Top 10 Actresses Of Indian Television

While Indian Television is ever changing and oh so entertaining, it is also highly addictive, whether we like it or not. And not only does the word "TV serial" provide an immediate sense of nostalgia and intrigue you of the same household plots with a unique twist, but also highly infatuates you to watch the serial. And get engrossed in it and identify with the characters. In this case for the majority of serial watchers, which are the Indian females of all ages, will identify obviously with the main or supporting female characters of the serial. Serials are so rightly feminist, and yet we complain? Never mind that.

So, the Indian housewife will identify with the" bahu" of the serial, while the daughter with the "beti", and the grandmother with the "saas", and likewise. For it is the actresses who are the life of our beloved serials. "Baa, bahu aur beti", this phrase holds so true and is oh so relevant in Indian television. A serial is incomplete without its talented actresses. Let's give an ode to these lovely actresses who make our days better with their presence on television.

This list is an ode to my personal favourite actresses of Indian television, ever since I began watching serials (which happens to be before I began watching cartoons). This may be my personal opinion altogether but these actresses are the top actresses of Hindi serials, whom me and the audience like very much. This article is not in any order and simply lists out my preferences.

1. Divyanka Tripathi Divyanka Tripathi was born in Bhopal India. She is >> Read More...

Or as we know her, Ishita Raman Kumar Bhalla. This Bhopal beauty is a stunner on-screen and off-screen. Not only does she subtly and perfectly balance the roles of daughter, wife and mother but it is a joy to watch and observe her. Maybe that is why she wins the ‘Best Wife’ category awards at most award functions of Star Plus?

2. Anita Hassanandani Born as Natasha on the 14th of April, 1981, Anita >> Read More...

Yes, we have so many names for her. The striking ones that have blinked and stayed are Tanu of Kabhi Souten Kabhi Saheli, and Sanchi Nakul Virani of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahi Thi’. And of course what we now know her as - the villain or secondary character that we just love to watch and cannot simply hate. Shagun Arora! She has jumped between big curtains and small curtains and yet managed to be good at both. From the docile daughter-in-law of ‘ Taal Click to look into! >> Read More... ’, to the now vampish rebel in serials, Hassanandani has made it quite a way and won our hearts (and viewership) on the way.

After all, who can miss her? Starting from ‘Kasautii Zindagii Kay’ to ‘Parvarrish – Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi’ to winning the reality show ‘ Bigg Boss Season 4 The Bigg Boss Season 4 started on October 3, 2010 >> Read More... ’, this gorgeous woman has done it all with élan!

Daya Gada! The longest running comedy serial on Indian television, ‘ Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a television se >> Read More... ’, is based on Daya and Jethalal's comedy. Can you ever imagine a regular Taarak Mehta episode without Daya's innocent laughter and blabber? No! We love her for her natural comedy and excellent capabilities of entertaining the audience.

5. Shalmalee Desai Shalmalee Desai (27 years old) was born and raised >> Read More...

Or as we knew her, Sojal Agnihotri. She plays the greedy daughter-in-law turned loving sister-in-law. She is a character that we just love to watch on screen, and perhaps more than the plot of the serial.

6. Shrenu Parikh Shrenu Parikh is now a popular, household name of >> Read More...

The bubbly Aastha Agnihotri. The chirpy and cute actress brightens up the plot and our television shows.

Or, Swara Bose/Gadodia, as we now know her. The bubbly and chirpy actress is a must watch on Colors channel on the show ‘ Swaragini Swaragini - Jodein Rishton Ke Sur is an Indian dai >> Read More... ’!

8. Smriti Irani

Yes, even though she is a politician and Member of Parliament now she is still our Tulsi Virani, our ideal daughter-in-law and teacher of sanskaars. This serial is still so relevant and remembered that it is indeed iconic. Thanks to Ekta Kapoor Ekta Kapoor; a legendry producer in Indian TV and >> Read More... for such good entertainment back in the days.

9. Jennifer Winget Jennifer Singh Grover, a popular Indian actress an >> Read More...

One does not have to ask how many or what serials she has done. We are very much aware of her presence in this industry.

10. Sriti Jha This is about the incredible journey of a girl who >> Read More...

Our beloved docile yet rebellious, modern day and traditional girl. We simply love watching her! Her acting comes through her eyes and hence she dominates Indian television shows. Be it ‘Dhoom Machao Dhoom’ or ‘Dil Se Di Dua...Saubhagyavati Bhava?’ she has won our hearts.
