Filmed in rural Rajasthan, Balika Vadhu follows the grueling journey of Anandi from the verge of childhood to adulthood. She had to accept and adapt to the new life that she was about to face. When Anandi becomes an adult, she deals with new trials as she attempts to carve herself out into the world.
