If
there
is
one
thing
that
everyone
wishes
for,
it
is
that
their
children
do
not
go
through
the
hardships
that
they
have
faced
in
their
own
life.
The
story
will
come
a
full
circle
on
COLORS'
flagship
show,
Balika
Vadhu
as
an
11-year
leap
sets
the
stage
for
a
new
era
led
by
Anandi's
daughter,
Nimboli
whose
lost
childhood
is
shrouded
by
the
travails
of
being
a
child
bride.
Leading
a
chaste
life
with
the
only
family
she
has
truly
known
since
birth,
it
is
Nimboli's
endearing
personality
that
pulls
at
the
heartstrings
of
everyone
around
her.
As
the
show
becomes
the
longest
running
daily
drama
series
on
Indian
television
with
maximum
number
of
episodes,
Nimboli's
journey
on
Balika
Vadhu
kicks
off
starting
4th
March,
2015
and
will
air
every
Monday
to
Saturday
at
8:00
PM
on
COLORS.
Commenting
on
the
new
age
dawning
in
Balika
Vadhu,
Raj
Nayak,
CEO
-
COLORS,
said,
"The
success
of
Balika
Vadhu
is
synonymous
with
our
success
as
an
entertainment
channel
because
it
become
a
key
identifier
for
our
offerings
to
viewers.
Over
the
years,
Balika
Vadhu
has
become
a
global
phenomenon
through
characters
which
resonate
with
viewers
across
the
world.
As
we
now
enter
a
new
phase
on
the
show,
with
the
promise
to
showcase
newer
entertainment
avenues,
we
are
proud
to
celebrate
the
milestone
of
being
the
longest
running
fiction
drama
on
Indian
television.
This
landmark
achievement
could
not
have
been
possible
without
our
viewers'
unending
love
and
relentless
support
and
the
hardwork
of
our
creative
team
and
our
producers".
As
the
story
moves
forward
by
11
years,
Balika
Vadhu
will
now
highlight
the
life
of
Anandi's
daughter
Nandini
who,
unknown
to
her
mother,
has
been
subjected
to
a
thali
wedding
when
kidnapped
as
an
infant.
A
single
mother
and
widow,
Anandi's
heart
cries
out
for
her
missing
daughter.
But,
she
eventually
finds
solace
in
becoming
a
social
activist
after
establishing
a
gurukul
for
women
who
have
been
wronged
in
life.
Even
as
Anandi's
yearning
for
her
daughter
continues
to
grow
over
the
years
as
she
prays
for
her
daughter's
welfare,
Nandini
is
rechristened
as
Nimboli
by
her
tough-to-please
in-laws
who
consider
her
to
be
as
bitter
as
the
fruit
of
a
neem
tree.
Nimboli
has
one
dream...to
be
free
and
enjoy
her
life,
but
her
dreams
are
quashed
by
her
insensitive
in-laws
and
husband.
Growing
up
in
a
household
where
gender
bias
and
inequality
are
the
way
of
life,
Nimboli
finds
an
ally
in
Mangala
Devi
who
is
her
guiding
light
and
supporter
through
every
hardship
that
comes
her
way.
Commenting
on
the
new
era,
Manisha
Sharma,
Programming
Head
-
COLORS,
said,
"After
entertaining
viewers
through
a
record-breaking
no
of
episodes,
Balika
Vadhu
is
now
ready
for
a
brand
new
chapter
to
unfurl
in
the
lives
of
Anandi
and
her
children.
The
unpredictable
journey
peppered
by
sharp
twists
in
Anandi's
journey
has
enabled
us
to
deliver
meaningful
content
to
our
viewers
every
single
day.
Over
the
past
7
years,
we
have
not
only
showcased
the
story
of
a
child
bride,
but
also
touched
upon
various
issues
such
as
adult
education,
widow
remarriage,
adoption
and
many
more
which
have
established
Anandi
as
the
face
of
change.
And
now,
as
Nimboli's
life
as
the
new
Balika
Vadhu
is
about
to
begin,
the
story
comes
a
full
circle
with
child
marriage
being
at
the
helm
of
a
new
journey
on
the
show."
Speaking
about
the
new
phase
in
the
show,
Toral
Rasputra
aka
Anandi,
said,
"Balika
Vadhu
has
been
all
about
Anandi
for
the
past
7
years.
And
now,
as
Anandi's
daughter
finds
herself
caught
in
the
same
situation
and
history
is
repeating
itself,
a
new
journey
is
set
to
begin...from
the
eyes
from
Nimboli.
Over
the
years,
Anandi's
stature
has
grown
by
leaps
and
bounds,
and
she
has,
today,
become
the
voice
of
reason
which
the
entire
country
looks
up
to.
Portraying
the
character
of
a
mother
whose
child
has
been
snatched
from
her
arms
has
many
emotional
nuances
which
have
helped
me
grow
as
an
actor.
I
hope
that
the
viewers
are
supportive
of
this
new
undertaking
in
Balika
Vadhu
and
give
as
much
love
to
Nimboli
as
they
have
to
Anandi."
As
the
story
Balika
Vadhu
readies
to
move
forward,
COLORS
has
roped
in
11-year-old
Baroda
resident,
Gracy
Goswami
to
portray
the
character
of
young
Nimboli
whose
life
and
dreams
have
been
compromised
since
she
was
an
infant.
Stepping
into
the
shoes
of
Anandi's
daughter,
Gracy
Goswami
aka
Nimboli
said,
"For
more
than
a
year
now,
I
have
watched
Balika
Vadhu
with
my
mother
and
wondered
it
is
like
for
young
girls
who
find
themselves
trapped
in
this
situation.
Nimboli
is
much
like
me
-
a
mischievous
young
girl
with
a
whole
lot
of
questions
in
her
mind.
Balika
Vadhu
is
an
educative
show
highlighting
the
wrongs
that
happen
in
our
society,
and
I
feel
extremely
lucky
to
be
playing
the
daughter
of
an
inspirational
character
like
Anandi.
I
hope
that
fans
of
the
show
enjoy
watching
me
on
screen
and
support
my
character."
Speaking
about
the
leap,
producer
Sunjoy
Waddhwa
from
Sphere
Origins
said,
"When
we
launched
Balika
Vadhu,
little
did
we
know
that
the
show
will
become
the
phenomenon
that
changed
the
face
of
Indian
television
to
what
it
is
today.
It
is
extremely
satisfying
for
us
to
see
the
show's
popularity
continue
soar
as
Balika
Vadhu
becomes
the
longest
running
drama
on
television.
Balika
Vadhu
has
been
a
beacon
of
change
in
the
society
and
we
hope
that
the
fresh
perspective
through
the
eyes
of
Nimboli
will
continue
to
find
mass
appeal
amongst
viewers
across
the
country."
Nimboli's
(Gracy
Goswami)
endearing
and
heartwarming
story
on
Balika
Vadhu
will
be
supported
by
a
volley
of
fresh
characters
including
Nimboli's
husband
Kundan
(Sparsh
Srivastav),
her
confidante
Mangala
Devi
(Rajeshwari
Sachdev),
father-in-law
Akheraj
Singh
(Sunil
Singh),
mother-in-law
Harkhi
Devi
(Rudrakshi
Gupta)
and
Akheraj's
older
daughter
Naini
(Farah
Hussain)
and
Shivam
(Viren
Varzani)
as
her
distanced
twin
brother
among
others.
Nimboli's
journey
to
find
herself
on
Balika
Vadhu
will
go
on-air
starting
4th
March,
2015
and
will
air
every
Monday
to
Saturday
at
8:00
PM
on
