I agree with the Top 2.. Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan are the best actors the industry has ever produced. I would put Dilip Kumar at 3, Shahrukh Khan at 4 and Hrithik Roshan at 5.

dilip shab should be first and no offense against mr bachan but media just like put him on top where in old times he was total dominated by late mr rajesh khanna and all time favorite dharmji. and offcourse all three khans there are in the league of their own and nobody was successful as these three before and nobdy will ever in many years to come

@ahmed… really? Stop this obsession with the 3 Khans. Amitabh Bachchan at his peak was a one man industry and even if it was briefly, Rajesh Khanna was more popular than any superstar of today.

Where is Hrithik? Hopeless list. Hrithik was better than Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan. He was better than any other actor in a historic role as Akbar.

This new poll is definitely rigged. Because Some days ago I saw Srk won the NDTV all time greatest superstar by 50 % votes. How many times wl they come up with same poll just to please ‘other khans’?

SRK should have been at the top. We all know this. Still we find it difficult to accept. Why? Because Shah Rukh wins always?

@sajid patel.. so doing stunts is good acting? LOL. First go and check the meaning of the word ‘acting’ in the Oxford dictionary (i.e if you have ever heard of it).

Dilip Kumar is the best actor India has ever seen.He got 8 Best Actor filmfare awards.When he came with Amitabh in Shakti 1982,he dominated Amitabh completely and won his 8th best actor award.Amitabh won 5 Best actor awards and was nominated 27 times.Shah Rukh Khan has got 8 Best Actor awards and 20 nominations.Aamir has 2 Best actor awards and 17 nominations.Salman has never won and has only 5 nominations.Here are my Top 10 Best Actors of Bollywood and I am not taking into account stardom
1. Dilip Kumar
2. Sanjeev Kumar
3. Raj Kapoor
4. Dharmendra(The man who gave the highest hits in Bollywood)
5. Amitabh Bachchan
6. Rajesh Khanna.(No one can match the hysteria surrounding him)
7. Naseeruddin Shah
8. Kamal Hassan
9. Shah Rukh Khan
10. Sunny Deol and Aamir Khan.
NDTV list is absurd.

Must be a joke? Salman Khan at No 3 for greatest ‘actor’?? I would agree with anything -- biggest superstar, most popular star.. but actor he isn’t.
Indian people have always misunderstood the difference between acting talent and popularity. It’s the same with box office success and quality of movies. Sad.
