------Seetha
It all started when a roly-poly lado' was married to a cute little ladesar' of Jaitsar!
A teacherji' called it foul, but let go without a brawl as the oldies started to howl!
He loved his bubbly Balika Vadhu' in earnest, with all those childhood muses and teases!
Spoilt by his Dadisaa', he was never short of choice and grew up as the king of boys !!
Soon he came under a cloud and stole on the sly and didn't hesitate to lie!!
Supported by family, he walked into light in a corrective phase and came out of that haze!
He became a handsome prince charming, who didn't like traditional family farming!
He set out to become a doctor with hopes and ambitions to factor!!
He was torn between matters of the mind and twitters of the heart!
At cross roads, in an equivocal decision, he left his adoring wife of childhood in a lurch!
and married his lady love who turned out to be his detractor, in yet another glitch!
The forlorn doctor returned to his fold and decided to serve the society manifold!!
He emerged as a phoenix from ashes of destruction, with a new resolve to fight corruption!
He held the hand of a damsel in distress who, for all his good work, was to become his fortress!
As a doctor he cured people with remedies and started to fight against the social maladies!
He oozes purity and vowed to face the hazards and blizzards to weed out the filth in the society!!
A Hero is born whom all the virtues adorn!
Now the evil has to vanish and let the people flourish!!

Prologue
On that unforgettable day,
Shashank Vyas, a tall, handsome and astonishingly charming, exceptionally talented actor with a radiating smile on his face with an amazing screen presence, entered into this phenomenally successful serial, Balika Vadhu', a story based on child marriage as a grown up Jagdish !
He was introduced in a highly romantic way ...as the charming Beendh of Balika Vadhu Anandi One of the main characters of BV serial, Jagya, with all shades of a romantic hero and a dejected anti-hero ,is excellently portrayed by Shashank Vyas. Whenever he was required to give a powerful performance in any of his episodes...he always packed those scenes with his acting skills with a punch.
The fickle minded character of Jagya is very well portrayed by Shashank Vyas, with his face as the mirror of the complex thought processes that went through that character's mind... with a smile on the lips or a slight twitch on his face, a knot in the brows, a curl in the lips , a fumble in his words or with a searching looks in his eyes!
He could convey the true radiance of love and affection, the ugly, scheming side of a wayward person who temporarily went astray and the glorious romantic traits of a prince charming, with ease and elan, as the script demanded from time to time!
Truly, the actor is a Director's Delight !
The story of Balika vadhu has developed with Jagdish as one of the two pivotal characters and revolves mainly around his human mistakes as well as his heroic and chivalrous deeds.
Since his childhood ..he was very assertive but at times indecisive in his thought and actions! He has been brave and always tried to save persons who were in danger. He was very protective of his ladies and saved all his heroines from near death !
He saved Anandi from Heth Singh ...against Gauri's wish and was also neglected and overlooked by his family inspite of his brave act ! He had shown commitment and faith in saving Anandi's self respect and modesty. Without thinking about the consequences ...he always went forward to save his heroines !
He saved Gauri from the ragging medical students , and faced an inexplicable insult from the seniors ...they paraded him nude in the entire college campus! Stunned and shocked by this he even lost his mental stability and went back to Jaitsar !
Then he rescued and saved Ganga from her cruel husband and in laws ...when she was beaten up by her husband and his gang and left to die in the fields!
Jagdish safeguarded Sanchi's chastity by fighting with her college mates and protected her from molestation in a heroic manner .
By helping his heroines as a true hero Jagdish won their hearts and subsequently shared life with them at different times.
Interestingly, the names of all his three heroines, Anandi, Gauri and Ganga are the names of Lord Shiva's (Jagdish's) consorts and the creative writers thoughtfully and aptly christened the main heroines of the serial, whom Jagdish, the original hero of the serial romanced with great lan and dignity!
The actor Shashank vyas as Jagdish excelled in the role, displaying very high standards of acting! He is mesmerizingly handsome and an abundantly talented actor and stands tall amongst most of the TV actors.
His character in the serial possesses very complex traits and experiences very unusual happenings at various stages of his life and as such goes through a wide range of emotional phases like: pathos & elation; sorrow & happiness; jealousy & pride; self pity & benevolence; misery & jubilation; defeat & triumph; rejection &acceptance; rigidity & tenderness ; harshness & kindness; fear & heroism; meanness &magnanimity; negligence & responsibility; foolishness & wisdom; love & hatred; casualness & commitment; selfishness & sacrifice and many other subtle shades of feelings !
