Remember what Kajol said after winning the Best Villain Award for the edgy Bollywood thriller, Gupt. She said it pays to be wicked. Well, that holds true for TV as well. Every hit TV show needs that vamp to succeed. A modern family drama like Yeh Hai Mohabbatein also needs a wicked lady and so does a fantastical supernatural show like Naagin 3. Shrenu Parikh is getting a lot of love for her role of an evil bahu in Ek Bhram - Sarvagun Sampanna. Here is a look at five times TV actresses rocked being bad on TV.

Jennifer Winget - Beyhadh
Well, Jennifer Winget set the highest benchmark so far with her performance as Maya in Beyhadh. On the show, she played the role of a psychotic businesswoman who is possessive and obsessive about her lover played by Kushal Tandon. Jennifer aced the role and social media was on fire after every episode of Beyhadh. Whether it was her sizzling scenes with Tandon or the ones in which she showcased how deranged Maya was, it was top-notch and how! The good news is that Beyhadh 2 is on the anvil and there's a huge chance of Jennifer being on the show.

Hina Khan - Kasautii Zindagi Kay 2
Kasautii Zindagi Kay 2 has been one of the most talked shows in recent times. While there was a considerable buzz around the casting, the news that shook everyone was the casting of Hina Khan as Komolika Nikaaa! Her first look of her trended the whole day on Twitter. And the video with that sexy walk made people even crazier. Everyone was waiting with bated breath to see how Hina Khan would portray the new-age Komolika. The actress did not disappoint a bit and is one of the reasons why the show trends on social media.

Sanjeeda Shaikh - Ek Hasina Thi
One of the best thrillers ever made on Indian TV, Sanjeeda Shaikh played the role of a young woman who gets a new face (plastic surgery) and enters the house of a spoilt young man who raped her sister. People went gaga over the powerful performances by Vatsal Sheth and Sanjeeda Shaikh. The Haasil actor was terrific as the ruthless Shaurya on the show. The show was an adaptation of the hit foreign series, Revenge.

Aalisha Panwar - Ishq Main Marjawan
The young lady was gutsy enough to make a TV debut playing double roles in a nicely crafted thriller. Aalisha Panwar's performance as the simple Aarohi and psychotic Tara endeared her to fans. The actress managed to show the differences between the two with aplomb. Aalisha is one of the strongest contenders to replace Hina Khan on Kasautii Zindagi Kay 2.
