Check out our Power List from television, as we list the stars who not only shone bright, but even connected to us at some level.

1. Nia Sharma

The sultry siren from the small screen might invite a controversy or social media trolling every now and then, but she never lets all this affect her. Yes, with her victory march every year, Nia manages to stay amongst the most celebrated TV actresses.

But she was definitely the first one from the TV industry to make it to that list. Even as we speak, the actress continues to inspire us on fitness and fashion, and in life.

2. Kapil Sharma

Amongst the men from the television industry, Kapil Sharma tops the list of names to look up to, and on the popularity charts.
