HT-M-Girl power on TV - Sonarika

We take a look at gen-next female stars of television, who have proved their mettle, delivered hit shows and earned a fan following

While audiences love popular actors and established stars, there's a whole new generation of actors on TV that's wooing everyone. Most newcomers disappear after their first shows; there are very few fresh faces that make quite an impact early in their careers. Move over Sakshi Tanwar, Smriti Irani, Mona Singh, Shweta Tiwari; Surbhi Jyoti, Roopal Tyagi, Sonarika Bhadoria and Deepika Singh are here to stay. Seen in bit roles, Roopal hit the jackpot with Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke. The role of Gunjan seems to be tailor made for her. Roopal's effortless acting skill is her biggest USP. A choreographer by profession, Roopal landed this lead role by chance. From kissing on screen to adhering to the modern outfits in the show, this 23-year-old sure has a lot going for her. We only hope now that Gunjan is married, the story doesn't tailspin into a clichd saas-bahu track.
