They’ve graced your TV screens, stolen your heart and may have even made you shed a tear or two. There’s no denying that these characters have become household names that have successfully pulled on our heartstrings will be forever loved –
Jake Peralta
NYPD’s favourite detective was always up to no good and did exactly the opposite of following the rules. He may have been the most talented of the lot, but his childish ways, constant pranks and making a mess of almost everything he touches is what the audience loved most, and to some extent is what made the stern Captain Raymond Holt grow fond of him
Olivia Pope
It’s hard not to love the powerhouse that Olivia Pope is. Afterall, she did help Fitz Grant become the President of the United States! Olivia is a fearless crisis manager who is her own boss, and isn’t afraid to bend the rules and go out of her way to help her clients. She has earned herself an incredibly loyal team who has no qualms about following their fierce leader.
Chuck Bass
The Upper East Side may have loved to hate him, but there’s no doubt Chuck Bass put a spell on everyone who adored him. Whether it was his relationship with Blair that gave every dewy-eyed teen some #relationshipgoals, or his bad-boy nature that landed him in hot water more times than he could count, one thing is certain – there is no Gossip Girl without Chuck Bass.
Chandler Bing
The king of Sarcasm managed to sweep his audience and Monica Geller off their feet. Although Chandler seemed clumsy, hard-to-date, and someone with not a lot of luck on their side, he became a household name that the audience grew to love. I mean, who can forget his epic proposal to Monica
Cristina Yang
The fierce, feisty, and badass Cristina Yang was a force to be reckoned with. She threw herself into the most cutting edge of surgeries and is never afraid to relentlessly chase after what she wants. Her enormous fan following was eminent when she was written off Grey’s Anatomy, with heartbroken fans conveying that there is no Grey’s Anatomy without Cristina Yang.
Maya Sarabhai
Maya Sarabhai loved to live in her high society bubble and wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. One of her most noteworthy traits was the fun and creative ways she came up with, to call out Monisha with her classic “That’s so middle class” liner. Her flair for multiple adjectives and her sarcastic ways had everyone in splits.
Hansa Parekh & Praful Parekh
Hansa and Praful are hilariously dumb characters and their English language skills are enough to start a laughter riot. Praful never seems to do anything right, whereas Hansa never works in the house because “Mein to thak gayi bhaaishaab!!”. Praful is always translating English words for Hansa, but not always correctly, which is a site to watch!
Jetha Lal Gada
Jetha Lal is a wealthy man who is also very unlucky. Trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes, and he is almost always intimidated by his co-workers, neighbours, and friends. His relationship with his best friend Taarak Mehta is one for keeps, as he often refers to Taraak as his ‘fire brigade’, as he always extinguishes the fire around Jetha’s problems.
Jasmeet ‘Jassi’ Walia
Jassi is a living example of today’s #TransformationTuesday. Inspired by hit sitcom Yo Soy Betty la FeaI, Jassi’s character in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi is an awkward, dorky, middle-class girl who works at a fashion empire. Her fans grew especially fond of her drab-to-glam transformation, where she let go of her awkwardness to become a fierce, independent woman who avenged all wrong-doings.
Dr. Armaan Malik
There was hardly a teenager alive who didn’t have a serious crush on everybody’s heartthrob Dr. Armaan Malik. His flirtatious ways with Dr. Riddhima eventually made her fall in love with him and their inevitable chemistry was like a gravitational pull too hard to ignore.
