Mumbai:
Popular
TV
series
Balika
Vadhu,
which
is
aired
on
Colors,
is
all
set
break
a
stigma
attached
to
widows
by
showing
Surekha
Sikri
aka
dadisa
participating
in
the
wedding
celebrations
of
Anandi
(Pratyusha
Banerjee).
Surekha
gushes
that
she
is
setting
a
good
example
by
applying
Mehendi
on
Anandi's
hands.
Talking
to
PTI,
Surekha
Sikri
says,
"Anandi
will
tie
the
knot
with
Shiv
(Siddharth
Shukla)
after
she
divorced
her
husband
Jagdish
(Shashank
Vyas)
and
the
auspicious
ceremony
will
see
dadisa
and
Shiv's
choti
maa
(aunty),
who
are
widows,
putting
mehandi
on
the
bride
and
groom's
hand.
I
will
be
seen
applying
Mehendi
on
my
hands
and
also
applying
it
on
Anandi's
hands
thereby
setting
an
example."
Surekha
Sikri
is
proud
to
be
the
part
of
this
serial.
She
adds,
"With
this,
we
are
establishing
the
fact
that
a
widow
can
be
a
part
of
something
as
auspicious
as
a
bride's
Mehendi
ceremony
and
there
is
no
harm
in
it.
I
have
been
part
of
Balika
Vadhu
for
so
long
and
these
customs
will
certainly
be
an
eye
opener."
