MUMBAI: With innumerable shows going off and coming on-air, we have seen the emergence, establishment and dominance of many new faces over the television industry within a very short span of time.
What's even more interesting to note is that more rebellious characters are being introduced on-screen and as usual, each of them are primarily being portrayed by the TV actresses, who are gracefully nailing their on-screen roles. Owing to feminism-centric shows like Anupamaa, Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani, Imlie, Molkki, Chhoti Sardarni, Gum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mei, etc. many new female leads are displaying their creative and well-balanced acting chops on the small-screen, proving that the TV industry won't ever run out of talents.
Now, coming to a very strange record, it's applaudable to witness how these show's male leads are nailing their roles on-screen by complimenting their on-screen female counterparts, without compromising on their on-screen character's importance and rather, retaining their masculine yet righteous properties. The art of displaying complex conflicts in the path of ice-breaking regarding the establishment of the term 'equality' amid the male and the female leads of a Hindi soap is the most alluring feature of modern-day shows.
From defending their point of views to understanding societal crisis and to finally accepting the new life-patterns, our on-screen male protagonists are beautifully displaying their character's dynamic transformation on the grounds of mutual understanding, just as it should be in reality.
Without any further ado, let's take a note of the most prominent TV actors who are currently ruling over the television industry by nailing these sorts of characters and are actively taking part in smashing old-school patriarchal and chauvinistic formats:
1. Sudhanshu Pandey

Actor Sudhanshu Pandey is currently portraying the role of Vanraj Shah in Star Plus' Anupamaa. His on-screen character is not a very clean one though for indulging in an illicit affair with his office colleague Kavya and belittling his wife for petty issues. His mean attitude and vicious mentality has got the show's audience hating his on-screen character's characteristics to the core. Being the top ranking show on the TRP chart, Vanraj's infidel personality is definitely a key reason behind the show's massive popularity. Despite his ills, his temporal dilemma while differentiating between the honest and the fake is winning the audience's heart.
2. Mohsin Khan
[[{"fid":"15648259","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false},"link_text":null,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false}},"attributes":{"height":282,"width":400,"class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"1"}}]]
Extremely popular television hunk Mohsin is essaying Kartik Goenka's role over 5 years now in television industry's longest-running show till date - Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Right from his first entry as on-screen Kartik till date (as the female-lead Naira's husband), the hype around Kartik's character has never diminished for even once over time, despite the coming and going of so many TV actors on-screen within this phase. Kartik is especially loved for portraying the best of husband-goals on-screen, a life-partner whom every girl aspires of. From taking care of his family, elders to romancing-off his wife, he is a true family-man. Currently, post-Naira's death, Kartik is seen taking care of his kids, family and this new girl Sirat and her grandmother Mauri, who happens to be Naira's look-alike. Despite this, he refrains himself from developing new feelings for Sirat.
3. Avinesh Rekhi
After gaining fame in Tu Sooraj Mein Saanjh Piyaji, Rekhi is currently portraying the role of Sarabjeet Singh Gill in Choti Sarrdaarni. His character also gives-off major husbandly vibes for accepting a single-mother of somebody else's kid as his wife and treating her like his queen by taking up major life-risks for protecting that of hers.
4. Gashmeer Mahajani
[[{"fid":"15648399","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false},"link_text":null,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"4":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false}},"attributes":{"height":1280,"width":855,"class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"4"}}]]
Actor Gashmeer's on-screen character of Aditya Kumar Tripathi in Star Plus' Imlie is a pretty complex one for having two wives. His first marriage with Imlie (that happened under hostile situations) is a secret from the world while his latter marriage with Malini was the one he was anticipating of for a long time. However, what's interesting to note is that how the character is undergoing a dynamic transformation by acknowledging the reality and is taking care of his first wife Imlie, who's all innocent. Now, who will Aditya let go-off in the long-run? Only time will tell!
5. Neil Bhatt
Neil's playing the poignant role of APC Virat Chavan in Star Plus' Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. His on-screen character had to make a huge sacrifice by letting go of his initial love interest Pakhi for the sake of his mentor's last wish, which is of marrying his daughter Sayi. As the plot reveals, Sayi is actually the better partner of Virat as Pakhi is filled with jealousy against Sayi and poses harm against Virat's family. The way how Virat supports his wife Sayi before his chauvinist family and helps her achieve her dreams is commend-worthy!
6. Shabbir Ahluwalia
Shabbir stars in Zee TV's KumKum Bhagya as male-lead Abhi for a long time now. Despite not being able to end up with his ladylove Pragya over years now, the way he tries his best to improve their broken situations in order to reunite his family with Pragya and their 2 daughters keeps fans hooked to their screens.
7. Dheeraj Dhoopar
From an all-time high-key attitude guy with complexes to Preeta's doting husband, actor Dheeraj's on-screen character Karan Luthra in Kundali Bhagya has come a long way by undergoing major character transformation. Despite girls' preference in bad boys, from being the once-least-aspired to the currently well-aspired on-screen hubby, Karan has nailed the mark of his character's rationality by following his heart and intuitions.
8. Harsh Nagar
[[{"fid":"15648469","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false},"link_text":null,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"6":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false}},"attributes":{"height":1280,"width":855,"class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"6"}}]]
Harsh's on-screen character of Anant has shattered a major societal stigma through his show Saath Nibhana Saathiya 2 by marrying his household's maid. From being a doting son to a caring and supportive husband for Gehna by preparing the poor and illiterate girl to take over the world and it's challenges ahead, Anant is totally husband-goals.
9. Karanvir Sharma
[[{"fid":"15648419","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false},"link_text":null,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"5":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false}},"attributes":{"height":426,"width":640,"class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"5"}}]]
Karanvir portrays the role of Shaurya in Star Plus' Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani. His character was introduced as a selfish man who believes in old-age chauvinistic ideas regarding gender-based equality and has walls around him for not having his mother around him in his days of sensitive development. However, his sets of values and ethics break and evolve post-encountering his college's career-oriented and bright student Anokhi, for whom Shaurya has developed feelings lately.
10. Amar Upadhyay
Molkki as a show's title refers to an age-old Indian custom of marrying-off young girls to old men for the exchange of money. As the show's male lead, Amar's character of Virendra Pratap Singh is someone who silently abides by these traditions and customs before encountering his second wife Purvi, who herself got married-off to him through Molkki, but his struggling her way out to get these baseless practices eradicated from their society.
