Making the most of it
Marriages, separations, deaths, and illegitimate children are a regular feature in TV soaps. Sapana Patil Poojary finds actors who have done the grind the maximum times
Sapana Patil Poojary
Most often Widowed: Kritika (Mouli Ganguly)
Kritika of Sarkar and Kashish of Kahiin To Hoga are top contenders for the title of 'Most widowed' TV actor. Kashish became a widow the first time when her first husband Piyush (Rohit Bakshi) passed away. With every twist in the tale, she kept losing her screen husbands. When she married Sujal, he died too.
Most Replaced actor: Kkusum (Nausheen Ali sardar)
TV actors, more so lead actors in serials, get replaced as often as politicians change colours. When the popularity of an actor wanes, he or she is promptly given the boot and a fresh face is brought in to redeem falling TRPs. The top slot in the list of characters replaced most often is occupied by Nausheen Ali Sardar, aka Kkusum (of Kkusum). Her character was replaced twice (by Manasi Joshi Roy and Shilpa Saklani), thus giving the audiences three Kkusums.
Maximum Children: Mihir Virani (Ronit Roy)
Most female characters in Ronit Roy's shows are vying for his attention. His fan following extends to Tulsi, Mandira, Payal and now Meera to mention the least. Being a favourite with females will naturally entail such results. With three children of his own, one adopted and one illegitimate, he is the father with the maximum number of off-springs.
Deadliest Baddie: Mandira (Achint Kaur)
TV has seen many villains and vamps, namely Ramola Sikcand, Ansh Gujral, Mohini, Pallavi Agarwal but none like Mandira in Kyunki. There is no match for her determination and vengeance. She leaves no stone unturned to have her way and is always scheming to achieve her motives. This is one vamp who operates even from behind the bars!
Most Married actor: Abhay Kapoor (Anuj Saxena)
Abhay Kapoor (played by Anuj Saxena) of Kkusum is the undisputed claimant in this category. He holds the incredible record of marrying five times. At different points in the serial, he has married Nausheen Ali Sardar (Kkusum) twice, and has also wedded Narayani Shastri (Taashu), Shweta Kawaatra (Esha) and Poonam Narula (Mahi). No female character seems to score in this category although there are many female characters who have had multiple marriages.
