Dear CVs,
I have always been a very proud viewer of Balika Vadhu, right from episode 1. Proud because yours was the only show which actually stuck to the story line right from the start...proud because you never gave in to the TRP game...proud because you had the courage to break away from streotypical over-the-top characters and showed REAL people, who were both good & bad. I have seen many Balaji shows with passion, but Balika Vadhu was the only show I openly accepted that I saw.
From the beginning you have excelled in each department - whether it was casting, scripting, directing - everything. You tackled various issues related to Bal Vivah and made us aware of so many important things which we may have never known, had it not been for you esp the law about the legality of bal vivah and the rights of the children involved. All your characters somewhere had some good in them - Basant, Dadisa, Gauri, Jagya - no one was a villain in the true sense of the word. They were all human being like us who had their own faults but also had good in them. There was a clear-cut path of redemption marked out for each and you had always shown people reforming for the better be it Basant or Dadisa or even Mahavir Singh. Somewhere we could identify with all your characters...we could empathise with them, emote with them!
When Anjum Farooqi left the show because of her marriage, I was sure that you will replace her with some other actress since you were never the ones who would leave issues vague & without closing the loop. But for the first time you proved me wrong. Not only was Anjum not replaced, there was no satisfactory explanation for Gauri's sudden & complete absence from the show.
That also would have been fine if you had not suddenly & brutally massacred the characters of Jagya , Dadisa and also Basant & Gehna.
You showed that Jagya, realizes all his errors just a few episodes earlier and vows to do 'prayashchit' for all his mistakes. So he comes back to Jaitsar only to realise that even his beloved Dadisa & Anandi are unwilling to forgive him for what he has done. After such good intentions, it took only one rejection from Anandi to transport Jagya to the proverbial dark side. In just one episode, Jagya underwent the transformation from a selfish, self-centered, shallow, weak, but still essential having some good in him to a character so dark that he has no scope for ever coming back home.
Dadisa - arguably the strongest character on television in many many years - has been reduced to a caricature and a miserable shadow of her previous self. Yes, she always loved Jagya more than the world. But she had been shown to change after seeing the hell her beloved grandson had put Anandi thru. The lecture Dadisa gives him in the hospital made us feel proud of BV writers again, where she tells him that she can forgive him for what he has done to the family but she cannot forgive him for he did with Anandi.One can understand her eagerness to believe that Jagya has improved and wanting him back. So far so good. But why make her want Anandi to accpet him back in her life? Where has all the love & concern for Anandi vanished? It got washed away in a few tears of Jagya? Dadisa was never so weak and she always stood by her word & honour - no matter what. This is not the Dadisa you had scripted at the start.
Coming to Basant & Gehna - Is this the same Gehna who was shown slapping her son coz he met his Jagdish Bhaisa? Where is the Gehna who was always ANandi's coulsellor & inspiration? Basant wanted to throw Jagya out coz he had sold his grandfather's locket, but now he is willing to accept him back? Just because Jagya saved Nandu?
My grievance is not abt these fictional characters or abt wanting AnSh together. My problem is the message which will eventually get conveyed thru your show. Balika Vadhu is not any run-of-the-mill show which is abt love & its problems. NO - Balika Vadhu is, rather was, a very sincere attempt to get across a strong message & effect a social change. And you were succeeding as well. By introducing Shiv & his family you showed that there are progressive people as well. When the Singh family decides to get Anandi remarried, it gave hope to many parents that not all girls get unjust in-laws. But from the track which is been shown for the past month or so, you have destroyed all that you had ever built.
What are you people trying to prove? That at the end of the nothing matters more than your own son? That ultimately blood turns out to be thicker than water? That in-laws, no matter how good, will care for the DIL, but only till the son returns?
Please don't do this. Don't spoil the message which was slowly but surely reaching the masses in the interiors of the country. Television is a very strong medium and you have used it very wisely till now. Please act responsibly and give the correct message.
