New Article: Women Power A look at the popular women characters making a mark on television in recent times While the silver screen continues to remain largely male-dominated, women have always called the shots on Indian television. Television actresses evidently enjoy immense popularity because of the popularity of their onscreen avatars. It’s a well-known fact that women characters written for television are quite distinct, irrespective of the fact that some are feisty and some docile, but in the end they all fight back when wronged. So, here’s taking a look at the rung of popular characters on television that women love, and the actresses who catapulted to big-time fame because of it: Paridhi Sharma aka Jodha Serial: Jodha Akbar on Zee TV Before she became Akbar’s Jodha, Paridhi Sharma was seen in Ruk Jaana Nahi . In fact, she even vamped it up in a show called Tere Mere Sapne, which disappeared without a whimper. But that’s not the case with her latest avatar as Jodha, she’s loved for it. To be able to essay a legendary character comes with its fair share of challenges, but Sharma has a different take to that. “Jodha, the character that I play in Jodha Akbar , is a very strong woman and has no qualms about voicing her opinions. The viewers did take some time to understand the character, but gradually began to understand her views, which I feel is the biggest achievement as an actor. In today’s times, all one needs to do is play the character as real as possible, and connect with the audiences,” she says.
