Good work of less hyped actors

We usually discuss more famous superstars in articles, online forums etc.

I'd like to discuss strengths and good work of actors who may not have been huge, hyped superstars or given record breaking ATBBs etc or may not even have had critical acclaim much, but were good in some characters and films they did.

I watched some old films in lockdown and felt Neetu Singh was really good in tomboyish, feisty characters and immature, childish woman roles.

Amrita Singh is another one who I felt was good in angry/bitter woman roles and feisty, tomboyish girl roles.

I found Ayesha Jhulka very relatable and natural in simple, girl next door roles or a first year college student roles in early 90s.

Amol Palekar was never a superstar but I felt no one else played simple, common man as naturally and perfectly as him. I cannot imagine Golmaal, Rajnigandha, Naram Garam etc without him.

I feel Goga Kapoor was really good as a villain or strict father with that height, baritone and aggressive looks.

Who are the less hyped actors, from any era, in your opinion, who were quite watchable and talented in certain roles they did?

It is unfortunate normies might need to first google these names - Zakir Hussain , Pawan Malhotra , Saiyyaji Shinde , Saeed Jaffrey , Ravi Vaswani , Govind Namdev , Raghuveer Yadav , Saurabh Shukla , Rajat Kapoor , Farrukh Jafar , Rasika Joshi , Sitaram Panchal , Pankaj Jha , Piyush Mishra .

There could be more . Also , there are some who I guess are relatively well known names like Annu Kapoor , Vinay Pathak , Ranvir Shorey or Sadashiv Amripurkar.

I agree with all the names mentioned so far and I have watched their work too.

There are plenty more.

Rajpal Yadav, Ratna Pathak Shah, Satish Shah, Sumeet Raghavan, Bharati Achrekar, Divya Dutta to name a few.

They are all natural actors. I love their work.

Cheers..

Agree about Neetu, Amrita and thanks for mentioning Goga kapoor

Used to admire his performances too but never knew his name before :) esp good as Kans and in QSQT
