Who are your favorite characters?

Its a nice question....Mahabharat is an epic which does justice to each of its character.
NOt the tv series wise, but the story wise...(THE EPIC ITSELF)
Krishna: Being the Hero of the EPIC..Is the up most favorite.
Bheesma: Mahabharat start with him and ends with his death. For me without him there is no Mahabharat.
Karna: A tragic hero...and your heart goes out to the character..Shakespear's tragic heroes are taken over by revenge and greed, but Karna's down fall was his loyalty, or his belief that he was indebt to Duryodhan.
Arjun:The story highlights him to be the best warrior of them all...well archer. He is highlighted throughout the Story. He is the one who won the contest in which Draupadi decided to marry him. He was Krishna's favorite, Bheesma's favorite, Drona's favorite...I think he ranks as the one of the five Pandavs who get the maximum footage haha in the story, but for me he is not so high in the rank is because I m more of an underdog guy..and Arjun was never an underdog.
I mean all the characters are great in their own sense..in the book...

TV SERIES
Krishna: NITISH BHARDWAJ- HE played Krishna SO well that every time i think of Krishna I think of him...He is etched into my mind as Krishna.
Bheesma: MUKESH KHANNA- A nobody before the series but became known as an commendable actor, he did do a fine job as Bheesma, the vunerability of the character was portrayed nicely. The speech he gives at the end of the series is the very motivating...haha
Karna: PANKAJ DHEER: A very complex character....He is a tragic hero....who is good but on the wrong side..A person who has to go through discrimination all his life...The acting ability shines and the character gets more footage later in the series episode 69 onwards i think.
Shakuni: GUFI PAINTAL: haha The offbit dialog delivery and the limp....he made the character immortal..well done.
Arjun as Arjun: He was the best actor in my opinion in all five of the PANDAVS, and he got the most footage, he did good.
Abhimanyu was good too
Duryodhan: PUNEET ISSAR good actor but he is so low for me because, not that he is a bad character...Im pretty sure his character had more shades than just negative...Ravi Chopra and the writer failed to bring out the other shades of Duryodhan..HE seemed always angry and had that big laugh...it was too stereotypical...I wish they would have painted his other sides..Like in the book it is said that he was good friend, and he was generous...maybe if he was been treated as Karna was maybe it would have been nicer to watch.
