Balika Vadhu 2 release date: The release date of the much-awaited sequel of the long-running show Balika Vadhu is out now. The trailer of the show is shared by the channel on their social media handle.
The show Balika Vadhu had aired for almost eight years starting in 2008. It was based on various social issues prevailing in society today especially in rural areas. Social issues like child marriage, education for women, the stigma around divorce, women in leadership positions and the stereotypes related to widows were addressed in the show while being sensitive to the television audience.
The show is back with season 2 which would be based on similar lines as the previous one: child marriage. Similarly, child actors Shreya Patel and Vansh Sayani would be seen in the lead roles of the show. Balika Vadhu 2 would air on August 9 and run on weekdays from Monday to Friday at 8 PM IST.
Color TV wrote while sharing the news of Balika Vadhu 2, "Baal Vivah ki iss kupratha ka abhishaap apni maa ki kokh mein hi jhelna pada nanhi si Anandi ko! Issi kupratha ko mitaane laut aayi hai ek nayi Balika Vadhu! #BalikaVadhu2, 9th August se Mon-Fri raat 8 baje se sirf #Colors par." The Balika Vadhu season 2 trailer can be found here.
