the actor upset when in the track where he is shown contesting elections, Siddharth Shukla (Shiv) was shown walking away with all the credit! In the current track where he is fighting elections, the opposition party led by Heth Singh's son tries to malign him by morphing his and Anandi's (Toral Rasputra) picture and accuses him of having an extra marital affair. A livid Shiv finds the original picture on which Anandi-Jagya are morphed. He proves them innocent and emerges victorious. Says the source, "This upset Shashank.
He felt that Shiv instead of him was given the importance. He was so angry that he threatened to quit the show and stalled the shoot for 40 minutes." However, a source close to Shashank says that he only expressed his concerns about introducing other characters in his track. "He is okay if there's twist in the story, but since his and Ganga's track was on, he was apprehensive about them incorporating other tracks, that's all. Also, viewers have been tweeting about wanting to see Jagya and Ganga's romance. He had a frank discussion with the producer and he was assured that it will be taken care of." Confirms Shashank,
"As a professional actor, I expressed concerns about my track."

I guess he has his reasons to express his concerns when the cast is this huge they will be doubts regarding characters and tracks from time to time.
Screen space has always been divided between J and A and as the story progressed with more and more characters coming in J A and their partner's space got reduced and the characters who were involved in their tracks got more space
Ex Sanchi and Shekhars in AnSh track and Dadisa and Singh family members in JG track.
I don't think replacement of Anandi was the reason for SanchiJagya track.It was hinted at the time of Sanchi's entry itself while J was still black that there is going to be SaJa track with Sanchi wanting to marry Sanskari divorcee.That time itself it was obvious J's redemption is on cards and J and A are going to get tangled in another web .
This track was obviously meant for setting off J and S against each other over Sanchi and Anandi getting caught in between. They obviously have to have tracks like this between the three of them as they happen to be high points of the story.
Since they introduced Ganga and they made this track as triangle between Sanchi Jagya Ganga.
I don't think this is unfair either because J was present all over during AnSh engagement period just like Sanchi was all over during JG track.
At the conclusion of the track only J came out bright and whiter well Anandi came up as the next better person.
It was very clear that Sanchi Jagya track is to keep Anandi and Jagya connected in some way as per the story requirement.
To accelerate Jagya Ganga story they made Anandi blackmail Jagya into agreeing to a marriage because they obviously wanted to get on with Jagya Ganga love story fast.It would have been strange at that point if Jagya agreed to marriage so to make him look better they made him agree at Anandi's insistence.Anandi and his love for Anandi was used to make him look better.So Jagya did come out as a better person with every interaction with Anandi.
If people say they used Jagya to make story for Anandi they used Anandi to make Jagya's redemption convincing.
After JG marriage - the tracks for them were badly written with no proper research into medical field. They actually showed more of Jagya's professional life than ANandi's or Shiv's professsional life.It 's another matter the tracks failed
Mannu's cancer track - to cover up for their lack of knowledge in that field they made it into family drama
Ganga's pregnancy don't know why DS got so much footage though
Even current track they probably wanted to change J's career and they used Anandi to create drama around it. Heth Singh didn't really have anything against J but they brought in Anandi to heighten the drama because Anandi and Heth Singh go along way back.
Agree about Shiv's presence there in the end was not needed but it made for a good scene.
They used Anandi in Jagya's track to create drama.
But in the end what sells is Mahaan Anandi shedding buckets of tears sells better than happy content Anandi and Shiv with his herogiri sells more than as a baddie and Jagya sells much better as an imperfect man rather than as a super good hero.This is an indisputable fact.
Jagya Shiv or even Dadisa may have their won fan base but for the majority of people they watch it for story and central character is Anandi unless the story of the other characters connect with Anandi some way they will not have any relevance.How they connect so many tracks with the central character is the writers job and whether the story works or not is dependant on how well they connect the stories to Anandi.
I liked this track because this track has crossing off A J paths with possible repercussions of this on both couples. this is a sensible track and they connected them in a more sensible manner.
It can be said both ways if people say that J was used to create story for J A was used to create drama in J's track.
