In a recent interview, Avika Gor opened up about Balika Vadhu 2 and stated that she would have loved to play the grown-up Anandi in the new season Read on!
Following the stupendous success of the popular show Balika Vadhu, the makers are coming up with its second season with an all-new cast. The new show will begin on August 9 and fans just can’t contain their excitement. Although Avika Gor, who played the role of young Anandi in the first season, will not be seen in its second season, the South actress will be lending her support to the daily soap on various platforms in a bid to promote the new season.
While speaking with Etimes Avika said, “I will be telling people to watch the new season because it’s very similar to the first one. I have a soft corner for BV…it changed my life. So, when I was approached to become a part of the new journey in a small way, I jumped at the opportunity.”
However, Avika not just wanted to promote Balika Vadhu 2 but also would have loved to play the grown-up Anandi.
“Oh my God! I would have loved to play the grown-up Anandi in Balika Vadhu 2. I would have jumped into it. Why not? The show has given me so much as an artiste. Had the makers offered the part to me, I am sure that I would have tears in my eyes and a smile on my lips, and would want to be a part of it for sure. I would have loved to do it, but unfortunately, I have a lot of commitments down South. So, it is practically not possible,” she was quoted as saying.
Further when asked, was it difficult to see someone else play the title role, Avika mentioned that the feeling is the same how it was when she left the show and late actress Pratyusha Banerjee had entered as the new Anandi. “It was letting go of the character and someone else playing the part. I know how to detach myself from a character,” she added.
Meanwhile, talking about Balika Vadhu 2, Shreya Patel and Vansh Sayani have stepped into the shoes of Avika Gor and Avinash Mukherjee as Anandi and Jagdish for this new season.
