The perfect jodi : Anandi ShivRaj Shekhar and ShivRaj Shekhar
Anandi is the child bride, married at the tender age of eight. Anandi had to accept and accustom herself to a new family of strangers and accept her roles as a friend, lover, wife and a daughter in law during childhood itself under strict old customs. As a young adult, she faces new challenge of a failed marriage. Yet, She carves out her own identity as sarpanch of Jaitsar with the support of her In laws.
ShivRaj Shekhar comes from an army background and is a man of authority. He arrives in Jaitsar as a District Collector and is an energetic, well groomed yet impatient self made man of today.
The Knight in Shining Armour, Shiv enters into the life of Anandi, akin to a knight in shining armour to rescue Anandi when she was in danger. He turns out to be the Collector of the newly minted Jaitsar district...
Shiv being the DC and Anandi, the Sarpanch initially shared a professional bond. It is Shiv, who starts to get impressed with Anandi for unique qualities she possesses. Her simplicity and charm enamours him , and his respect towards her gets manifold upon knowing that she is a "Balika Vadhu ". ...
As days go by, Shiv is completely smitte with Anandi and is in love with her. DadiSaa , seeing a perfect life partner for Anandi in Shiv, asks him if he is willing to take her hand in marriage, and he delightfully accepts. Yet, Anandi is against this wish and is no mood to marry, which she clarifies rather in a loud manner to Shiv., which leaves him shocked.
Yet she had to agree for marriage with him to fulfil her mother's last wish., though not in love with him.
Anandi and Shiv brave various difficult circumstances posed before them with the return of Jagdish into the life of Anandi with a wish to reconcile and have her back.
The mutual understanding and respect they share between themselves help to overcome all the odds and finally they get married in a " Samuhik Vivaah " ceremony with the blessing of all near and dear including the Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
After marriage, AnSh try to adjust with their new life. Shiv promises to give Anandi , time and space as she is still not in love with him , with the after affects of echo of her past.
Shiv's patience and perseverance bears fruit, when Anandi realizes that he is the most precious to her and that she loves him indeed. She confesses her love to him in a most beautiful manner, taking him to the same secluded place, when he rescued her, meeting her for the first time.
Shiv gets transferred to Udaipur, so they go to live in Kesarbagh with the entire Shekhar family.
They enjoy their honeymoon in the beautiful locales of Kashmir, and their life as Husband and Wife in true sense marks its beginning.
Anandi with the help of Shiv, opens an NGO which engages in making the downtrodden women self-sufficient by making use of their various skill sets. Together, they set about encountering and solving many of personal and professional challenges.
On the personal front the major issues they encounter are, Shiv's hot headed sister Sanchi who develops dislike towards Anandi from the beginning, and a secret behind Shiv's actual parentage.With mutual trust and understanding, together they rise above the challenges with elan.
On the professional front, both Aanndi and Shiv face a myriad problems , and with un conditional support towards one another, they brave all of them and succeed in winning over the challenges.
In their one year of marriage, their relationship starts to mature and grow strong by each passing challenge., and there could not be a more loving couple.
Anandi swayed by her motherly instincts, wants to adopt a child, and with full support of Shiv, they adopt a physically challenged child , make him their Son, naming him Amol. They become the best parents ever a child could ask for , and he in turn fills their lives with joy. They decide to wait for the baby of their own until Amol is fit and ready to walk all by himself.
While life on the professional front goes about rather smoothly, poses another challenge to Anandi on the personal front, in the name of Subhadra, Daddu's long last sister found and given shelterby the family, making her a member of the family. Her dislike and hatred for Anandi continues to be a hurdle , Anandi is yet to surpass.
Anandi's heart over flows with love for Shiv and Shiv has his eyes only for Anandi.
Theirs is a bond whose foundation is friendship, faith and mutual trust. They need not talk much, yet can convey deep thoughts. They need not be loud, yet can make a definite impression. And this is the reason, AnSh are a unique and most prized couple in the Hindi telly world.
