The Ten Actresses on Indian TV (Hindi) who remain on top in popularity, fine-tuned performances, and their influence on TV

#10 Deepika Singh as Mangal Srivastava in Mangal Lakshmi

Deepika returned to the small screen after five years. An Iconic Actress on screen has opted for a role of Mangal, which is like lifting a match stick. She already played a strong role as Sandhya Rathi/Kothari I.P.S. in Diya aur Baati and in Super Natural TV Serial Kawaach – MahaShivratri, played the double role of twin sisters Sandhya and Sakshi Patwardhan. After doing these powerful roles, Deepika as Mangal is best for makers and viewers no doubt but it is too easy for her as an artist.

#9 Anjali Tatrari as Yuvika Mahajan/Yukti in Vanshaj

Anjali Tatrari playing Yuvika, a talented young woman, clashes with her selfish cousin over the inheritance of the family business to determine the successor based on their competence. She was powerful as Yuvika, and even more powerful as Yukti (Yuvika tuned Yuvi after her cousin DJ planned her killing) but she portrayed this very well.

#8 Prachi Bansal as Bhagwati Sita in Srimad Ramayana

The maker has chosen actors for the devotional Saga “Shrimad Ramayan”, with too much introspection. They are somehow successful in doing this. Prachi Bansal as Bhagwati Sita is the reflection of zeal in determination, innocence in intelligence, and simplicity in divineness. She gently portrayed this. Shrimad Ramayana is running successfully on TRP charts as well.

#7 Bhavika Sharma as Savi Chavan in GHKKPM

To be honest, the worst love story on TV is GHKKPM, Season 2. The love Story of Ishaan Bhosle and Savi Chavan ended when it had just begun. Bhavika as Savi Chavan was fabulous, she is not only one of the strongest female characters but just saved the chuckled boat of the makers. Don’t know the reason why they ended Ishan Bhonsle’s character and why they faked the audience with the title Ishan Savi Milan during Promotion. But they made evil win the battle.

#6 Sumbul Touqeer as Kavya Bansal in Kavya – Ek Jazba Ek Junoon

Sumbul is a rare talent on TV. She is a powerhouse of Acting and excels at best dialogue delivery. Her screen presence adds her charm on screen. Kavya is a strong, fearless, and compassionate character. She easily portrayed that. She can disguise herself to the fold of character and bring her charm that only a born actress can do. Touqeer just needs a good PR team.

#5 Disha Vakani as Daya in TMKOC

A great theatre actress Disha Vakani is a very well-known name on TV. She is Daya Bhabi of Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chashma. In the horde of dumb TV actors, Daya Bhabhi stands unique and funny. Her audience cheek bones went into pain due to the laughter dose given by Daya Bhabhi. Be it calling the Jethalal or her one-liners, her every dialogue is a laughter ride.

#4 Hiba Nawab as Jhanak in Jhanak

Jhanak serial rose to the top of the TRP charts due to the one-of-kind Love Saga of Aniruddha Bose and Jhanak. The daily soap is full of action drama having tragedy, suspense, and not the least, a love story, mixed up in finely tuned proportions. The backbone of that show is Jhanak aka Hiba Nawab. Her innocent look, with Kashmiri beauty having an inner fire to not let her self-respect down, makes Jhanak an influential TV Character.

#3 Subha Rajput as Bhagwati Shakti in Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag aur Tandav

Subha an acclaimed face on TV created buzz since her name was heard by everyone for the TV Show based on the legendary Mythological Saga of Shiva and Shakti. She fantabulously played Adi Shakti’s Role. Though her character has been given lesser importance, she acted gracefully and impactful. The show received backlash from the Shakta Sect of Hinduism for showing Devi as weaker. If only acting is considered Subha Rajput looked best as DEVI.

#2 Rupali Ganguly as Anupama in Anupamaa Serial

Anupama is now a household name. The legacy of this daily TV show now matches with Kyunki Saas Bhi Bahu Thi and Kahani Ghar Ghar ki. This is evident from Rupali Ganguly, who is playing Anupama’s character in the show and has joined BJP amid the highly trended Indian 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. Anupamaa is one series that is competing strongly with many web series in viewership. Sometimes people feel Anupama’s character is overtly dramatized. On the whole, Rupali Ganguly as Anupama is versatile and dynamic, making her still the most popular TV actress right now on Indian TV.

#1 Samridhi Shukla as “Abhira” in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata hai!

In the guise of Abhira, Samridhi is acting fantastically in the show YRKKH. People admire the gutsy image of her character Abhira. She is greatly in love with his man Armaan, but not at the cost of losing her identity. Samridhi with her cute persona and indebted power-packed performance, toppled the position of numero uno Indian TV actress in the year 2024.
