Shashi Kapoor? I googled it though.

The first name that came in my head was Naseeruddin Shah.

And another guy from Khatta Meetha 1978. I have a faint recollection of seeing him in some hollywood movies. Not sure if mainstream though. Can't remember his name also. If I'm not wrong I think he is of Parsi or Irani lineage.

Edit - If someone can please provide the name of the said actor, it would be nice.
