Ever since Jamshedpur's Pratyusha Banerjee replaced Avika Gor as Anandi, viewers have been eagerly waiting to see who will replace Avinash Mukherjee as the older Jagiya, her husband.
Vyas, 23, says he is confident he will do justice to the character.
"I am grateful to god that he has given me the opportunity to showcase my talent with India's most loved and popular show. My first day at the shoot was a dream come true, as I was welcomed with open arms to the 'Balika Vadhu' family. I go through my script thoroughly before delivering my shot to ensure that I give my best shot," Shashank said in a statement.
"I am confident that I can do justice to Jagiya's character, which was popularised by Avinash Mukherjee," he added.
Shashank said he and Pratyusha hope to create the same magic with their chemistry as Avika and Avinash did.
"Pratyusha and I are working hard to create the same magic which Avika and Avinash presented to the viewers. I am sure our hard work and dedication will pay off and we will be blessed and loved by the audience."

They packed their bags and moved to Mumbai in search of a new life,
changing their destiny and the industry. Prepared to return from the
dead, age overnight and work 16 hours a day, they are willing to stretch
themselves as much as the viewers' credulity. Driven by their passion
for fame, they don't have time to mourn the loss of the simple life.
"I have auditioned for more than 70 ads and serials in the past one year. Balika Vadhu did not happen by chance; I really had to struggle," says Shashank Vyas. Hailing from Ujjain, Vyas plays the new Jagiya in Balika Vadhu.
"At times, the loneliness gets to me. But after working for 14 hours at
a stretch and commuting for four hours everyday, I have no time to
brood," he adds.
These actors are trying to adapt to the city-that-never-sleeps life of Mumbai and have no plans of pursuing a career in Bollywood right now. From renting homes to buying groceries, they are enjoying every bit of their life. The small town actors come with a clear intention of making it big and have no starry airs.
It is the first few months that are trying. Odd jobs and auditions for
advertisements and serials keep the actors busy. But some have been
lucky in the first year itself, like the Balika Vadhu couple Vyas and Pratyusha Banerjee from Jamshedpur, who plays the new Anandi.
