Just like a star that never fails to shine, our Bollywood stars never fail to make us live the life of the character they are playing onscreen. It’s not easy to fall for a reel-life character but some actors make us diehard fans of them. Let’s have a look at the 5 underrated Bollywood characters who deserve recognition.
1. Aisha – Wake Up Sid
“Vo kehte hai na ki aapki kismat mein jo likha hai vo aapse koi nahi chhin sakta, agar uski meher huyi toh aapko vo bhi mil sakta hai jo aapka ho nahi sakta.”
Our generation was not ready for this masterpiece back then. Ayesha is a small-town girl with not-so-small dreams. This ambitious girl flies to the city of dreams far away from her home and works hard to become an independent woman. She hustles every day and faces all the obstacles with confidence. Her journey from being a nervous woman to a woman who knows how to live her life to the fullest made us fall for her.
2. Naina – Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham
“Mai hakikat se inkaar kar rahi hu, sab kuch jaan kar bhi pyaar kar rahi hu”
Naina is a beautiful character with a pure heart. Well, one-sided love is never easy but Naina teaches us how beautiful one-sided love can be. She never failed to show her love for Rahul and showed us how we can love someone wholeheartedly without them being physically present in front of us.
3. Rohit – Kal Ho Naa Ho
“Tu muskura de jo ek dafa mai sau gham bhul jaunga, tu hasti rahe humesha mai tere saare gham khuda se mang laung.”
How can someone not fall for a character like him? A best friend, a partner, and a lover all of that can be found in someone like him. Rohit is shown as an innocent, jolly, and extroverted person who does everything to make someone happy.
4. Raju – 3 Idiots
“Jahanpanah tussi great ho tohfa kabool karo”
How can we forget this iconic movie and this iconic character which portrays the family issues faced by someone belonging to a poor family? Raju tries to attempt suicide but by God’s grace and the support of his family and friends he recovers from the injury. And that incident changes his whole perception of life. He shows how afraid a person can be because of the pressure from his family but he should not lose the battle of life and play like a fighter.
5. Najma Malik – Secret Superstar
“Vo maa hi hai jo apni aulaad ke liye duniya se lad jayegi, chahe kaaton bhara ho safar muskura kar har mushkil se lad jayegi.”
Najma was a strong woman and a mother who took a great step by giving a divorce from her cruel husband who used to dominate her and beat her in front of her children. She shows how a woman should take a stand for herself and save herself from toxic muscularity. She was never given a chance to fulfill her own dreams but she wants her daughter to live her dreams and become a strong woman.
