Rishabh Bajaj and Mihir Virani, two popular characters from Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi respectively, are facing tough competition among themselves for the Favourite Pita category of Dabur Anmol Shampoo Star Parivaar Awards - 2004. Interestingly, both the roles are enacted by Ronit Roy.

In this category, they have left behind other characters in the race like Om Aggarwal (Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii), Suraj Singh (Saara Akaash) and Shashank (Sanjivani).

However, Rishabh Bajaj seems to have an edge over Mihir Virani in terms of popularity.

Other popular categories of the Star Parivar Awards are Favourite Bahu, Patni, Bhabhi and Pati amongst others, says the official press release.
