Ah yes alia from beintehaa. She's the only female lead I remember who wasn't annoyingly mahaan/ self-sacrificing or prone to lecturing or weak. She's more real and relatable than other female leads.

There's also avni of naamkarann, but avni had a very depressing life so she had a lot of emotional issues, but she was intelligent and strong nonetheless compared to other female leads.

Can't forget durga of ek haseena thi too. Smart and calculative.

We'll talk about our mutual love for Neil Khanna some other day when I'd get time or my WL decreases. Zain was Neil was a treat to the eyes hotness ki dukaan 😭🔥 him in that khakhi vardi or anything. Uske dekhne ke baad is show mein kiya dekhna padha 🥲

For me NK was more of Neil Khanna. He was the highlight although the focus & narrative was built around Avni. I wish they selected another actress who could match upto hottie Zain 🙊

If you are specifically asking for ITV series then I can’t help you there. As far as movie is concerned i liked Kahani (first one). Padmavat was also good.
I am not able to recall others at the moment.

Alia from Beintehaa

Naamkarann - Avni

Geet also has a strong character

Durga -ek haseena thi

Balika Vadhu - Anandi

Silsila - mouli

Katha from Katha ankahee. These are my recommendations.

Movies that I remember of:-

1. NH10

2. Kahani (first one)

3. Mardaani

4. Arth (an old movie of Shabana Azmi)

5. Chokher Bali (binodini character of the story)

6. Wonder Woman

7. Manthan (based on white revolution of India)

For ITV, I remember a few old shows that I watched:-

1. Shanti

2. Swabhimaan

3. Astitva
