MUMBAI:  Indian television shows have been a part of the audience's daily lives for a long time now. Over time, the type and platform of content changed a lot but people still wish to go back to television dramas and call it their comfort zone.

But a show not only runs with the leads but there are also other relationships involved too.  As the year ends, here is a list of the top 5 supporting characters of television from this year:

Kavya from Anupamaa

Kavya might have started on a really bad note but she has had such a journey from just being an extramarital affair to being the daughter-in-law of the Shah family. She started as one of the negative characters but now has completely changed. She has better and more positive opinions and suggestions. She understands things well and even supports Anupama a lot. 

Neil from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
