Whoever, they did not kill it but slaughtered it in front of loyal viewers.
A question which we are all asking since long , but there is no one left here to answer !!!
What a show it was ! We were attracted towards it because we all sensed that it is a new type of serial which has a substantial substance in it , one of the social evils of our time was discussing in it at length . How we all wondered while watching it every night ritualistically and after a certain time , forgot that we are watching a serial , it was so real to us , we all cried for the sufferings of child Anandi like her real mother , later watched that small girl's triumphs and tirades with great interest , tried to understand the people of rural areas with rich Zamindars with their feudalistic attitudes , the intricacies in joint families and the consequences of that unity in diversity, later the protagonist's adulthood and the shackles she had to bear while entering in to family life , the autocratic Daadisa and her unquestioned authority , the blindly following sons and the dumb DILs [ the society expected them like that ] at that time ,like a ray of hope to the next generation , later to every generation , means previous , present and later ones ,Anandi entered with her wisdom , with her logical questioning , with her convincing methods , she tried to improve the lives of many people in her village as well as in the near by villages too .
I know , we all know the story , but reminding you all because , it is nothing but I am recollecting those golden episodes of this once up on a time's great serial , a trend setter !
How many episodes we re-viewed and reviewed like obsessive audience , then at that time , every episode was very interesting , how restless we used to be when there was no show in weekends !
We were emotionally attached to that character Anandi ,
irrespective of their age , education , occupation , social strata , all language people ,all states ,countries ,continents ,unimaginable impact of that character's portrayal by a child first then an young... beautiful girl , later another actress . We love her, adore her, appreciate her ,started imagining her as an important part of our lives.
When and where , why and what for we lost our Balika Vadhu ? I wondered , it is very painful to see the demise of one of the greatest tele character in such a brutal way , in a violent incident without any meaningful ending , no proper last rites , no tribute at all ????!!!
Thank you leaves for reminding us what a great serial it was once up on a time !😊


Agree with each and every word in this post!!

We loved Dadisa, Anandi, Jagya, Sumitra, Basant, Bhairon and Gehna ! Just cant relate with the current cast of Nandini, Krish, Premal, Sudha, Dr Amit and Karuna

Never ever thought LeavesandWaves that it would come to this day when we would write about the show ending with a sense of relief and not regret

How systematically they have ruined the show.. The more I see the rerun in Tamil (now showing the Sanchi infatuation with Jagya phase) more I realize what a powerful story & star cast it was

But all good things come to an end .. here it became bad and met its end :(

Bold --- Kase, your these priceless words made me to write that separate post as Gestation , Manifestation and Mutation of our Balika Vadhu ! These words evoked an emotional outburst from this loyal viewer's heart . 🤗

Surprising @leaves - you were among the few viewers who was supporting LPK.
In an recent interview the actor playing Anandi said, actually after the first leap as an actor she felt that the story is not going anywhere. Even she was fed up with Jhalara and Nimbuli story.
You are right - their greed for TRPs.
The team thought instead of showing a nice pregnancy track and happy Anandi with children and husband ; widow anandi s story will attract viewers and in parallel they will bring up Nimbuli as second Anandi. But within the process - they showed a widow under patronage of ex husband and his family and her 'DADISA'. Her fight her struggle to live, find her daughter was pushed behind to highlight new family s story, her ex husband's kids story, her ex husband's wife's insecurity.
Where was Anandi and her bacche?
Even when she found her daughter with help of others, and viewers wanted to see how she raised her kids as a single mother they were busy with Mahri Chori drama, and a doctor's love story.
There is another show - where the male lead has left , the daughter was lost; but they did not make the lead die, they did not make the female lead weak and under patronage of some ex husband; the mother is there - the kids are growing up, and now the father will also be back in the form of new actor.
I will not buy the logic that being in the industry the team did not know what is viewer's choice. And they cannot change story according to people's desire. Only thing is that some one sabotaged the show, may be rival channel member joined the rangeela and stabbed BV till it died.
LPK and its actor - It could have sold because story can be changed, but the lead - they cannot be tolerated for one min.

Mercilessly they slaughtered the sentiments of their loyal viewers . The hurt is overwhelmingly profound , which shattered our belief that Anandi was immortal , will be there forever ! We lost a classic character which has the capability to make a child prodigy as a wonderful actress , had made a new comer as a talented world renowned actress , never expected such a fate to our Anandi .😲
At the end of this show ,instead of acknowledging for their creativity , we are all expressing our displeasure for their misdeeds to this once' great show, for this one of the greatest characters in Indian TV industry !

Slow poising is the word
1. They slaughtered sentiments of some viewers when they killed one liked character - Shiv.
2. They hurt sentiments repeatedly by showing Anandi as a standby and giving others more footage. Every TOM DICK HARRY was smarter than Lead.
3. They went for mass murdering to murder the show. The way Anandi was protecting her kids fighting with Akhiraj why was the spark not shown post leap.
So it is a fact that they wanted to kill it and they did.
