Avika
Gor
had
become
a
household
name
for
her
performance
as
Anandi
in
the
popular
show
Balika
Vadhu.
Not
only
did
she
become
synonymous
with
the
character
but
the
show
also
created
a
huge
impact
with
its
social
message
on
evils
surrounding
child
marriage.
Recently
Avika
revealed
that
a
fan
once
told
her
that
he
will
not
watch
the
show
with
his
family.
She
also
elaborated
the
reason
behind
the
same.
Talking
to
Indian
Express
about
the
incident,
Avika
Gor
said,
"I
remember
I
was
in
Delhi
in
2010,
and
a
man,
in
his
sixties
came
up
to
me
and
said
please
forgive
us,
we
cannot
watch
your
show
with
our
family
as
we
feel
ashamed)'.
When
I
asked
him
why
he
said
that...
because
his
family
practises
the
same
thing.
However,
he
promised
me
that
it
won't
happen
again."
The
actress
said
that
even
though
that
incident
shocked
her,
she
was
glad
that
her
show
managed
to
create
an
impact
and
bring
about
a
change
when
it
comes
to
the
practice
of
child
marriage.
Apart
from
that,
Avika
Gor
also
recalled
an
incident
wherein
a
journalist
told
her
that
an
8-year-old
girl
had
refused
to
be
a
child
bride.
Elaborating
on
the
incident,
the
Sasural
Simar
Ka
actress
said,
" I
also
remember
a
journalist
who
told
me
that
an
eight-year-old
girl
in
Kolkata
stood
in
her
mandap
refusing
to
get
married,
saying
'Anandi
Ne
Mana
Kiya
Hai'
(Anandi
has
forbidden
child
marriages).
There
is
a
reason
the
show
is
coming
back
as
this
evil
practice
is
still
prevalent
in
society
and
we
need
to
make
people
see
the
ills
of
it."
The
second
season
of
Balika
Vadhu
has
now
hit
the
TV
screens.
The
show
brings
another
tale
of
child
marriage
with
a
new
central
protagonist
named
Anandi.
The
show
stars
Anjali
Gupta,
Shreya
Patel,
Shiju
Kataria,
Riddhi
Nayak
Shukla,
Vansh
Sayani
and
Seema
Mishra
in
the
lead
roles.
On
the
work
front,
Avika
Gor
has
an
exciting
line-up
of
regional
projects
in
her
kitty.
The
actress
had
unveiled
many
of
her
line-ups
on
the
occasion
of
her
birthday
(June
30).
Apart
from
interesting
projects
in
the
South,
Avika
will
also
be
seen
in
the
ZEE5
film
titled
Net.
