#BestOf2017: Top TV Vamps of the year!

2017 was a great year for Vamps and a few of them were so good, they made bad look good! Writing a vamp into a scene must inevitably be more fun than writing a goody-two-shoes heroine (for good reason!). Today, we're celebrating the female villains on tinsel town for all the drama they add to the screen. 

Here's a list of the top six vamps on TV- 

This one is a no-brainer! Jennifer Winget gave 2017 a mastermind villainess who was so ruthless in her ways, she left even the most hardened evil characters of Indian TV look like school kids. Her portrayal of an obsessive lover was spot-on and she wore her role in the most flattering way. The web she weaved on Beyhadh to entrap the object of her affection was intriguing to watch and the credit of the show's fan-following belongs to her. She made the audience believe in her madness and that is a step ahead in terms of negative characters on the small screen.

Ridhi Dogra Vashisth being a seasoned actress makes for an amazing antagonist. She played Nisha Shukla with such a convincing air, it was difficult to see the art and the artist separately. Her character went about wearing the mask of an ideal bahu, pretending to have memory loss and manipulating even her closest family members. She easily makes it into the list of the top vamps of the year. 

Kumkum Bhagya has an amazing team of sister-in-law and ex-lover who will do anything to break Abhi and Pragya apart. The vengeful duo Tanu (Leena Jumani) and Aliya (Shikha Singh) are not just hateful antagonists but also characters who know how to provide comic relief. They are the vamps who plot together, fail together and come back with cunning plans nonetheless. Watching them trying to tear their opponents' lives apart has been fun!

Tara makes it to the list purely because of her portrayal of a cold-blooded killer. Aalisha Panwar does a great job as a criminal in Ishq Mein Marjawan and although the show is fairly new, we thought this character is worth the mention. She is stylish, deceivingly cunning and sexy. What's even more impressive about this vamp is that she blends easily into the role of Arohi, her doppelganger. 

Naamkaran offered TV a very convincing female villain in the form of Dayavanti. The part of  elderly negative character was the last role veteran actress Reema Lagoo played before her heart-breaking demise. Ragini Shah took over from then on and the character continued to grace the screens. Brilliant performances coupled with a well written character sketch puts Dayavanti on the list of the top vamps on TV this year.
