Akshay Khanna [I personally thought he should've won best supporting actor for DCH..he did better than Amir]

I believe he did win an award for DCH and so did Saif.

Totally agree about vivek, I really wish he comes back with a bang. He was terrific in masti and saathiya.

also amrita rao, and genelia d'souza had potential to make it big.

Amrita's biggest mistake was trying to be sexy. That really failed miserably and I agree with what someone said that she pretty much brought her own downfall.

Gracy Singh was good in Lagaan. But I do feel like she was limited as an actress and would never have fit in certain roles. Not being versatile was her weakness.

Vivek Oberoi was/is a terrific actor and it's a pity her personal life affected his professional life so drastically. Bah I hate the industry and their cliquish ways! This boy really deserves to be on top based on acting talent alone (looking at the current crop of kids). Anyone in doubt should see Company.

Great topic. I really liked Mahima and Amrita too. They were both talented. Loved Mahima in a lot of movies she was in, in the early 90s. And Amrita was so good in Ishq Vishq. Sometimes it's a mystery to me why these actress are not popular enough or make it big.

I attribute it to one simple reason. They both did not come from star families! 😭

He did have many successful films like Taal, DCH, Hungama, Hulchul, Race, etc. I am glad he did carve a niche for himself at least. 😊

I feel Vivek Oberoi, he really had a gr8 future in front of him, however success of his films at tat time got into his head, rrefused a film like hum tum, took panga with Sallu n after tat he was only in news for his so called affair...

among the heroines...genelia d'souza...she got another chance with Jaane tu...however she seems to have failed to capitalise tat...

Amrita rao definitely..pity cz i really like her..ishq vishq,vivaah,MHN r my fav 1s f hers..dunno y she disappeared..i thought she was 1 who'd deffa make it big..

n then genelia - well personally i think she still has time to work on her career..she s still 22-23(according to wikipedia) so thr s hope 4 her..n anyway she s really big n south indian movies n she exceeded even Kat n advertisements n endorsements last year..so she s hardly getting a raw deal i guess..

definitely agree about Akshay Khanna... poor guy... if he had not lost his hair and had to use those awful wigs, he'd probably still be getting good roles... very underrated actor...!

among the actresses... i find everyone limited in one way or another, so i can't say... though, i liked the lady in Swades... she was really good, but i dunno how she would have been in other roles... unfortunately, most bolly movies are now all about glamour, x factor, etc...!
