BizAsia Special: Unconventional characters on TV

Indian TV is going through change, with fresh new voices and innovative network brand philosophies. As a result, viewers have been introduced to unconventional characters like Maya , the villainous female lead from Beyhadh' or Satrupa, the bold matriarch from Rishton Ka Chakravyuh'. And the movement is only gaining momentum with more and more characters and stories that don't fit the traditional TV saas-bahu' mold currently being broadcast. We look at some of these characters.

Vedika Mathur Aap Ke Aa Jane Se'

Vedika is a mature woman in a young romance, which brings an interesting perspective to the usual love story we are used to seeing. She's a realist in contrast to Sahil's carefree optimism, with her everyday life coming in the way of following her heart. Their love story does face the typical tropes of unsupportive families and evil exes, but the main barrier is Vedika's lack of faith in life working in her favour. Her resignation to her fate is the opposite of the unwavering optimism of typical TV heroine, who is always willing to fight for her love. Vedika, however, tries to distance herself from Sahil for his own benefit. She has a viewpoint that is seldom explored on Indian TV, which creates an interesting dynamic in this love story.
