Indian television may be a women's medium but over the years, men have also managed to hold their own. Here's a list of male characters currently on TV, who have made a place for themselves in the audiences' hearts.

Gaurav Khanna who plays the role of Anuj Kapadia in the show Anupamaa, is loved for his character - an understanding and supportive husband, who is very progressive. Netizens often discuss this character on Twitter and carry out trends supporting him. The show may be titled Anupamaa but Anuj Kapadia has a beautiful role to play.

The character, played by actor Sudhanshu Pandey, has seen a graph. He has been negative, positive and often real on the show Anupamaa. Vanraj is a middle-class man, whose only priority is to provide the best for his family, but the character has several layers. Sudhanshu is happy with the feedback he has been getting for his role from day one. Incidentally, it's more the women who love Vanraj Shah's style.

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin actor Neil Bhatt plays the role of DCP Virat in the show. It's a powerful character who has won people's hearts. The show has seen a number of twists and turns, but this character continues to be one of the most important pillars.

Actor Abrar Qazi is currently seen in the show Yeh Hai Chahatein playing Rudraksh. He is a rich rockstar who doesn't believe in love. Abrar has managed to hold his own in a show that focusses largely on the female protagonist's life.

This character played by Iqbal Khan in the show Na Umra Ki Seema Ho is quite liked by the viewers. Devvrat is a middle-aged self-made man. It's about how a young simple girl falls in love with him and he too gradually realises his feelings for her. Iqbal had said in an interview when the show began a few months ago, "We are going to be breaking lots of stereotypes with this show and the character."

This character, popularised by actor Ram Kapoor in Bade Acche Lagte Hain many years ago, continues to impress the audiences. In the second season, it's played by Nakuul Mehta. The overall personality of Ram Kapoor and of course the actors' performances has made this one of the most popular characters on Hindi television
