Daily dose of goodness on Balika Vadhu...

Where is the bitching and the murky details which lurks between layers...because, on the sets of Balika Vadhu, a Sphere Origin showcase on Colors, it is all goodness and honey! From the unit members to the actors, it is a feeling of joie de vivre and easy camaraderie.

According to a close source on the sets, there's never been a day when things have gone wrong between the actors. A motley crowd of veteran actors and debutants, there is a comfort level when it comes to the sets of Balika Vadhu. It seemed strange that a production house didn't have ego issues, warring actors, impossible demands to keep the assistant director on their toes!

A close source says, "If you need your daily diet of sugar, come to the sets of Balika Vadhu." We caught up with Bhairavi Raichura and she affirmed the source's statement. She said, "We are a totally chilled out crowd. We have a blast on the sets and if you are snooping around for a story, you need to look at the children essaying the lead roles. I have yet to see children who are as disciplined as these kids. We, in turn, are learning a thing or two from these kids."

A close source from the production house, on condition of anonymity says, "It finally depends on the production house if we are willing to cater to tantrums and impossible demands. We treat our stars with respect, but at the same time, we treat our other unit members on the same platform. They are equally important to our show."

Gone are the archaic days when the tears, tantrums, impossible demands, walking out of shows and chaos reigned. Sphere Origin's Balika Vadhu seems to be our answer to utopia!
