Confirmed: Colors to axe Balika Vadhu 2

Speculations were rife lately that Colors was planning to pull the plug on one of its ongoing shows, Balika Vadhu 2.

And now, the producer of the show has himself confirmed that it is set to conclude its run next week, after recently introducing a generation leap and new actors, including Shivangi Joshi, Randeep Rai, and Samridh Bawa.


Talking to an Indian daily, producer Sunjoy Waddhwa said, “Things happened very fast after we changed storylines and introduced a leap. It is true we brought Shivangi as the main lead, but the script or actors’ performances are not responsible for a show going off-air. We all know that sometimes there are no particular reasons as to why a show fails to click with audiences. I cannot be crying over something that has not worked.”

Talking specifically about the entry of Joshi as the new female lead on the show, he said, “When the leap happened, it was so sudden that there was not much time to promote the show or talk about Shivangi’s entry into it. We are hopeful that the show will work on the other platform. I do not feel a show not working should be blamed on any actor or the script.”

Balika Vadhu 2, as the title clearly suggests, is the second season of Colors’ iconic show Balika Vadhu, which made actors like Avika Gor, Pratyusha Banerjee, Toral Rasputra, and Shashank Vyas a household name. The new season hit the airwaves on August 9, 2021. It is produced by Sphere Origins.

Euphoria

The series often opts for surface-level provocation, leaving its themes underexplored

'Euphoria' is all sex, drugs and toxic relationships with barely any story left

Highlights

  • Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney return for the third and final season
  • Series leans heavily on explicit themes, with limited narrative depth
  • Four-year time jump reshapes characters but offers little progression
  • Moments of emotional weight remain, but are largely overshadowed

From cultural moment to creative fatigue

When Euphoria first arrived in 2019, it sparked debate for its raw depiction of teenage life, pairing explicit content with striking visuals and a strong emotional core. Its mix of stylised storytelling and difficult subject matter set it apart, while its young cast quickly rose to prominence.

In its third and final season, that balance appears to have shifted. The show retains its provocative tone but offers less of the layered storytelling that once gave it weight.