He lived in the character and deftly brought all those emotions and feelings alive and gave absorbing performances and enjoyed outstanding screen presence.
Such is his acting quotient that, when Jagya was heroic people just loved him and when he was villainous, people hated him to the core; but they always adored the actor Shashank Vyas for exploiting his latent talent and showcasing his acting skills!
'''''''''''''''''''Seetha
Jagya and Anandi ..
Since childhood Jagya was a wanderer...without any set goals. To escape from the ire of his father...he ran away from the house - to Mumbai...which created so many problems to his family, esp.to Anandi!! .It was a life changing experience to both Jagya and Anandi in different ways. Anandi almost lost her life...lost her memory...lost her husband to[kid] Gauri...because of Dadisaa 's illogical decision !
Jagya was a pampered kid, spoilt brat , a male with high self esteem...but emotionally dependent...egocentric but very intelligent, having a very kind heart .He has always been good at heart . He was emotionally attached to Anandi.. at all stages in all circumstances . Anandi had been his weakness as well as his great strength too . That was the paradox in their relationship !!
All through the story, his character revolved around Anandi's character...when he loved her, people liked him as a cute boy or Handsome Hero; but as he started troubling her, viewers started hating him! But on both occasions viewers appreciated the acting skills of Shashank ! That is the quality and caliber of a great actor !
Jagya had a sense of belonging for Anandi ever since their childhood marriage and developed a lot of affinity and friendship, which in the later part of his life was to turn into reverence, till the time he came across Gauri whom he married and had intense love-hate relationship !!
As a grown up Jagdish ! He was introduced in a highly romantic way ...as the charming Beendh of Balika Vadhu Anandi ! ! In disguise, he played with her sentiments, teased her and kept her in the dark that he is her Dream Prince, whom she was longing to see ! Again.on her 18th birth day he participates in her birthday celebrations and Anandi gets thrilled to realize that the prince charming is her own husband !
Anandi and Jagdish's childhood attachment... companionship ...adolescent passionate love----matured friendship...were a treat to watch! His behavior was extravagant ... passionate ... hers was tender... sensitive...with delicate expression of feelings; filled with captivating smiles ... she enthralled him ... with heavenly beauty ...rustic innocence...!
But unfortunately, the teenage love saga ended abruptly!!
Though Jagdish deceived and rejected and divorced Anandi...that childhood attachment...dependence... and bonding had been still there!
His infatuation for Gauri made him run far away from his roots and Anandi,
Jagya and Anandi were separated physically but attached mentally"Depended on each other emotionally.!!! She saved him - he saved her - later he crushed her dreams-she went into seclusion-and later he wanted her back - she wanted to move forward.
Who is responsible for this hiatus? Here the culprit is Child marriage !
A grown up Jagya while in city was attracted mentally and bodily to his educated & intelligent classmate, Gauri and wanted to settle down in life with her ! Towards this goal, he was guided by the materialistic & suspicious Gauri's designs, and lied and committed mistakes repeatedly with camouflaged mind and confronted his own people and struggled a lot in that phase of his life !
He romanced Anandi and Gauri at different stages of his life, under different circumstances. He left them, again for different reasons, as prompted by circumstances!!
His involvement and concern for his ladies at various stages of his life in unique conditions, has been genuine and he tried his best to bring about a balance and to do things what he thought were right in those given circumstances, especially while dealing with his family and Anandi while staying married to Gauri!
Outwardly his blunders might seem unpardonable ...but he is eligible for forgiveness ...because there has always been a reason behind everything he did!
He regretted for his faults and tried to rectify them and later has evolved as a great understanding husband to Ganga and achieved his goals in the social sphere and reinforced his family bonding and regained his space in Badi haveli as a laadla beta' who is dependable and trustworthy more than ever before!
At times leaders commit mistakes, but they do have the wisdom to admit it and rectify them with dignity !
