Meet the grown up Anandi, Anand and Jigar as Balika Vadhu takes 9-year leap

Anandi’s journey has been endearing so far and only gets better when she educates herself and pursues her passion.

Now, the time has come for her to gear up for the next phase of life. Colors’ Balika Vadhu is all set for a time leap with the main leads, who will be now seen as young adults.

While popular actor Shivangi Joshi will be seen playing the protagonist Anandi, Randeep Rai and Samridh Bawa will be portraying the characters of Anand and Jigar, respectively. Sharing her thoughts on playing Anandi on-screen, Shivangi says, “Essaying Anandi on screen will be one of the celebrated characters I have played, and I am totally looking forward to it. Her story represents all the women who have been suppressed by the patriarchy prevailing in society and how she begins rewriting destiny by breaking the stereotypes.”

Randeep opens up on stepping into Anand’s shoes saying, “Anand is extremely responsible and tends to walk the path of righteousness and forever indebted to his family for adopting him. I am excited to play this role and hope that the audience enjoys watching me in this virtuous avatar.”

Geared up to portray Jigar’s character, Samridh says, “Portraying a complicated character like Jigar is a big challenge. It has many shades. I am looking forward to working with Colors yet again and excited to begin this new journey.”