Otherwise please wrap up the show and leave us with fond memories

But for the first time you proved me wrong. Not only was Anjum not replaced, there was no satisfactory explanation for Gauri's sudden & complete absence from the show.here i feel cvs were very badly trapped 😆yes they haven't shown proper closure of her character and the way they changed story overnight after her exit was disappointing and complete nonsense but i don't think Gauri can so easily be replaced with another actress .the reason all the past memories they have to show .if you see they need to rewind their story in Jagaya's realization because the show has got many new viewers as well i think it is very important to tell viewers what is going on in his mind what realization he is having and what moments he is remembering to say where he was wrong ?he is remembering his arrival at haveli with Gauri after getting married with her so those all scenes were shot with Anjum how many they can re-shoot with new actress.😆similarly how will Gauri's character make her come back as negative again ?then i don't think she deserves any chance from anyone previously her character was massacred so much cvs never left any proper space for her where we could say yes here she has shown any remorse on her wrong action .For Jagaya they have always left space for him for realization but they made such a mess of him now and about Gauri we were hopeless she will ever realize anything 😆if she redeemed then again i think she needs to go through a hard core realization session for her so many wrong works and viewers need to see it instead of her just coming and falling on everyone's feet sorry .then again problem for cvs how many previous scenes they can re-shoot with new actress ?which needs to come in her realizationand i still don't understand how they will bring Gauri back ? will they bring her back in Jagaya's life ?..Jagaya Gauri reunion which i feel if this is some Ekta show then i would say ok anything can happen here but this show provides social message with it so how they can prove what these two did how they made their relation as right by tagging their relation as true love .true relation ?.These two had a Bal vivah as well from which Gauri and her mother were never over Gauri was the girl who was given a chance to move on in her life after her Bal vivah but she chose to cling to her past by again and again insulting Singhs that was huge injustice done to her she wasn't allowed to marry Jagaya in her childhood even Anandi;s words to Gauri were if Life were to give me a second choice I will not accept the bal vivah again. You accepted it and you failed but I will not fail. so now how they can prove all what Gauri did as right ?The relation whose foundation is so wrong and very big social taboo in many societies giving it true love relation tag in a way is encouraging people to do so but then do accept your mistakes but your relation is true love true relation ?..Thrice Jagaya Gauri's marriage attempt was made and thrice after home wrecking of innocent Anandi thrice failed so fourth time successful after Anandi's marriage where at least Gauri played no part to give Anandi anything what she lost because of her so in a way their reunion will be proving all these attempts as right only Singhs were wrong they should have thrown Anandi out or got her remarried before so Jagaya Gauri did no mistake their relation was true from childhood 😕 in my opinion Jagaya Gauri reunion will be huge mess up with this story of the serial and the social message encouraging people to do what these two did because their relation had always been true ?so like you i will say television is a very strong medium and influence a lot people's thinking in a very powerful way and this serial has one more thing it preaches morals to people delivers social message against many issues of society so this reunion will be very harmful ..Under banner of social message they should show such relations don't exist so people refrain from doing what these two did how they made their relation ?i always thought Gauri's character will be put to a closure at Jagaya Gauri break up but with this pregnancy twist i don't understand where this serial is heading to?But i think they will be letting this suspense out after AnSh marriageThat also would have been fine if you had not suddenly & brutally massacred the characters of Jagya , Dadisa and also Basant & Gehna.Agree
You showed that Jagya, realizes all his errors just a few episodes earlier and vows to do 'prayashchit' for all his mistakes.

In just one episode, Jagya underwent the transformation from a selfish, self-centered, shallow, weak, but still essential having some good in him to a character so dark that he has no scope for ever coming back home.
