I write this as several fellow members...have mentioned that Ganga may die ...whether this is from knowledge or guesswork or just simple deduction I don't care as...I have the greatest respect for those who have said what is to happen in the future in past episodes.

Therefore I come to this serial which when it started was a great serial not good but great in my opinion. It has its moments of anger, sorrow, happiness, tragedy and comedy...Most actors played their parts well...Surekha was brilliant along with Avika.

Then came the Leap...and a change of actors as expected because of the age factor...we got used to the new actors...and even if there were divided opinions when Jagya left Anandi...to me there was a touch of reality in this drama serial...good or bad is not what I am questioning here.

The reality is that these things do happen when children grow up and discover their own wants and wishes...again how it was handled could be questioned but that is not a major issue with me as each one of us will see it differently.

How it ended leaves a lot to be desired...since members still feel that Gauri will come back.

Anandi finds happiness...and then an actor change again...I have nothing against changing of actors it happens all over the world in long running serials as long as the basic nature, characteristic, mannerism and intonation of the actor resembles to a large degree the one he or she is replacing. I make no comment on the actor as this is about the storyline.

Now I hear that Ganga is going to leave.

What the creatives should have done was to end it once Anandi was settled and Ganga moved into Jagya's house leaving it to the imagination of the viewers whether Ganga and Jagya would get together or not.

INSTEAD...screaming shouting Saanchi, Ira, Sumitra...issues upon issues..matters still unresolved...good characters changing again...

Shiv's character ruined for a while...Anandi back to preaching...now Adoption...Shiv's adoption...Wild man with flowing beard...Meenu (a character I really liked) looking morose...Alok as usual a nonentity for me...Ganga with more health problems...Ultimate sacrifice to have J's son...

What are they doing ...End this farce

If necessary start another BV with different characters, ...good actors...different scenario and different results...give it a break and I can guarantee if BV2 goes the way BV went in the initial stages it will draw viewers...Now what we are seeing is mindless, boring , unbelievable and not even exciting drama.

I do agree with what you have got to say.
Thing is that Anandi's story did not end with her marriage to another man.Marriage was never her goal in life.She wanted to be an instrument which brought change into people's lives.
When she was a child while all the girls of her age or content to get married and be happy and excited at the sight of their wedding celebrations she wanted to be a teacher when she grew up.
I don't know whether she wanted to be a teacher or it is just that she wanted to be different.
They got her married and she ended up as a wife and bahu of a different family.
But is that what she wanted from life?

Anandi's journey has not reached her destination.

Coming to Jagya - Yes when he grew up he wanted a life that is different from the kind of life he was born into.He threw away all that to make a life for himself according to his own wishes and he got that but he was not happy with it.
So he was given a second chance to make his choices and make peace with the kind of life he was born into.So they made him juggle Ganga and Sanchi and finally he chose Ganga over Sanchi and made his family accept her and he is happy with his life.

In all this his struggle to put his past behind got side tracked.

Instead of showing Anandi's journey to freedom and Anandi flying with her husband being the wind beneath her wings we see so much drama involving her husband's family.Anandi's dream of having her own identity and freedom to do what she always wanted to do is yet to be fulfilled

Instead of Jagya making right choices and laying the past to rest we see unwanted scenarios like Ganga's complicated pregnancy.

The issue is that journey of Anandi and Jagya has not reached it's logical destination.They are so many side tracks and distractions.
Instead of showing all these they should just show focus on reaching their destinations and end it there.
May be start a new season with same characters and fresh goals for them to achieve.

completely agree with u👍🏼
both Jagya and Anandi had gotten wonderful partners,cvs should focus on how both J and A getting success in personally and professionally with help of their respective partners,instead cvs throwing us in pathetic tracks like shiv's past,mahi-ashima,sanchi and Ganga's pregnancy,new villian,etc...

Maybe what you say is right...BUT
sadly our creativity is dictated by TRP's and DRAMA...believe me when I say that most are fed up with the sidey tracks and distractions...before some message comes through.

We will be waiting endlessly on a road which has no end in sight.

If the intention was to show Anandi's ambitions and for Jagya to realise his dreams...it was diluted a long time ago by other stupid useless dramatic side shows...and will continue to be further diluted.

