CapricornSaakshi Tanwar (January 12th) plays Parvati in Kahani Ghar Ghar KiiParvati's character possesses all the traits of a true Capricorn. She is emotional and believes in the truth. She is very responsible towards her work just like Capricorns who are said to be one of the most stable signs of the zodiac. Parvati is protective of her children, extremely loyal to her husband and is the ideal
bahu of the Aggrawal family. She also shows that she is persistent, shrewd and ruthless in accomplishing her goals just like her off-screen star trait. After all she waited for 18 years to take revenge on Trishana Agrawal!
Shewta Tiwari (1st January) plays Prerna Bajaj in Kasauti Zindigi KayCapricorns are independent, rocklike characters much like Prerna Bajaj. They are said to be confident, strong willed and very serious and you'd have to be if you went against your own family to hand in your son-in-law to the police on charges of rape.
AriesSmriti Irani (March 23rd) plays Tulsi Virani in Kyunki…Arians make good friends as they look out for others and would fight to protect them should the need arise. This is exactly what Tulsi keeps doing; minding everyone else's problems. But far from being a busy body, this supreme
bahu strives to do what is right even if it means killing off her own son! Tulsi popped off Ansh to protect her wife from his abuse. You couldn't find a better mother-in-law than that.
One Arian characteristic this traditional woman does not possessive however is short temperedness. She is calm in the most chaotic situations unlike her off screen zodiac trait.
CancerAmna Shariff (16th July) plays Kashish in Kahin To HogaCancerians are closed off emotionally and physically from the world. It is like they are in a shell much like their zodiac symbol, the crab. They have a difficult time trusting people and it makes them regard life negatively, thinking it is too hard and miserable. This is exactly the opposite of what we see in Amna Shariff's character Kashish. Kashish's life has been one bumpy ride but she instead of wallowing in self pity she is very acceptant of the challenges in her life. Cancerians are said to live in the past but young Kashish has been married over four times! Surely it takes maturity to let things go to hop from one marriage to another.
VirgoPrachi Desai (12th September) plays Bani Walia in Kasam SeIt is said that when a Virgo is offended or hurt, they may never show it. Poor Bani however wasn't putting on show to mask her distress when she found out that her own sister was sleeping with her husband. Virgos are observant and analytical. It's safe to say that when you don't notice your husband sneaking around right under your nose with your sister your powers of observation are definitely lacking.
Rajshree Thakur (22nd September) plays Saloni in Saat PhereVirgos are capable of being independent but those who are less out going need someone to support them to achieve more which rings true for Saloni whose husband's love enabled her to fulfill her dreams of becoming a singer.
All Virgos are reliable just like Saloni who is the most reliable
bahu of her family. They are also said to be inflexible which also rings true to Saloni who had very firm views and beliefs. When a Virgo is hurt by someone she will not show her true feelings and this is exactly how Saloni behaves.
On the other hand Virgos are known to be skeptical. Saloni however is extremely optimistic and believes that everything will work out in the end.
Gauri Pradhan (16th September) plays Nandini in Kyunki…A Virgo is ambitious and strives to always know more trying to bring order to chaos. Nandini Virani's character is close to this. She is a journalist who is passionately aggressive about her work. She was determined to interview Don Ansh Gujral and it was this attitude that impressed him. Other than that Nandini is anything but a Virgo. For a sign which is known to be observant and analytical, Nandini proceeded to enter a loveless marriage through manipulation with the Don and was raped by her own husband.
SagittariusJuhi Parmar (14th December) plays Kumkum in KumkumSagittarians are said to be unemotional and ambitious people who do not worry too much about sentiments and feelings. This is the opposite of the typical housewife we usually see on TV and Kumkum is just like any other
bahu. She is extremely attached to her family and is the ideal symbol of a mother and home maker. She lacks the Sagittarian's thirst to explore. Instead she thinks the world is a simple place that she is resigned to live in.
Even when Antara, her vampish daughter-in-law, constantly abuses her Kumkum remains non-confrontational, a trait that is definitely not associated with Sagittarians.
ScorpioShewta Salve (17th November) plays psychiatrist Dr. Ritu in Left Right LeftThey don't call them sexy Scorpios for nothing. Dr. Ritu certainly has the looks to play the part of a temptress but her attitude is seriously lacking the Scorpio traits. Scorpios are the most passionate and sensually energetic of all the signs but Ritu can't even gather up the courage to express her feelings to Captain Rajveer (Rajiv Khandelwal) whom she is in love with.
Libra Rakshanda Khan (27th September) plays Tanya in Kyunki…Libra is very insecure, they suffer from a lack of self confidence, they are always searching for something to complete them hence they are unsure of themselves.
A negative Libran character may show frivolity, flirtatiousness and shallowness much like Tanya's negative character. While she was a friend of Ansh Gujral she was responsible for generating confusion between lovers Nandini and Karan. She later fell in love with Karan. However when she turned good Tanya helps Nandini and Karan get together sacrificing her own love. Could this prove that Libras don't really know who they are inside or maybe it's the script writer whose can't decide between Tanya being good or evil.