Agree with you that was really a disappointment after making Jagaya going through a realization session showing him much improved from his previous self the Jagaya who came home married with Gauri just look at him how he was defending himself with attitude in front of his family no i did no wrong this one has gone through a realization session and even knew forgiveness is not easy for him cvs spent so many episodes on making him cry scream remember his mistakes blame himself solely for what he did , ask forgiveness for all his wrong doings but when forgiveness not given to him within two episodes they took U turn with him and turned him negative 😲forcing new traits in him which were never present in him before a deliberate intent to destroy someone as a revenge planning and plotting for it .That was such an abrupt move from them very disappointing .now i guess Times of India's slap hit them very hard because that is one source which actually will reach them so they immediately dropped Jagaya's revenge plans in a blink of eye and they even forgot their famous fight of good and bad this time which they have shown two times before ?.this negative turn was really disappointing move from cvs and done in an extremely poor way .unfair with Jagaya's character when he has been shown going through a continuous process of change for more than a year ..through a battle betwen Good and bad..Good building gulit in him, made him do many good selflessly for his family even for Anandi. With this battle of good and bad they took him to his realization of his past mistakes where good became very much heavy on bad but cvs later abruptly painted him complete dark for what ?for one not so much required twist which is so unfair with theme and story of this serial and has no satisfying end ?unfair with Jagaya 's character when he has always space of realization and redemption and returning to his birth family so why push him into complete darkness after making him realize his mistakes which shows his soul is not dead but you suddenly thought of killing his soul you are pushing him at this place where there is no way back for him to his family? .Does Singhs deserve this punishment of losing him forever NO? so why cvs did it ? Bad writing very bad writing indeed no consistency in story
Dadisa - arguably the strongest character on television in many many years - has been reduced to a caricature and a miserable shadow of her previous self. Yes, she always loved Jagya more than the world. But she had been shown to change after seeing the hell her beloved grandson had put Anandi thru.

Dadisa was never so weak and she always stood by her word & honour - no matter what. This is not the Dadisa you had scripted at the start.
Agree they messed up with Dadisaa so badly disappointing ..you are very right this dadisaa is not the one who was scripted from the start ..i want to ask a question from writer of this show you scripted dadisaa as a woman whether she was good or bad she never could back away from her decisions so easily whether her most beloved person her grandson throw how many tears ..when she got him married to Gauri in childhood though there she was thinking of only his welfare but how much bitterly Jagaya was crying there he don't want to marry Gauri she didn't care something she decided even her grandson's tears could not make her think for once there i should back away from this decision. That Dadisaa was having so much backward thinking, was wrong ..This Dadisaa has progressed so much in her thinking started placing Anandi and Jagaya in same balance she refused to forgive Jagaya saying here the thing is not your and mine relation that i will forgive you but what you have done with my GRANDDAUGHTER it is not easy for me to forgive that .ater i can understand why her heart went soft her motherly love and also her own guilt she is responsible for his this condition for spoiling him the most in childhood so thats ok understandable but come on cvs you have shown her so much progressed and improved from her previous self so how she flew in Jagaya's tears so easily and went on to ask Anandi such a thing ?😲it means the dadisaa who was so backward in her thinking was more strong than the one who improved so much .with her improvement she grew weak otherwise previous one could not ok we leave Anandi here but this woman previously could never back away from her decisions so easily despite how much jagaya cries so what is this new trait in her that too when she has improved so much . Disappointing move again very bad very bad writing no consistency in story
Coming to Basant & Gehna - Is this the same Gehna who was shown slapping her son coz he met his Jagdish Bhaisa? Where is the Gehna who was always ANandi's coulsellor & inspiration? Basant wanted to throw Jagya out coz he had sold his grandfather's locket, but now he is willing to accept him back? Just because Jagya saved Nandu?Agree in fact i will say with actress change Gehna's character is reduced to nothing this character was lot strong and sensible and use to play a very important role when Neha was playing it now what is her role instead of standing sajh sawar k , throw tears , cook food thats it

Otherwise please wrap up the show and leave us with fond memoriesi am afraid this is not going to happen but if they get their dead brains alive again that will be so good too but indeed they have no way to justify this mess they have created now which made us hopeless from them .Now if they will pull everyone out of this mess our views for this show will only be when good happens accept it when not close your eyes forget sense but even common sense from this serial why because for creating nonsense drama and dragging cvs can stoop to every limit..mess up their progressive story in such a nonsense way
