5 Bollywood supporting characters which were better than the main lead

Priyanka Chopra in Bajirao Mastani

Priyanks’s role of Kashibai’s character was felt by all the audiences. Her brilliant performance put Deepika’s role far behind.


Anushka Sharma in Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Katrina Kaif was the lead role of this movie, opposite Shah Rukh Khan. However, Anushka’s supporting role of Akira, who is a documentary filmmaker, stole the limelight from Katrina’s lead role. Yash Raj heroines are mostly seen in white saree but for this role, Anushka was seen in white ganji as it went with the hardworking and ambitious girl.

Jim Sarbh in Neerja

Even though Sonam’s performance was beautiful, when she played the character of Neerja, the supporting character Jim’s negative role of Khalil grabbed a lot attention. Khali was a character of a terrorist, who kept passengers hostage in the plane with other members of his group.

Parineeti Chopra in Ladies vs Ricky Bhal

Parineeti’s debut in the industry was in 2011 with Ladies vs Rick Bhal. She played the supporting character of Dimple Chadda. Her bubbly and cure presence left an impression every time she came on the screen, which left Anushka’s role a bit behind who was the main lead.

Sunny Deol in Damini

Old but definitely gold, the dialogue ‘tarikh par tarikh’ screamed by Sunny is something that still get used by many people. Even though he was not in the movie from the start, however, the little role took all the attention from Rishi Kapoor.
