The TV artistes who have made an impact on television. Here’s what they think of the coming year.

Rajeshwari Sachdev Badola (TV actress): I hope for me, my tradition of interesting and exciting work continues. That’s the way I like my work to be. May dance and music be the elixir of my life!

Himani Kapoor (SaReGaMaPa Challenge): I just want to sing and sing my way to the sort of success that my parents have dreamt for me.

Smriti Iraani (Kyunki...Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi...): This is a year filled with great possibilities for me. It’s the year of my debut in Gujarati theatre and the beginning of my association with cinema. I hope it works out. As for television, content will continue to rule whether it’s a soap or reality TV.

Iqbal Khan (lead, Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai): By God’s grace things have been going splendidly for me. My future is in Allah’s hands. I’m going to continue to work hard and do my bit on television. Everyone can see the popularity of the medium is growing like a wild forest. It just doesn’t seem to end, Inshanallah!

Rajiv Khandelwal (TV star): For me this year looks very exciting. I’m clueless about what awaits me. And the very fact that I’m clueless makes my struggle unpredictable and exciting.

Rohit Roy (TV star): “Honestly, for the first time, I am looking forward to doing some kick-ass work on TV. 2005 was great for me. 2006 looks even better. Sarrkkar is giving me a creative high. And Viraasat promises to be the mother of all soaps. My movie appearance in Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena has got me great responses. Now a couple of really good films are happening. So all in all this year will rock for me. I feel TV will continue to be the most powerful medium, and it’s growing by the week.
