She's
all
of
11,
but
knows
the
gravity
of
the
social
menace
that
is
child
marriage.
Child
artist
Gracy
Goswami,
who
plays
a
child
bride
in
TV
show
Balika
Vadhu
post
its
leap,
says
it
is
important
to
portray
a
role
with
conviction
on
screen
to
send
out
a
strong
message
to
the
audience.
"I'm
playing
a
very
important
character
in
a
very
popular
show,
which
is
a
big
achievement
in
itself.
I
enjoy
playing
the
role
as
I
feel
that
if
we
want
to
give
out
a
message
to
the
audience,
then
we
have
to
do
it
properly.
Only
then
they
will
understand
it," Gracy
told
over
phone
from
Mumbai.
Gracy's
character
named
Nimboli
has
been
introduced
in
the
Colors' show
after
its
makers
introduced
an
11-year
leap
in
the
narrative
of
the
long-running
show.
She
is
Anandi's
daughter,
who
has
been
kidnapped
and
finds
herself
bound
by
the
chains
that
plagued
Anandi's
own
childhood
--
child
marriage.
The
Baroda
resident
also
mentioned
that
her
"school
teachers
explained
to
her
the
concept
of
child
marriage".
Meanwhile,
Gracy
is
enjoying
being
part
of
the
show
and
grasping
new
things
on
the
sets.
"I'm
enjoying
doing
the
show.
I
am
learning
a
lot
of
new
things
from
my
fellow
actors.
It
is
very
exciting
as
well.
I
feel
fresh
and
energised
after
shooting
for
the
show," she
said.
Asked
about
how
she
landed
the
role,
she
was
quick
to
narrate
the
whole
process:
"I
gave
an
audition
for
the
role.
I
got
the
script
which
I
performed
convincingly,
and
I
got
a
call
next
day
saying
that
I
have
been
selected
and
this
is
how
I
became
Nimboli."
What
about
studies?
"I
study
whenever
I
get
free
time
while
shooting
for
the
show," she
said.
When
"Balika
Vadhu"
began
seven
years
ago,
then
child
actress
Avika
Gor
had
embodied
the
role
of
Anandi.
Avika
has
grown
up
to
be
a
successful
TV
actress
ever
since.