Serials like this have a life span and BV has outlived it...it is only surviving because of the screaming drama...we Forum members are but a drop in the ocean of viewership.

Anyway...YOU members make sense...the cvs and the serial doesn't anymore for me. If I watch or read updates it will be more out of habit than a need to watch.

Balika Vadhu started as a classic show It was one among the very few shows that touched the viewers hearts with its powerful story and theme The cvs touched the nuances of child marriage and its repercussions on children who are tied in marriage bond at that age when they don't even know what marriage is all about. Along with it they have dealt wjth many other social issues too but in my opinion from where cvs started to make blunders and show lost its essence was when they butchered Jagya's character and made him cheat Anandi . Here i must say they strayed from their main theme and went on to only create a Patni Pati and woh drama

Of course Jagya going to Mumbai to live his dreams and falling for Gauri was the most realistic track they could show but in that there was absolutely no need to butcher his character . The ideal story should have been Him divorcing Anandi and marrying Gauri out of his choice . Singhs would definitely have opposed this but at the end cvs have to make Singhs realize their mistake they were wrong in getting their son married at such a young age They should open their minds and accept their son's choice whole heartedly and Gauri should have been a new girl not that girl who was married to Jagya in childhood and they could show Anandi going back to her home in Bilaria and restart her life Complete her education , work for the welfare of women like the way she has been working . Work for her hometown and make it a better place and finally someday she could meet Shiv and marry him

Now in this way cvs could give a good message against child marriage but unfortunately cvs opted for stupid drama and chose wrong way instead of right way like most serial creatives and ended up butchering Jagya's character , Gauri's shouting , Gauri's revenge obsession , Singhs slaps session to Jagya and cursing you died for us this that .

Finally another chance they got They had a lot of scope in Anandi Shiv and Jagya Ganga's story They could show a lot but again they chose the stupid drama over sensible story line Unnecessary tangling Anandi Jagya's story every time , Unnecessary Sanchi's drama, Ganga an abused woman more abuses for her from Sumitra and now this rushed pregnancy for Ganga with death hovering on her head while they could easily show surrogacy here if she cannot conceive . Surrogacy is not a bad message Mostly serials use this for drama but BV cvs could have shown it in positive light that would have spread good message but no and if cvs are planning killing Ganga then i must say thats the worst twist they can bring ever This serial claims to give social messages i wonder what social message they will give on it ? Nothing . The writers have completely lost the grip on the serial and before it gets Uttaran like treatment I don't watch that serial anymore Quit it long ago but heard it is forced to shut down in December Its better BV cvs save their dignity and shut the show on a positive note that means no killing of Ganga and let us cherish the beautiful memories of BV that we have .

i think they should have got ansh and jagan happily married and ended their tracks and serial right there...that would ahve been perfect endign as all the problems related to bal vivah happened with jaan would be over and even otherrural problems are solved...then start a new season of BV with different storyline and different characters (but i don't noew how and on what will they start new saeson of BV...they have covered almost every problem of rural areas except for inter-caste or inter-religion marriage)

Agree completely with mahi.there was no need to butcher jagyas character to show child marriage is wrong. What was that anandi crying buckets and singh's cursing their own son. Is it real? But jagya falling in love at right age that is early twenties is real. But not handled well. Why was anandi kept with singh's. She could have easily gone to her parents. Then jagya coming back and singh's throwing him out which no one does even for their worst enemies. Then sarural maika drama, sanchi drama, anandi and shivs unlimited mahanta drama, now this adoption drama. And Ganga's pregnancy drama. The way it was handled also unreal..but I guess desi tv is all full of it.l really don't get how these shows get High trps. And what is the need to run for so many years. Don't the writers also want to do something different.aren't they tired of their own story.how much will they draag and for what ?

My thoughts exactly.
isn't butchering of characters and negativity spreading like a virus in many of these serials?? I don't watch any other hindi serial but I read posts. ..wonder what it will take for it to sink into our esteemed writers heads.

agree with you.
although it had a great start and continued after the leap, recently they completely ruined it. i think they should start wraping up all the tracks and show a happy ending.
