Television has given us artists like Shah Rukh Khan (Fauji) and Vidya Balan (Hum Paanch), so there’s no doubt there that the small screen industry possesses a lot of talent and also serves as the first step for the stars to roll over into Bollywood. Even actors like Prachi Desai, Sushant Singh Rajput and Ayushmann Khurrana were spotted by Bollywood producers and directors when they had made it big in the television industry. So, it is not unusual to find that our television artists have a huge amount of fan following on social media. And like Bollywood stars, TV artists, too, have got fans emulating their clothing, hairstyles, and body-building/fitness regimes.
The audience tends to form a special connection with their beloved TV celebs. And why should they not? We know how strenuous and demanding working in a daily soap can get as compared to working in movies.
Quora users picked and chose their favourite TV actor/actresses and the list surely doesn’t surprise us at all:
