The year has been interesting one for television soaps. Stereotypes were broken, new characters introduced, generation leaps happened and one of our favourite onscreen bahus grew older with a new Manish Malhotra look.
Changes occurred behind the scenes as well. Ekta Kapoor's right hand man and creative head of Balaji Telefilms, Sandip Sikand, jumped ship and joined Sony. Meanwhile Sony head honcho Tarun Katiyal decided to move to Reliance Radio.
But onscreen, the stars continued to delight us as usual.
rediff.com presents a list of the top five actors and actresses who had the spotlight firmly focused on them this year:
Sakshi Tanwar
Ekta Kapur's favourite bahu Parvati (Sakshi Tanwar) deserves to be in this list because of her deadly comeback.
Her show Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki is one of the most popular serials largely because of Sakshi's new look. She is proof that you don't need to work in many serials to become popular. For the last five years, she has acted in only Kahani.
