Vikrant Massey started his career in television and made his acting debut with Vikramaditya Motwane’s Lootera. Since then, he has shown great performances in various movies one after another.

Richa Chadha made headlines for her performance in Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and went on to act in several successful films like ‘Fukrey’ series, ‘Masaan’ and ‘Sarbijit’ .

Gulshan Devaiah is one of the most underrated actors in Bollywood. In a short span of time, he has played a variety of roles across genres with directors like Anurag Kashyap, Dibakara Banerjee and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He has made his professional choices very carefully. Considering his talent, he really deserves more success and fame.
5. Radhika Apte
It’s a little sad that I have to feature Radhika Apte on this list despite having a career spanning over 20 years. She started playing small roles in Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Va Life Ho To Aishi!’. She then went on to act in films like ‘Badlapur’, ‘Hunterr’, ‘Manjhi-The Mountain Man’, ‘Padman’, ‘Andhadhun’, ‘Raat Akeli Hai’ and ‘Monica O My Darling’. Ta.

Adil Hussain started acting in Assamese films in the 1980s and continued to do so over the years. His breakthrough in Bollywood came with Vishal Bhardwaj’s Kaminey and he became further known for films like Ishqiya, Agent Vinod, Lootera and English Vinglish. I did. We hope to see him in many more films and roles in the coming years as he proves himself to be a great actor.
7. Swara Bhaskar
The word underrated describes Swara Bhaskar as she is undoubtedly one of the most talented actors in Bollywood. Despite this, she starred in relatively few roles. Some of her most successful films include ‘Nil Bati Sunnata’, ‘Guzaarish’, ‘Tanu Weds Manu’, ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’, ‘Raanjana’ and ‘Veere Di Wedding’. And so on. I hope to see more of her movies and shows in the near future.
8. Ali Fazal
After his wife Richa Chadha, it’s time for her husband Ali Fazal to recognize her too. After she briefly appeared in Indian-American films, Ali rose to fame with her small but impactful role in Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots. She then appeared in films like ‘Fukrey’ and ‘Happy Bhaag Jayegi’ as well as her web series ‘Mirzapur’. She has also appeared in Hollywood films such as “Fast and Furious 7,” “Kandahar,” and “Victoria and Abdul.”

In the OTT space, Puri has shows like her Made In Heaven and her Four More Shots Please! under her name. We hope she can get more roles and fame.

Arshad Warsi is one of the most talented actors with perfect comic timing. He is best known for his portrayal of circuits in his Munna Bhai series. Apart from that, he has also acted in films like Dhaamaal, Furchul, Golmaal series, Ishqiya, Deed Ishqiya and web series ‘Asur’. Warsi has been praised by his contemporaries and seniors such as Naseeruddin Shah, Vidya Balan and Boman Irani.

11. Jimmy Shergill
The word underrated doesn’t do justice to Jimmy Shergill’s career, which started with Gulzar’s Maachis and hit its stride with Aditya Chopra’s Mohabbatein. Over the years, Jimmy has made a name for himself not only in Bollywood but also in Punjabi films. However, I feel like the makers have yet to fully utilize his true potential.
