Balika Vadhu Famous in Vietnam? Here's proof

A viral moment captured in a video from Hanoi, Vietnam, is surprising. An Indian traveler named Juhi Ghodgaonkar was at a restaurant when she casually asked a waiter named Win about Indian celebrities (starting with Shah Rukh Khan). Instead of naming a Bollywood star, Win lit up and enthusiastically shared his deep love for the iconic Indian TV serial Balika Vadhu.

As a child, he and his whole family would watch the show together. He praised the storyline of the Hindi-language serial as "very good," appreciating its long, slow-paced narrative, and even mentioned enjoying the actors' exaggerated, over-the-top expressions, imitating one for fun.

Balika Vadhu became one of the most popular Indian television serials because of its strong social message and emotional storytelling. The show highlighted the issue of child marriage and portrayed its long-term impact on individuals and society, which deeply connected with viewers. Its relatable characters, especially Anandi, and realistic depiction of rural Indian life helped it gain widespread acceptance across different age groups.
