did not like the new anandi at all.she lacks the innocence and spark that avika had, agree that avika grew up too fast post the show, but throughout the show she had the natural innocence and spark that could light up the screen, which is sorely missing in the new anandi. the kid in Ganga is much better as she has that innocence, even she does not resemble either shiv or the younger anandi(avika) at all. the PH should have taken a more cuter kid who would atleast resemble Avika a bit,if they wanted to recreate the Balika Vadhu story all over again. even the balak var is not comparable to little jagya who though self centred was caring too. Nimboli a poor choice for the character. could see her smirk also while talking to her balak var.In fact she looks shrewd, reminds me of earlier Saachi (when she was negative)
