Top 10 Supporting Roles In Bollywood That Overshadowed The Lead Hindi Article

Movies have become an integral part of our entertainment. Most of us enjoy watching different genres, and Bollywood movies have now become our personal favorite. We usually idolize the lead character in movies and most of the time; we watch movies only because it has our favorite actors in the lead. But there are some movies where the supporting cast outshines the lead and creates a larger impact on the audience. Today we bring to you some very special supporting roles played in Bollywood movies which turned out to be a treat for us, thereby leaving a lasting impression on our minds.

1. Kirti Kulhari As Falak Ali In Pink

Pink dealt with a significant issue in an effective manner. Although Tapsee Pannu played a crucial role in fighting against her molesters, Kirti’s portrayal of an exceptionally understanding and supportive friend was endearing. She ends her relationship to bring back the dignity which she and her friends had lost.

2. Priyanka Chopra Born on 18 July 1982, Priyanka Chopra is an establ >> Read More... As Kashibai In Bajirao Mastani

In this epic saga, Kashibai played the sidekick but excelled in her portrayal to the extent that she overpowered ' Deepika Deepika is a Kannada film actress who has appeared >> Read More... '. Not only did 'Priyanka' carry off the beautiful Marathi sarees and jewelry with ease, but her crisp dialogue delivery and perfect acting made her the queen of this movie. Kashibai’s grief of losing Bajirao and her eternal love for him is such that we could easily empathize with Priyanka’s feelings.

3. Nawazuddin Siddiqui Nawazuddin Siddiqui was born in Budhana in Muzaffa >> Read More... As Liak Mohammed In Badlapur

This movie focused on Varun Dhawan’s angst and vengeance against his wife’s murderers. 'Nawazuddin' played the psycho villain who was responsible for creating a mess in Varun’s life. Nawazuddin’s depiction of an unabashed criminal was so raw that it outshone Varun’s angst. We can’t help but feel sorry for him, and Nawazuddin’s presence adds all the spice and thrill in this film.

4. Diljit Dosanjh Diljit Dosanjh, born on 6 January 1984, in Jalandh >> Read More... As Policeman Sartaj In The Film Udta Punjab

'Diljit' comes across as a breath of fresh air in this movie. He essays the role of an honest cop with sincerity and his mission of eradicating drugs from Punjab is heartfelt. Diljit and Kareena’s romance is sweet, and he transcends Shahid Kapoor Shahid Kapoor also identifies as the name Shahid K >> Read More... ’s presence in the movie with ease.

5. Fawad Khan As Rahul Kapoor Rahul Kapoor is the son of Bharat Kapoor. He is a >> Read More... In Kapoor And Sons Click to look into! >> Read More...

This role was apparently rejected by six actors before 'Fawad' bagged it. Fawad’s depiction of a homophile was natural and polished. Caught in a dysfunctional family, Rahul Kapoor is probably the only gay character in Bollywood movies who has confronted his feelings with utmost sincerity. Shattering the comic image of a third gender in Hindi cinema, Rahul Kapoor respects his feelings and doesn’t mock them. Fawad’s expertise has brought flavor and energy in this Shakun Batra Shakun Batra is an Indian filmmaker and he was bor >> Read More... flick, and his role has paved the way for an earnest depiction of homosexuality in Bollywood films.

6. Irrfan Khan Irrfan Khan is a noted Bollywood actor who started >> Read More... As Roohdaar In Haider

This movie contained a bunch of outstanding performances. Irrfan’s entry as the mystic ‘Roohdaar’ creates an uproar in Haider. With his poetic solutions and mind-boggling revelations, 'Irrfan' plays with Haider’s conscience and becomes the inner voice of Shahid Kapoor only to outrun him with ease.

7. Anushka Sharma Born in an army family to Col. AjayKumar and Ashim >> Read More... As Akira Rai In Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Katrina Kaif’s beauty doesn’t manage to charm the audience, and Anushka’s chirpy appearance wins the piece of cake. 'Katrina' plays her usual stoic self, and we end up disliking her even more for leaving Shah Rukh to die on the road. 'Anushka' cheered up the audience with her lively performance, and we still believe that she was the lead of this movie.

8. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a popular Indian actress >> Read More... As Saba Khan In Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

With those smoky eyes, a sexy avatar, and the romantic Urdu Shayari, Aishwarya Rai emerges as a Goddess of Love in this movie. In spite of being older than 'Ranbir', 'Aishwarya' pulls off her role with immense charm and grace. We loved her for her romantic streak and maturity. Aishwarya will remain the heroine for us in this Dharma Production.

9. Rajkumar Yadav As Deepu Sebastian In Aligarh

Playing the journalist who cares for Manoj Bajpayee Born on 23 April 1969, Manoj Bajpai is first a Bol >> Read More... , Rajkumar’s presence brightens up the latter’s mundane life. Together they click selfies and go on boat rides, helping Bajpayee to smile even in difficult times. Although Bajpayee moves us to tears, Rajkumar’s performance is heartfelt, and he deserves applause for it.

10. Tabu As Begum Hazrat In Fitoor

Although Aditya Roy Kapoor’s role of a passionate lover made us go weak in the knees, Tabu’s portrayal of the grieved and dejected Begum Hazrat left us fascinated. Filled with spite and malice, Begum Hazrat seeks solace in witnessing the pain of a jilted Aditya Kapoor Aditya Kapoor was one of the participants in the M >> Read More... . Her portrayal of Begum Hazrat makes us hate her, but we always love her for the intensity of her roles.
