Prime time television's baddies comfortably flaunted their grey stripes and took their mean streak to newer TRP highs as they happily created trouble for the protagonists in 2012.
Abhaas Mehta: As Shyam Manohar Jha in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?, Abhaas Mehta was easily one of creepiest telly baddies ever! He was probably the only baddie who was given a dramatic entry in a show, saved the heroine from ruffians and addressed even his enemies with respect (Saale Sahab, Khushiji). Everytime he'd come on screen for a face off with Barun Sobti, the protagonist, Abhaas showed off his acting chops with finesse.
Kiran Karmarkar: Sometimes actors love to don a character that has negative shades, just to break the monotony of playing positive roles and doing something creatively more challenging. Kiran Karmarkar who was best known as the agyaakari beta Om in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, is currently topping the hate-list of audience as Tej Singh Bundela in Uttaran. He's mean, nasty, manipulative, greedy and lusts for money and women sending shivers down the audiences' spine.
Varun Badola: As Thakur Vikram Singh in Phir Subah Hogi, Varun Badola proves his versatility once again as an actor. He started off as a good guy and his role has metamorphosed from the love struckzamindar to a cold-blooded baddie who'll pull any strings required to win his love Sugni (Gulki Joshi). The versatile Varun merely smirks as he devises new plans to make the protagonists' lives miserable. He doesn't need verbose dialogues or eye lifts to drive home the point that he's pure evil.
Adaa khan: As a rich and spoilt young woman — Amrit (played by Adaa Khan) is very convincing as the vamp in Amrit Manthan. She could go to any lengths to get her sister (Nimrit) out of her way even to the extent of planning the almost perfect murder. So overpowering is her screen presence that Adaa totally steals the thunder from her other co-actors as she shows off her grey shades.
Ashish Sharma: He knows the art of playing grey character in a smart way despite the fact that this is his first show where he plays baddie as Ranbeer in Rab Se Sona Ishq. As the childhood sweetheart of Sahiba (Ekta Kaul), Ranbeer acts selfish right from the time he runs away to London on his wedding day. And currently, he is making it tougher for her because he doesn't want to lose Sahiba to Daljeet (Kanan Malhotra). In his newly acquired shade of grey, Ashish seems to be making quite an impact.
Mouli Ganguly: Mouli Ganguly convincingly portrays a character with negative shades as an old flame, Anushka Sarkar seduces Pradeep (Pawan Shanker) and makes him give up on his marriage in Kya Huaa Tera Vaada. She did her best to make life miserable for the good bahu and wife Mona ( Mona Singh), shots the protagonist accidentally. Undoubtedly, Mouli took the role of vamp to a level of perfection — she's sexy, stylish and the sort of bad girl every one's wary of Her charming smile is deceptive. She's plain mean through and through.
Karanvir Bohra: Whosoever said a daily soap is only full of female antagonists hasn't seen,Karanvir Bohra in action. As Viraj in Dil Se Di Dua...Saubhagyavati Bhav?, he redefined the rules of how to play the small screen baddie. As the sadistic husband who delighted in making his wife shed copious tears, Karanvir carried the show on his shoulder despite the presence of a star like Harshad Chopra. It's a pity however to see the loathsome Viraj suddenly has a change of heart as he's metamorphose into a good guy overnight. We're hoping it's a temporary phase, since we want the baddie back!
Seema Mishra: A relative newcomer in the grey hued world inhabited by the reel bad guys and gals of TV, Seema Mishra shines as Deepali in Madhubala — Ek Ishq Ek Junoon. She's well turned out, mean, manipulative and can smirk at the camera which makes her an instant hit with her audience.
Hema Singh: She marked the return of the manipulative reel MIL as Imarti Devi (Hema Singh) in Kairi... Rishta Khatta Meetha. Every young bahu would hate to have a saas like her who survives on taunts, verbal abuses and only thinks of ways to create unhappiness for her sons' wives.
Abhaas Mehta: As Shyam Manohar Jha in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?, Abhaas Mehta was easily one of creepiest telly baddies ever!
