Bollywood has always been the industry of stars. As compared to Hollywood, Hindi movie produces prefer to stick to the star appeal rather than trying to find the right actor for the character. We have often seen our more than middle-aged stars essaying roles of young heroes and college boys, when a younger actor obviously could have been a better fit. However that seems to be changing now as more actors are getting better opportunities and rising underrated Bollywood actors and actresses.
Most Underrated Bollywood Actors of this Decade
Here’s our list of rising but underrated Bollywood actors who deserve more opportunities and a place at the top for their performances in the few movies that we have seen them in.
Ayushmann Khurrana
Ayushmann Khurrana is without doubt the most talented underdog of Bollywood. From Vicky Donor to Dum Laga Ke Haisha to Meri Pyaari Bindu, the actor has given us movies to remember. Movies that you won’t get bored of or switch of. With various awards under his belt, he is surely someone we want to watch more.
Shraddha Kapoor
This skilled actor is waiting to wow the audience once again with her role in Haseena Parker. The vengeful, smart, and flirtatious girl from Luv Ka the End has come a long way to become Haseena Parker. Her performances in Haider and Rock On 2 remind us the she is a powerhouse of talent and we can’t wait to have more movies of her.
Alia Bhat
In the short time that she has been part of the film industry, Alia Bhat has given us entertaining movies and essayed different roles with great prowess. Whether it is the bubbly girl in Student of the Year or a troubled Bihari migrant worker in Udta Punjab, or an abused girl in Highway, Alia Bhat has excelled in every role.
Arjun Kapoor
Arjun Kapoor is another rising Bollywood star that is stuck in a rut and hasn’t had a super duper hit movie yet. However, he is a natural when it comes to acting and is believable in his character’s skin. Whether it is Savio in Finding Fanny or Madhav Jha in Half Girlfriend, the actor has given good performances. We can only hope that he lands a role in good film.
Diana Penty
Comparatively newer to Alia Bhat Diana Penty too has slid in her characters quite easily and convincingly. She not only won the Best Female Debut for her role in Cocktail, but was also nominated for various awards. Her role in Lucknow Central and upcoming movie Parmanu shows that the actor can perform various roles with equal finesse.
