Here is an article for serious movie acting lovers. We are too serious about these actors and their acting and they are too busy being calm, funny, hilarious, serious, romantic, angry, and self-indulgent ‘on-screen’. Anyway! That’s what we love about them. These actors hold the power to make you fall in love with them, hate them, cry for them, get influenced by them and remember them for ‘only’ the role they played.

1. Irrfan khan

His work in Paan Singh Tomar, Maqbool, The Lunch Box and The Namesake can’t be forgotten. We love him even if he acts wicked in his movies.

Fun Fact – Irrfan went to National Scholl of Drama, Delhi. 

2. Rajpal Yadav

His appearance on the screen makes people giggle. And what we love the most is that he becomes the character; no overacting.

Fun Fact – Rajpal acted in theatres in Lucknow (his home-town) for 2 years and joined the National School of Drama, Delhi. The man clearly knew what he wanted to do.

3. Manoj Bajpai

If you watched Bandit Queen, Satya, Pinjar and Gangs of Wasseypur, you surely admire this actor’s talent.

Fun Fact – Manoj was rejected four times at the National School of Drama, that’s when he did theatre with Barry John at Barry’s Drama School.

4. Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Superb acting as Taimur in Talash and Faizal in Gangs of Wasseypur 1 & 2, Siddiqui doesn’t need any introduction.

Fun Fact – Before becoming an actor, Siddiqui worked as a chemist and a watchman. He also went to National School of Drama, Delhi.

5. Richa Chaddha

Theatre actor turned movie actor, Richa Chaddha is very well known for her acting in Oye! Luck Oye!, Gangs of Wasseypur 1 & 2 and Ramleela. By the way, we loved her in Fukrey too. She looked amazing working out in the gym. 

Fun Fact – Richa also went to Barry’s Drama School and learnt drama under him.

6. Boman Irani

We love his voice and are a fan of his acting in Munna Bhai MBBS and 3 Idiots.

Fun Fact – Boman Irani was a photographer until he became an actor. He also worked as a waiter in Taj Palace and Tower and owned a bakery shop in Bombay.

7. Ranir Shorey

Watched Mithya, Khosla ka Ghosla and Traffic Signal? Then we need not say more about Ranvir. 

Fun Fact – You remember Ranvir used to come as a VJ on TV?

8. Vinay Pathak

We remember Vinay Pathak for Bheja Fry, Khosla ka Ghosla and Dasvidanya. Vinay is one of our favorites due to his wow-some comic timing.

Fun Fact – Remember watching Hip Hip Hurray? Remember Vinny sir?

9. Abhay Deol

The good looking actor on our list. We know he is a brilliant actor, unlike his siblings Esha and Booby for his movies- Oye! Lucky Oye!, DevD and Zindagi Na Milegi Dubara.

Fun Fact – Also a theatre actor, Abhay took 10 years to join Films for he didn’t want to leave education.

10. Makarand Deshpande

A brilliant actor in unusual clothes with crazy hair style.

Fun Fact – The new lot comes from theater, we guess! Makarand is not only an actor, but a theater director and has directed many films.
