Avika Gor gets nostalgic as her debut show Balika Vadhu reruns on Colors

Avika Gor was just a 11-year-old girl when she started her acting career by playing the lead role of child bride Anandi on Colors’ show Balika Vadhu (2008-16). The show went on to become a huge success across the globe and Gor became a household name in no time.

Now that the show has returned for a rerun on Colors amid the Coronavirus lockdown, Avika Gor is ecstatic. Her fans are also rejoicing and have been sending her a barrage of messages and old show stills on her social media.


Excited Gore tells a publication, “I started acting at the age of 11 and it became my school of learning as I would watch how other actors work. From learning my dialogues to rehearsing with everyone to playing games with the crew and then making sure that I was studying in my free time, it all used to be so much fun. Surekha (Sikri) Ji used to get us lots of chocolates and it was like one beautiful family and indeed a life-changing experience. I am pretty excited about its rerun. It will take me to the flashback and relive those memories again and also laugh at watching my younger self on screen.”

When asked about how she is dealing with the ongoing lockdown, the actress shares. “Not being able to shoot is bothering me because I love my work and I have already started missing it. I hope everything comes back to normal and we resume our work and life like we used to,” says Gor. The actress is presently in Hyderabad where she had gone to shoot her next film. But the shooting had to be stopped midway due to the Coronavirus scare.
