Love for 'bad boys': Anti-heroes rule the small screen

Love for

Good girls find bad boys irresistible!!! 

How many times have you heard of the saying? And how many female readers will vote in favour of this statement? 

Plenty of you out there, right!!                                   

Perhaps the show-makers of current time have finally got hold of this weak nerve of women. Yes, if you do a detailed scrutiny of the on-going tele series, what will leave you stunned is the fact that the audiences are being showered with too many anti-heroes.

A protagonist, lacking the quality of conventional heroism has always found a special place in classic literature. From Willam Shakespeare to George Bernard Shaw to Charles Dickens to James Joyce to the more recent J.K.Rowling, the heroic characters with imperfections have made a way into the readers’ hearts as soon as they have been penned down by the maestros.

Well, this is exactly what TV today is also working on!! Anti-heroes, and their fanatic behaviour, surely makes way for an exciting evening before your idiot box.. 

Let’s start naming a few right here... 

Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi-

Nirbhay aka Mohit Abrol of Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi, wanted to destroy Ranveer, for being responsible for Nirbhay’s wife’s demise.  The young lad otherwise good at heart, was looking after his dead wife’s family.

Swaragini-

Following on the route of Nirbhay is Sanskar (Varun Kapoor) from Swaragini. The young lad who initially was an arrogant drug addict trying to stop his brother’s marriage to seek revenge from him, has turned into a noble man now. 

Piya Rangrezz-

From the very beginning the show has depicted the tale of anti-heros. Madly in love, Sher (Gaurav S. Bajaj) had a rugged appearance, which made the girls go down on their knees. And now, carrying on with the tradition is Sher’s sons, Arjun (Kanwar Dhillon) and Shamsher (Gaurav S. Bajaj).

Begusarai-

Another strong headed baddy of small screen is Lakhan Thakur (Vishal Aditya Singh) of Begusarai. The man left no stones unturned to make us hate him. And he did a perfect job indeed.

Pyaar Ko Ho Jaane Do-

Now, you don’t find a Pakistani agent regularly in our daily soaps. But, we found one in Rizwan (Md. Iqbal Khan). Full of flaws and dangerous was the man, but still he won our hearts.

Jamai Raja-

Kunal (Adhvik Mahajan) is definitely the man, who all the girls would love to marry. But, he surely has his own side of story of becoming a bitter man in love.

Tashan-e-Ishq-

The young man, Yuvraj (Zain Imam) has gotten back, and with a bang. He’s returned even more aggressive and spiteful. Though we would prefer him to be calmer, he is surely one of the prominent anti-heroes leading the television chart.

So who’s your favorite anti-hero? Who’s the one man who gives you sleepless nights?

Let us know readers, and hope you enjoyed this read..
