Writer Purnendu Shekhar shared in detail about the inspiration behind the story line and the research work that went behind the project. "I am originally from Rajasthan, and I derived inspiration for the storyline of 'Balika Vadhu 2' from some real-life incidences that took place in my own family. One of my close relatives was a victim of child marriage, which inspired me to write this story and change as many lives and mindsets as possible through my narrative."