A story of indecisiveness ended in a saga of everlasting respect for Anandi, as he realized her importance after parting ways with Gauri; but an irrevocable revelation that they are forever APART dawned on him! Jagdish realized that he lost his wife Anandi forever---but continues to treasure her friendship. She had forgiven him..and they are best friends now . A relationship which started with friendship as they were married at an age when they didn't know any other meaning of their bond than friendship , fell in love as teenagers because of being the most influential people in each other's lives , also a tender age to fall in love and know its true meaning Their relationship is still at friendship Thus beautifully defining the theme kachi umer k pake rishte The only rishta apart from blood relations that stays forever from childhood is friendship not child marriage . Jagya and Anandi's childhood friendship is respected by both spouses Shiv and Ganga . Jagya and Anandi were best friends, are best friends and will always be best friends
Dr. Jagat and Gauri
Jagdish's character so far has been complex because of his inherent weaknesses as well as assertive audacity. An intelligent writer can use his character in any way he wants to fortify the story line. Then Jagdish was an adolescent lover...[to Anandi &Gauri]-- in transitional stage of physical and psychological development.. he was attracted towards urban life , disowned his rural background and his own people... He changed his name from Jagdish to Jagat , deceived and rejected Anandi with eyes wide shut...without realizing the implications and impact of that immature decision..as a result of infatuation towards Gauri !
On the other hand, Gauri had strong convictions... assessments about persons and situations ... with clear understanding of her priorities.. She was.very decisive...assertive and had a clear cut opinion on life...but after marrying with Jagdish knowingly he is already married to Anandi and same boy with whom she was married in childhood ,she turned, insecure , vengeful ,cunning , cruel
She was never accepted by his family. Once again being rejected by the same family who didn't accept her in childhood she became revenge obsessed and distanced herself from Jagdish and lost peaceful and serene life!!!
In that process she lost Jagdish- her love life
In an urge to have him completely for herself because of insecurity owing to Jagdish's perseverance and leanings towards his family and Anandi . The emotional dependence and feeling of security, for which she was longing for long, she actually got it but lost it because of her ego and revenge obsession on Jagdish 's family . She lied to him ,kept building her castle on lies , planned and plotted to distance him from his family making a challenge with his mother behind his back she will never let him come back to his family again , knowing very well how much he is desperate to get back to his family ,she insulted his father behind his back knowing very well he will not like it , she took advantage of his blind faith on her and used him to take revenge from his family , even hid of the truth of her miscarriage from him which happened due to her own reckless driving but she cunningly manipulated the situation putting blame on Anandi , never telling the truth and turning Jagdish's grief on losing his child into anger on Anandi When her truth came in front of Jagdish instead of accepting her misdeeds , blinded with her ego Gauri showed no remorse , she did not care at all . After seeing Gauri's true face Jagdish parted ways with her
Jagdish was disillusioned and lost his self-identity...and suddenly a strong feeling of self pity engulfed him. He started longing for his family..started realizing the importance of Anandi... felt the vacuum of her absence in his life. Suddenly he felt all alone and had nowhere to go and that temporarily rendered him a negative character, who tried to make life miserable for Anandi as because of her his family was not accepting him back . But soon he realized his mistakes and overcame his evilness in his mind and pushed himself to his previous heights!
He tried to talk with Gauri again but blinded with her ego and revenge as she lost a challenge to his mother, Gauri refused to see him She never replied to his letter thus the fate of this relationship was sealed here forever
Dr.Jagdish Singh and Sanchi ...
Sanchi was attracted towards Jagdish because of his chivalrous nature... he saved her when she was wounded and fell by the road side, he saved her when she was booed by passersby on Udaipur road ,then again he saved her from her MBA classmates from molestation !
She started liking him and assumed as if he was her own ! His physical appeal attracted her and she could do anything to have this handsome man in her life
She wanted him ...followed him...cornered him...got him...fancied her love with red coats and black kheer...with a war cry- like love declaration , in the middle of the night on a deserted road...then a whimsical fashion parade at that midnight ...and in unabashed expression of her crush, offered a kiss on the platter... rejected by him deserted by him, felt insulted by him and determined to make him realize the level of her love... She went to every limit to get him She threatened him with her whimsical whips , cut her wrist so she can have him through emotional blackmail but when failed , she became vengeful and dragged him to the court with a false blame to punish him but Ganga failed her plans and revealed her true face in front of all
Jagdish agreed to marry Sanchi only because of Dadisaa and Sumitra's insistence that Anandi's life will be affected if he said no to her Sasural's wish !
In this phase ...throughout he was in two minds ...his heart was longing for Ganga ,the damsel in distress whom he saved , with whom he bonded over her child Mannu In Mannu Jagdish started seeing his own lost child who died before coming in this world because of Gauri's negligence , Ganga whose soul sealer was Jagdish, she became his soul healer too Her comforting words and company used to heal Jagdish's wouded soul but his duty towards his family demanded to marry Sanchi ... He struggled a lot in that phase ..
