Balika Vadhu - Kacchi Umar ke Pakke Rishte Set in rustic Rajasthan, 'Balika Vadhu' traces the difficult voyage of child bride Anandi from the edge of childhood to adulthood. Married at the caring age of eight, Anandi had to accept and get to know herself to a new family of strangers and accept her roles as a friend, lover, wife and a daughter in law during early days itself. Now, as a young adult, she faces new challenges as she tries to carve out her own identity in the world. 'Balika Vadhu' very sensitively portrays the plight of children who are unwittingly forced into marriage, in the name of perform, and have to bear the consequences for the rest of their lives.
