13 Underrated Actors Who Made Bollywood Worth Watching, While Superstars Left Us Disappointed

by IForHer Team
July 10, 2022

Bollywood’s obsession with superstars is the key reason why many people have stopped watching Hindi movies. With sub-standard acting skills, our so-called superstars are not able to engage the audience anymore. And, the failure of superstar movies in recent times is just a reminder of that.

While the superstars may have disappointed the audience, there are some talented actors who’ve made Bollywood worth watching. With their powerful performance, these talented actors gave life to their characters and made their presence felt. But Bollywood is yet to give these talented actors the credit they deserve.

Here are some such underrated talented actors, whom we would love to see more on-screen. We hope Bollywood will give them the chance they deserve and offer them some critical meaty roles.

1: Jimmy Shergill

Jimmy Shergill has played a number of memorable characters in the last two decades of his presence in Bollywood. But the industry never tried to give a fair chance to this talented actor. We wish he gets the meaty roles he deserves in the coming years.

2. Amruta Subhash

Amruta Subhash is a well-known name in Marathi and Hindi theatre. She featured opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Sacred Games 2, and received appreciation for her performance in Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai on Netflix. While she was seen in supporting roles in Gully Boy and Dhamaka, we are waiting for her to play the lead in a good movie!

3. Pankaj Tripathy

Even though Pankaj Tripathy has recently received some recognition for his acting skills, we still believe he deserves so much more. He has played some memorable supporting roles in Gangs of Wassepur, Stree, and Gunjan Saxena. We hope Bollywood would soon cast him in a lead role!

4. Shefali Shah

Thanks to OTT, talented Shefali Shah received her due credit. But, many Bollywood movies have wasted her talent. By casting her in the role of actor’s mother or side roles, Bollywood movies have denied her the screen time she deserves.

5. Tisca Chopra

Tisca Chopra did one mistake early in her career – playing a mom. She showed her prowess as an actor while playing the role of Ishan’s mother in Taare Zameen Par. The pain she brought to the screen was something that many actors can’t. We feel talented actors like Tisca Chopra deserve more challenging roles!

6. Deepak Dobriyal

This talented actor worked in many Bollywood films such as Omkara, Shaurya, Tanu Weds Manu, Dabangg 2, Chor Chor Super Chor” Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Hindi Medium, Angrezi Medium, and much more!

7. Tillotama Shome

Even though her filmography includes some of the finest movies, mainstream films failed to write a good role for Shome. From her debut film, Monsoon Wedding to the critically acclaimed Qissa, or the recently released, Sir, Shome has shown that she is a real powerhouse of talent.

8. Jitendra Kumar

Jeetu bhaiya doesn’t need any introduction. He made his Bollywood debut with “Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhaan”, and stole our hearts once again. Ofcourse everyone remembers his acting from web-series like “Kota Factory”, “Panchaayat”, and “TVF Pitchers”.

9. Sanjay Mishra

Another talented actor, Sanjay Mishra, has been seen in multiple roles across TV and movies. In his decades-long career, Sanjay has shown us what real acting looks like. We even saw him as the main protagonist in the critically acclaimed film – Ankhon Dekhi.

10. Divya Dutta

We all noticed Divya Dutta in her roles as Shabbo in “Veer Zaara”. Since then Divya has entertained us in movies like “Delhi-6”, “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”, and “Chalk and Duster”. She definitely deserves a lead role in a big movie!

11. Neena Gupta

Neena Gupta needs no introduction. Recently. she made her Bollywood comeback with “Badhaai Ho”. After the success of this movie, she was also seen in multiple-hit web series and movies. Honestly, Neena gives us solid badass vibes and we wish to see her as a leading lady in Bollywood movie.

Despite Konkana Sen Sharma’s good performances in movies like Lipstick Under My Burkha, Luck by Chance, and Wake Up Sid, we don’t see her on the big screen very often.