When he heard the insulting words of Sanchi for his family in the Coffee shop , he realized her crooked and cunning nature and then went on to be assertive and decided to distance himself from this Rishta and directed by his conscience, married Ganga whom he loved most and who adored him as her savior ,mentor ,guide and Philosopher Doctor saa, in a lightning moment!
Doctor saa and Ganga
Also a Balika Vadhu, Ganga suffered a lot in her earlier life for long. Married at a tender age of 13 to a man about her father's age Ratan Singh ,she grew up bearing in human behavior of her husband and in laws, she was attacked by her in-laws and husband repeatedly and had to escape from Sasural with her small child Mannu , whom she wanted to save and give a better upbringing away from his cruel grandparents and father ...She was cruelly beaten up by Ratan Singh and was saved by Jagdish .. Deserted by fate...escorted by misfortune...wounded by marriage...tortured by relationships...she had only a small shade- under a tender sapling ...her son, Mannu... then at last she got solace in her association with Dr Jagdish, after a long tired journey !
Later inspired by him she studied and became a trained Nurse.
Again he saved her from the strong hold of the blind law when she was jailed in Mangalore for her uncommitted sin ! In that heart wrenching situation Jagdish went there and stood by her side and saved her from that situation in that unacquainted far off land !
He withstood all tests and came out of the docile and indecisive phases of his life and again regained his confidence and assertive nature and married Ganga like a true romantic hero ! Circumstances lead her marriage to Doctor saa ... she consequently won the hearts of his family members and our hearts too. Her marriage with Doctor saa ...is like a fairy tale like, but a fiercely fought one too!
Her love, affection and commitment towards Jagdish has been awe-inspiring, whether it is the way she ferries a terribly wounded Jagya, when Ratan's goons mauled him near the temple, or when she pleads with the doctor to save Jagya at any cost, touching his feet and announcing that she cannot be alive if anything happens to him, indicating that at heart she was already wedded to him; or the way she runs bare feet towards the Badi Haveli to break the news of Jagya's arrest, immediately after their wedding !
Ganga ...at first a solace seeker from Jagya ...later became his shadow and finally emerged as a lovable wife and now a helping hand and a better half of Dr.Jagdish Singh in all his pursuits ! An adorable couple , eternal soul mates ...blessed with two lovely kids.
...seetha
Jagdish as balak var in this serial is a complex character. He was overly pampered and spoilt by his Dadisaa with her old mindset, as her Ladesar in his childhood, which was mainly responsible for his going astray and lead to personality deficiencies as he grew up!
Again, ironically,the same Dadisaa, later enlightened and transformed by Anandi punished him severely for his mistakes , as he grew up in the later part of his life !
Always she gave money to him and supported him in all his mistakes as an apparent expression of love which made him an arrogant Beendh and because of her support he went on to misbehave and lost many things in his future life!
Again ..Dadisaa never allowed Jagdish to have a good relationship with Anandi, his wife ...and intervened every now and then and created a big gap between them ...That resulted in Jagdish tilting towards Gauri which consequently lead to the divorce between Anandi and Jagdish ! Thus, Dadisaa is responsible for the failure of JaAn marriage !
Jagdish's attachment with Dadisaa is remarkable ...always followed her orders , gave immense respect to her throughout and has great confidence in her love, even in his troubled times when everybody else rejected him !
He always loved his parents and sought their advice and blessings time and again! Only on Gauri's advice, he demanded his share of property, shadowed by selfishness and disrespecting the intensity of love and affection he enjoyed amongst his family members.
But he always respected them ...accepted their orders silently, left the house after deserting Anandi , left the house with Gauri because they ordered him to leave ,again left the house with Ganga after marriage which was not accepted by Dadisaa and Sumitra who were too blinded to please Anandi's in laws , Sumitra was completely blinded with Sanchi's fakeness
He turned himself as an unwanted guest to his own house ... always awaited with bated breath while meeting his family .. but at heart he wanted to be with them !
He re-entered his house with all the family members' consent and blessings ! Always respected the family orders and their wish and will, without any questioning except in that weak and untenable phase of his married life with Gauri!
He loves and respects his Tausa and Taisa immensely and helped them as a Doctor , supported them when they were in two minds in IVF ,and gave moral support to them ,and later guided Ganga to perform the difficult delivery on Gehna successfully . Even he saved Nandu from the viral fever as a doctor , Nandu and Jagdish share great brotherhood . Jagdish is Nandu's elder brother , his best friend , his guide . Nandu is attached to Jagdish the most among all . Jagdish always loved his family and was guided by them and whenever need demanded, helped them to come out of troubles !
