It's curtains for one of the longest running television shows 'Balika Vadhu'. Launched in 2008, the show will air its last episode on July 31, thereby completing eight years. Reveals a source associated with the show, "We have been informed about the decision. The unit will shoot the last episode around July 22. The show has run its course and it will make no sense to drag it any further." Apparently, low ratings is also a reason behind the decision. The makers brought back veteran actress Surekha Sikri recently in a hope to regain lost ground, but it didn't work.
Mahhi, who plays the protagonist Nandini, says, "I have not been informed officially about this. It is unfortunate if 'Balika Vadhu' is coming to an end. I wish the show was promoted well as no one knew that it was airing at an early evening time slot. For me, it's time to move on professionally."
Ruslan Mumtaz, who plays the male lead in the show, says, "This hasn't been announced yet. I was told that we would be informed at least two months before the show shuts. But if it is ending, then it is time to move on to another project."

It's all the cvs doing side lined Avinash and made this Ruslan the male lead they thought to announce Avinash as the male lead and when they thought ok they have pulled some of Avinash fans to the the show let's side line him and make this 2nd rate actor as the male lead ( does he know some one in the cvs group?)--reason I say this is he did not bring ant ratings for the show ---as does not have much fan following

Yes, agree. Once again it's proved who is the TRP getter. The one who was able to get the TRPs was sidelined by dear CVs and the importance was given to a clown. And, for Mahi's kind information promotion of a show doesn't come in the way of TRPs. If the story and actors are good the viewers will get attracted automatically.

Good news. Thanks for sharing. Not unexpected though.

The show actually ended in January 2015, when they killed one of the most prominent characters and filled Anandi's life with unending miseries. From there it was nothing but a rubber being stretched beyond its limits with most illogical and bizzare twists.

Wish the makers have realized it at the right time that the show has run its course.

Nonetheless, it was a path breaking show in its golden days which gave Indian television few of its most memorable characters and made all of the actors household names. It will always remain close to my heart!!

Thanks to the entire pre leap team of BalikaVadhu for giving us a memorable show 👏

This is not an unexpected news.

Real BV ended with Anandi's death and exit of the team which created this path breaking show in 2008.

Thank the channel PH and the entire PRE LEAP team for coming up with a show called Balika Vadhu which gave us the beautiful story of Anandi and some memorable characters along with Anandi.

Not unexpected

They should never have gone for leap In fact not for even 11 years leap in 2015 It was complete unnecessary The story logically should have ended with settling Anandi and Jagya's respective lives but they completely destroyed Anandi to make her daughter's story This revamping the show by killing and disappearing the main characters and only having Nandini and her illogical story could never work because it never had any sense

The show had run its course long ago but the channel realized it only now after using every possible formula to drag it

Anyways i am happy they decided to end it before bringing more disgrace to original BV with this revamped version

I had some great experience with this show before this revamped version which i will always remember fondly This serial gave me one of my most favorite actors Shashank Vyas because of whom this show will always be very special for me and one of my most favorite on screen couple Jagya Ganga I loved Jagya and Ganga's characters individually too

I don't have any fond memory from this revamped version of BV because it was never original BV for me It was complete forced , illogical with poorest possible performances and i was expecting it to fail so i am not surprised it is closing within 3 months of its launch

Not unexpected at all

Generation leap wasn't needed at all, I'm a AS fan too, I don't think he could've saved the show either.


So if the news is true, great. The show had a good run and nothing last forever

Still used to watch till anandi was alive with an expectation kabhi Ansh Ki Ansh Ki story dikhai de kabhi anandi remembers shiv got some glimpses
But post April 2016 the cast story was pukish
Neither Avinash nor rushlan neither the great lead heroine could hold trp
But wise decision how long can you keep the fat
I will remember balika for Shyam shugna for Sumi bhairo choti aji n Jaggu
Basant gehna the villian Jagya the vamp Gauri bad girl Sanchi Sanchi n

Sad, but not surprised.
A good show came to an end not expected to be like such.
Actors wee good, but the story was not well written. They could have Nadini a more mature and intelligent girl showing her like an IPS officer and giving Kundan thousand slaps.

The characters let down the show , not the actors.

Anyway I will watch the show for remaining period.
