These actors have made a place in audience's hearts

We have seen some marvelous performances over the last few years from actors and actresses alike and with content being the king these days, it’s not so often that actors have been able to do justice to their roles. However there are several actors who have made a place in the audience’s hearts and are underrated but have immense talent!

2/6

Manoj Bajpayee

The Family Man actor has swept the audiences away with every role and character he has played so far. Bajpayee has time and again proven himself through his acting chops and created a niche for himself in the industry. Don’t forget his unforgettable role in Gangs Of Wasseypur!

3/6

Pankaj Tripathi

The utmost humble man who nailed all the roles he has donned on screen as a result of which he garnered massive popularity among the audience with his simplicity and flawless acting. From Gangs of Wasseypur, Mirzapur to Sherdil and many more landmark projects, Pankaj Tripathi happens to be one of the best actors we have in the industry.

4/6

Vineet Kumar Singh

The Rangbaaz series actor is somebody we would love to see more of on the silver screen. With every film or series, Vineet Kumar Singh has proved his caliber as an actor and also has never failed to surprise us. He has always chosen offbeat topics which are extremely relevant in today’s world and has aced the roles. Vineet’s talent is surely underrated and once thing that keeps us at bay is his upcoming film, Siya.

5/6

Nawazuddin Siddique

The powerhouse of talent, Nawazuddin Siddique shot to fame with his offbeat performances in projects like Talaash, Badlapur, Sacred Games, Gangs Of Wasseypur and many more. Not only that, he even outdid several actors when he essayed the role of a villain in the Salman Khan masala movie Kick! He surely is one of the finest actors we have.

6/6

Jaideep Ahlawat

Jaideep Ahlawat shot to fame with his impressive character portrayal of Inspector Haathi Ram Chaudhary in the webseries Paatalok and he is another actor who deserves to be seen more. Ahlawat is an actor par excellence who has been a part of some big league films and we can't wait to see him on screen again.
