Popular TV show "Balika Vadhu" has entered the Limca Book of Records for becoming the longest running daily fiction soap after successfully completing more than 2000 episodes.

The Rajasthan-set show began with tracing the life of young bride Anandi and then gradually included the journey of her daughter Nandini.

"The eight-year-long journey that Colors has mapped with Balika Vadhu has been very enriching. The show's meaningful content, endearing storyline and inspirational characters have created a strong impact on the minds of the viewers.

"As the show enters the Limca Book of Records and achieves this brand-new milestone, we would like to graciously thank our viewers for their everlasting support in making 'Balika Vadhu' an industry-wide benchmark," Manisha Sharma, Programming Head, Colors, said in a statement.
