Mayuri Deshmukh in Imlie to Hina Khan in Kasautii Zindagii Kay; actors who stole the show from the main leads

A show is made by its actors, storyline, and strong characters. The lead actors often take the centre stage but there are actors who play the side characters but end up being more lovable than the lead pair. Let's take a look at such talented actors: (Photo: Instagram)

Kanwar Dhillon plays the role of Shiva Pandya in the television show, Pandya Store. The actor's rugged character is most loved and his quirky dialogues, chemistry with actors have become more popular than the central leads. (Photo: Instagram)

Karan Kundrra played a brief role in the show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and was paired opposite Shivangi Joshi. He played the role of Sirat's lover Ranveer and his role ended up after his character died due to a dreadful disease. The actor was trending on social media for his charming looks.

Choti Sardarni is incomplete without the mention of Anita Raaj. It won't be wrong to say that the seasoned actress carried the show on her shoulders. Her style, mannerisms, dialogue 'wonderful ji, wonderful', and her strong Punjabi accent made her character Kulwant Kaur Dhillon very powerful. (Photo: Instagram)

Hina Khan played the role of the fashionable vamp Komolika and the show's TRP sky-rocketed after her entry. Her unique and edgy style became the talk of the town and she was much-talked-about on social media rather than the leads Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan. (Photo: Instagram)

Mayuri Deshmukh essays the character of Malini in the second-most-watched show, Imlie. She is seen as Aditya's (Gashmeer Mahajani) wife, who takes a step back to let him marry his lover Imlie, who also happens to be Mayuri's half-sister. The actress' soft and affable demeanour won hearts but currently, Mayuri's character has taken a complete negative turn. (Photo: Instagram)

Alice Kaushik (Raavi) is paired opposite Kanwar Dhillon in Pandya Store. Their chemistry is fire and they have a humongous fan base on social media. The fans love to watch them together. Their love-hate relationship is quite popular. Alice certainly wooed the audience more than the female lead, Shiny Doshi. (Photo: Instagram)
