Bollywood is an amalgamation of different kinds of craft that sells stardom. Huge stardom is the key to the survival in the showbiz world of Bollywood. If you have stardom, you survive but if you don’t have it, you will end up being a supporting actor and eventually woosh away from the industry. Many times, these talents go unnoticed, and the stars fail to grab enough limelight than what they deserve. No matter how much the industry is blamed, the audience is also equally responsible for the same. Here is a list of the top 10 most underrated actors of the Bollywood industry who also deserve fair share of the limelight:
1. Abhay Doel: Whether it be Dev D or Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, with his acting Abhay has proved his mettle in the industry but it is our mistake that we failed to enjoy his craft. He has his own charm that never fails to work on the audience and is one we all wish to see more often.
2. Vijay Raaz: Finding a better actor than Vijay Raaz is nearly impossible. There is a reason why he is not called a star because he earns because of his art not because of his big stardom. He is surely one of the actors we can never get enough of.
3. Ashutosh Rana: Ashutosh Rana entered Bollywood as a villain but a single look of this man says he is a villain but it’s his groundbreaking craft that makes him an icon whenever he steps in the character of a villain.
4. Arshad Warsi: This name can be controversial. But do he got the limelight Sanjay Dutt got after Munna Bhai, do he enjoyed huge stardom after Golmaal no, and that is the reason even after so many mind-blowing characters he is still running like a side horse.
5. Tahir Raj Bhasin: You don’t really expect exciting antagonists from Yashraj. Pradeep Sarkar’s Mardaani saw the rise of a particular young kid who is the head of a human-trafficking syndicate, engaging in a battle of wits with Rani Mukherjee – a police officer.
6. Jimmy Shergill: Jimmy is one of those actors who still dons the same personality as he used to don when he made his debut. Give him the role of a hero or a villain he will show you it is actually done. The 90s favorite romantic, Jimmy is someone who has played an array of roles in Punjabi and Hindi movies.
7. Ranvir Shorey: It really breaks our heart that still pack of talent is still on this list. He is one of the most talented gifted guys who suffered a dent due to the stereotypes and choices of Bollywood. With the impending release of Titli - we hope he finally gets the applause he deserves so so so much.
8. Kay Kay Menon: He is one of the actors who is known for his roles bringing artistic satisfaction onscreen while keeping the real. Movies like Haider, Black Friday, Rahasya, Sarkaar, etc belong to him.
9. Sanjay Mishra: Whether it be a good role or a bad role, this man here knows how to shine among the star-studded cast. He has given us favorites in movies like Masaan, Ankhon Dekhi, Kaamyaab, Kadvi Hawa, etc.
10. Jim Sarbh: Known for his fearless and unconventional character choices, Jim Sarbh has created his own set of audiences. His movies A Death in the Gunj, Padmaavat, Neerja, Sanju, etc speak for themselves.
