Avika Gor rose to fame with the character of ‘Anandi’ in the hit soap opera, Balika Vadhu, when she was merely 12 years old. She won countless hearts with her cutesy face, sheer innocence and power-packed acting prowess at such a tender age. Moreover, she became the face of a show that sensitised people against the dire social evil of child marriage. Fast forward to now, while Avika has all grown up and is a gorgeous young actress, she is still recognised by her on-screen character name. And recently, the diva remembered a crucial anecdote from her journey in the serial.
Well, for an actress like Avika Gor who spent some of her foundational years on the shooting floors for a show like Balika Vadhu, it included some key learnings about life that she got to know at the age of 12. Speaking about one such aspect, Avika, in a recent interaction with Hauterrfly, claimed that she learned about menstruation while shooting the show. The actress remembered doing a particular scene where her character, ‘Anandi’ starts menstruating for the first time and is meant to stay at her in-laws’ home. Avika recalled how her own mother gave her a brief description of what menstruation means and also made her aware that it would happen with her in real life as well. Avika narrated:

“'For that particular scene my mom had explained to me what periods are. She said, 'You have this scene so I have to explain it to you. This will happen in real life too but this is how it is.' So thanks to Balika Vadhu, I learned too many things too early."

Maine bhi kisi interview mein mention kiya tha ki main bhi jab airport par spot hoti hun, you will see me the best or the most peacefully dressed warna aise koi airport pe nahi jata, main jab dressed hoti hun tabhi bulwati hun.”
