The Indian Film Industry is not an easy place to flourish in. While success in Bollywood necessitates hard work, it also relies heavily on luck. It is unexpected that in such a competitive industry, many talented artists go unnoticed. Moreover, the industry has presented a slew of brilliant performers who have delivered impactful performances in Hindi movies. With that, we’ve compiled a list of 8 underrated Indian actors whose acting skills are at par with the big names of Bollywood.
- Supriya Pathak
Supriya Pathak has played the role of a kind and caring mother figure in films like “Wake Up Sid” and “Delhi-6”. Also, apart from being the lovely Hansa in the show, Khichdi, her portrayal in “Ram Leela” was a stark contrast and left a badass image of her in our heads for quite some time!
- Sharman Joshi
Do you remember Raju Rastogi from the movie 3 Idiots? Sharman was always lovable because of his innocence and charm. He made his acting debut in 2001 as a co-lead in Style. When Sharman appeared as an adversary in Hate Story 3, there was a change in his performance. He is one of the most popular actors of all time but has yet to join the list of top stars.
- Tisca Chopra
Tisca Chopra made her acting debut in the 1993 action picture Platform, in which she co-starred in with Ajay Devgn. The actress was stereotypically portrayed as a mother far too early in her career. But the agony she brought to the screen as Ishaan’s mother, was beautifully depicted in Taare Zameen Par. Tisca earned critical acclaim as a Bollywood actress for her remarkable performances in numerous Hindi movies. She has also appeared in several short films, demonstrating her exceptional acting abilities.
- Shreyas Talpade
Shreyas Talpade made big waves with his heart-warming performance in Iqbal in 2005. He had previously acted in Marathi serials and the Zee TV drama Woh in 1997. In his second film, he performed a humorous character, and from then on, he only played comedic roles.
- Neena Gupta
Neena Gupta is a talented actress who has worked in many Bollywood Hindi movies. She returned to Bollywood with “Badhaai Ho,” and has subsequently acted in many web series and films like “Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhaan,” “Panchayat,” and “Panga.” Neena’s performance, to be honest, exudes badass vibes.
- Pavan Malhotra
Pavan is a great actor who worked in numerous Hindi movies to date. His roles include Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Don, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, and, most recently film, Rustom. He first appeared on television in 1984 and has been amusing viewers ever since.
- Konkana Sen Sharma
Konkana Sen Sharma is a fantastic actress, and she stole many people’s
hearts as Aisha in “Wake Up Sid” as she gradually grew out of her cocoon. Only Konkana could make you witness the kind of character development portrayed in the film.
- Amruta Subhash
Ther were many excellent actors in “Gully Boy,” including Amruta Subhash. Her character Razia eloquently depicted the challenges that many Indian women face daily. Amruta has starred in several Marathi films and television shows, including “Sacred Games.” Hopefully, we may get to see her act in more Hindi Movies.
