(MENAFN - NewsBytes) Balika Vadhu on Colors TV had poignantly brought attention to the prevalent issue of child marriage in India, when it released in 2008. The show also probably became the most popular title for the channel. Its makers are now gearing up for a season two. To give us a flavor, the first teaser of Balika Vadhu 2 was dropped recently. Let's explore. In this article We see a toddler about to be married off Colors is yet to announce a launch date New Anandi is here to eradicate this social evil Set in modern times, 'will address changing societal norms' After completing schedule in Rajasthan, team to shoot in Mumbai Teaser We see a toddler about to be married off The 32-second-long clip opens with a toddler walking with the help of a walker. Her mother coddles her and says they will now have to look for a "nanha sa rajkumar" for her. A voice-over in the background informs that the ill practice of child marriage is still rampant in many parts of the country. The next shot has the child wearing wedding attire.
