Pakhi from Anupamaa (Star Plus): There have been a lot of ups and downs in the show from Anupama finding love in her life and getting married to him, to Vanraj and Paritosh losing their jobs, to Shah and Kapadia family coming together, and Pakhi being stubborn and marrying Adhik.

Pakhi (played by Muskan Bamne) is a character that you can hate for how she always stands against her mother but for all the wrong reasons but at the same time you will fall in love with how the actor performs and justifies the character. Pakhi is someone who always has her eyes on the prize. She wants what she wants by hook or by crook. Meanwhile, she is also the youngest in the house and someone who is very innocent and doesn’t know the way of the world. In her acts of negativity, it’s not just her intentions that show out but also her innocence that makes people fall helplessly in love with her. The mother-daughter bond is always admired by the audience and the young audience relate to her a lot.

Aarohi from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (Star Plus): You can love her or hate her but there’s no way you can ignore her. Aarohi (played by Karishma Sawant) has really brought a lot of storms, not just in Abhimanyu and Akshara’s relationship but also in the entire family. Karishma Sawant has an amazing fan base that showers her with love but her character is equally disliked because of how she tries to break Abhimanyu-Akshara’s relationship, which means that Karishma is doing her job really well. The show took a leap some time back and now Aarohi has been trying to get her hands on the Birla House’s wealth. She is trying to rope in Neil for it. Karishma never disappoints with her performance.

Malishka from Bhagya Lakshmi (Zee TV): Malishka (played by Maera Mishra) has won countless hearts with her performance. Bhagya Lakshmi’s storyline is a beautiful one and justifies the way the characters are. Same goes for Malishka as there’s no way you can hate her even if she’s a grey shade character. Lakshmi and Malishka are two sides of the same coin in the sense that while Lakshmi has a sacrificing nature when it comes to love, Rishi, Malishka, who also loves Rishi, has a snatching nature and wants to get Rishi’s love in her life anyhow.

While Malishka plans a lot of traps against Lakshmi, her moments of breakdown completely breaks people’s heart as they understand how painful it must be for Malishka to see Rishi close to Lakshmi.

Maera Mishra plays the role so well that it never fails to connect with the audience and also justifies the character very well with reasons to back her behaviour.

Revati from Yeh Hai Chahatein (Star Plus): Yeh Hai Chahatein’s storyline always keeps you on your toes and it’s important that you have your eyes glued to the screen or you’ll miss something. The love story between Rudraksh and Preesha has made place in the audience’s hearts.

Revati (played by Poorva Gokhale) had a great presence on screen who gave quite a tough fight to Preesha. She was a police officer and so she was smart but the character also showed an equally emotional side of her being a mother, being so much blindly in love with her son. It was a character that was completely reasonable for hating Preesha and wanting her to lose her family and feel the pain.

Preesha fought tooth and nail with Revati in order to protect her family and in the end, Revati was defeated. However, the audience will never be able to forget how cunning Revati was and how tough it was to defeat her.

Jasmine from Udaariyaan (Colors TV): Jasmine (played by Isha Malviya) is a true example of how far a person’s will and determination can take you, even if your intentions are harmful to others. Moments when Jasmine roared and got back into action or moments when Jasmine broke down in emotions, were all outstanding to watch. Isha gave one of the best performances in the show and the level of intensity in her role was unmatched at the time when Fateh and Tejo were alive.

It’s not an easy to win appreciation and love by playing a character against the main leads, always planning and plotting. However, Isha pulled it off quite effortlessly.

Isha Malviya has recently made a comeback in the show and the audience have gone crazy looking at her new avatar and her way of planning and plotting.
