Pratyusha Banerjee is the new Anandi
Speaking about Pratyusha chosen as the "Nayi Anandi', Head of Programming, COLORS, Ashvini Yardi said, "Balika Vadhu is a show that enjoys viewership around the world and has loyal followers across demographics. Balika Vadhu is a simple story of Anandi a childbride's journey into womanhood. As Avika Gor connected well with the audience we wanted our viewers be involved in deciding who they want to see as their "grown-up' Anandi. The response that we received in the form of votes was an overwhelming testimony of the love our viewers feel for the characters of this show. I am positive that Pratyusha will take the role of Anandi to newer heights in her grown-up avatar."
As Avika Gor bid good bye to her audience in the sand dunes of Rajasthan, a coy Pratyusha managed to capture hearts with a sparkle in her eye. Balika Vadhu, the show that redefined Indian television, took a five year age leap and held a unique nationwide campaign for the viewers in to pick their "Nayi Anandi'. COLORS' had shortlisted 3 girls; Jamshedpur's Pratyusha Banerjee, Lucknow's Nivedita Tiwari and Mumbai's Ketaki Chitale for Anandi's role.