He loves his sister Sugna and her family and is a lovable mama for Sugna's children ! He has always been a lovable brother to his sister ! While in Mumbai when he was disturbed at his inability to be with his sister on the occasion of Raakhi, he called her on phone and heard her voice ...which gave him solace from that simple act! Such a bonding with his family!
A great friend to all his classmates especially to LalSingh and Phooli ! He used them constructively and was helpful and useful to them too ! He has been caring and nice to Gulli who she respects him as elder brother
Mainly his helping nature attracted Sanchi most and in a way created many problems for him .
He was a great friend first and a saviour to all his heroines. For that quality they were attracted towards him. While he married Ganga and Gauri later, in the case of Anandi , he was married to her first in childhood and then became a great friend and remained so throughout ! In a way he is a perennial lover and a permanent loser till he met Ganga !
Now he has settled in life with a great career as a Doctor! Later, on the insistence of villagers he is elected as a Member of Legislative Assembly and started paving the way for the improvement of the Jaitser District ...for the people this Neta is a saviour and an able administrator too !
He is a lovable person to all the kids in the family ...a playmate to Nandu and Sugna's kids. He was first attracted to the cute kid Mannu and later was attracted towards Ganga! He accepted Mannu as his son before marrying Ganga ... He has been a lovable and caring father to his kids ! It is always a pleasurable scene when he is with kids !All kid adore him and want to spend time with him
He is highly romantic towards his heroines, very lovable amongst the kids, an efficient Doctor, an able leader with a dare-devilish attitude in challenging situations !
All these roles were efficiently played by one person ...a great actor Shashank Vyas !
...seetha
Jagdish can be termed as a childhood spoilt brat a selfish lovelorn person, a nomad, a reoriented sincere lover and a mature, transformed, selfless, chivalrous social activist... and presently, all the makings of a hero!
The character of Jagdish is very complex ... an embodiment of all traits of human nature ... chivalry, bravery, leadership, heroism, passion , love, jealousy, self pity, ego and its associated negative traits.
Till recently, at every stage of his life Jagya forced himself into a state of indecisiveness and stood at the crossroads...with a confused mind...not knowing which way to go...but he later regained his wisdom and put himself on a corrective path quickly to scale new heights!
He has been an enthusiastic lover, a struggler and a learner. He learnt a lot from his roller coaster life, and evolved as a great human being and then earned accolades from his heroines and from the viewers as well !
Jagdish's personality has many positive traits... he saved Anandi when she got knocked down by a jeep and as he carries her to Haveli, he sets her dupatta right and drapes her properly, respecting her modesty (chivalry); he rescued Anandi from kidnappers much to the chagrin of Gauri & her parents(bravery & heroism); he is committed to the welfare & health of his village people, selflessly (social leadership).
Self-trust is what makes a person a hero, for, if he does not trust in his own capabilities he cannot achieve what he proposes to himself. Someone who is a hero is temperate, hospitable, generous, and dauntless and will be ready to sacrifice his own life, not expecting any rewards. Sometimes, when a hero is overcome by evil and selfishness, because of his error in judgement, his downfall begins; but in the course of the life's struggle, he awakens himself and with self-knowledge and wisdom he quickly regains his stature and poise and will be back on his righteous path!
Jagdish possesses all these qualities of a true hero and in the past possessed some traits of anti hero .His is complex character ...never been a negative character but ...yes...with many grey shades in the past ! Not an anti- hero...but a hero with occasional negativity. In Jagdish's life there is a systematic process of social influence in which he was enlisted as the aid and support for others in the accomplishment of a common task ! From there on ,he assumed the reins of a leader whom people follow as somebody who guides or directs others. He excelled in organizing people of his village to achieve common goals for their betterment ...like a true leader ! He shines like true hero now
Shashank Vyas, the actor who essayed this complex role carried it off very well, emoting the most intricate feelings of the character with great ease ...he just fitted in that role ...as if he was born for that purpose ! No other actor could have done more justice to that role !
Overall, Shashank Vyas as balak var' Jagdish Singh in 'Balika Vadhu', very sensitively portrayed the plight of children who are unwittingly forced into marriage in the name of tradition, and have to bear the repercussions as they grow up into mature individuals and suffer for the rest of their lives!
Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you!!
