Vote: Worst Actors in Bollywood – Male

A fun poll, not to be taken too seriously and no offense meant to the nominated actors. Here are the nominations for the worst actors in Bollywood

  • Tusshar Kapoor – Terrible in almost every genre except comedy, Tusshar made his debut in Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai opposite Kareena Kapoor. The movie was a runaway hit at the box office and Tusshar went on to win several Best debut awards including the Filmfare. Then came a string of disasters (and terrible performances) Kya Dil Ne Kaha, Jeena Sirf Mere Liye, Kuch To Hai, Yeh Dil and many more. He excelled as a dumb (speechless) man in the Golmaal series, probably the only two performances that the actor will be remembered for.
  • Zayed Khan – Better known as Suzzane Roshan’s brother and Hrithik Roshan’s brother-in-law, Zayed started off well in Main Hoon Na, but its been all down hill since then.. He says he hasn’t been too serious about his career, we think he’s a non-actor.. what about you?
  • Fardeen Khan – It took Fardeen more than a decade in the industry to show any signs of improvement as an actor.. He was good (by his standards) in All the Best and Life Partner.
  • John Abraham – Kareena called the actor “expressionless” on Koffee with Karan, we think so too. Having said that, John has achieved a lot more success and earned a lot more money than most ‘good actors’ can even dream off.
  • Dino Morea – Great looks and physique but zero acting talent. For someone who started off with the blockbuster Raaz, Dino’s career has nose-dived ever since.
  • Upen Patel – After winning the Best Debut IIFA award for his terrible performance in 36 China Town Upen screamed from roof-tops “I’ve signed eight films and this is just the beginning, but I can’t wait to become a superstar”. He surely must have under-estimated the struggle, dedication, hard-work and most importantly – talent which he clearly lacks – to achieve superstardom. Few disasters later, Upen was last seen in the super-hit Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. After seeing which, the idea of creating this poll was born.
  • Bobby Deol – Both, his brother Sunny and father Dharmendra dominated the industry, Bobby unfortunately didn’t come close. He deserves credit though for being the best thing about the trashy Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.
  • Sohail Khan – Tries too hard to be funny, making innumerably different faces in every on-screen appearance and falls flat almost always.
  • Himesh Reshammiya – His first film was well marketed – The reason behind him wearing his infamous cap (which was never revealed, but we all knew it was due to hair loss), how he would look without it and also the curiosity to see him act.. all contributed in a big way to make Aap Ka Surroor a huge success at the box office. Then came Karzzz and Radio.. The former collectively put everyone in theater to sleep and the later was by far the most unintentionally funny movies of the year.

Whose the worst? Submit your votes, you can select 3 actors from the list.

Note – One highly requested actor to make it to this list was Abhishek Bachchan. Sorry, but Abhishek isn’t too bad an actor. Its the expectations that people have had from him being the son of Amitabh Bachchan, that has weighed him down. He was fantastic in Guru, Yuva, Dostana and the most recent Paa.

Added to the list – Aftab Shivdasani, Uday Chopra, Ashmit Patel

where is abshieak bachan, he is one of the over-rated actors in bollywood. he has his name only because of his father! that is a total BS! you should put him on this list!

 
Amit singhania:  (December 6, 2009 at 4:46 am)

Where is aashish choudry arjun rampal chanki pandey lol..indicine luvd ur commentry on upen patel.hahaha..sunil shetty is a gud actor.plz its a request dont disgrace shetty.plz remove him..

 
Indicine Team:  (December 6, 2009 at 5:01 am)

Guess your right, going through Shetty’s filmography he has done quite well in a few films. Replaced him with Arjun Rampal.

Chunky and Aashish are small time side actors..

 
Umar:  (December 6, 2009 at 6:29 am)

I dont think Imran Should be there because this was the same thing that happened to Hrithik after Kaho Na pyar Hai, he gave mujse doosti karogi, yaadein, and one of the worst acting of the decade Mein Prem Ki diwaani Hoon and Imran Still has movies to prove his worth….The Dharma Production Movie, Dellhi Belly and the film with Deepika

 
sudeep:  (December 6, 2009 at 8:06 am)

I think most of them r…but i voted for john abhram(my another hatest actor…..gosh..have he ever act on movie????),fardeen khan and upen patel

 
sudeep:  (December 6, 2009 at 8:09 am)

INDICINE TEAM:R u planning to watch hollywood movie AVATAR or not????????If u r then plz put ur review in this site!!!!!!!i know this is bollywood movie review site but its special request…….Hope u will put……

 
FullerMat:  (December 6, 2009 at 8:58 am)

I don’t think aftab deserves to be in this list… He is a pretty good actor.. rest all are fine…

Himesh is one guy who hate to see on-screen.. whatever image & popularity he earned with his music & singing, he has single-handedly destroying it by acting in movies.. Someone really needs to give him a reality check… I hope the disastrous collections of Radio should give him some idea now.

 
FullerMat:  (December 6, 2009 at 9:10 am)

And looking at the list which is bombarded with star kids, I can gauge the fact that its extremely difficult for a normal person to make it into Bollywood these days esp as a hero.

Just think abt the next generation, who can be the next superstar? Ranbir? Shahid? Imran? is there even any non star-kid in sight? It makes me all the more appreciate self made super-stars like SRk & Akshay… I dont think we can expect to have another self-made superstar..atleast surely not in the near future!

 
Naveed:  (December 6, 2009 at 9:28 am)

Payal:  (December 6, 2009 at 10:03 am)

Upen patel, fardeen khan and zayed khan ! They r Just pathetic stars of bollywood.
Ppl what do u think should ritesh deshmukh be in the list?
Kurbaan saved vivek oberoi otherwise he too was a dud b4 it

 
amish:  (December 6, 2009 at 10:07 am)

^ fardeen was gud in life partner, hey baby. zayed was gud in Blue.
and Vivek was dud before kurbaan??? hw sad…. remember company, maya in shootout… he s awesome…

 
Imran Khan:  (December 6, 2009 at 10:56 am)

remove imrans name …

Imran had a blockbuster movie .. he is the heartrob of 2007( JTYJN..).where as Abhishek bachan good for nothing …..he is good only for supporing roles

John got Best villian award role for DHOOM

 
Fathiya:  (December 6, 2009 at 12:37 pm)

For me.. Himesh will top them all.. he’s the worst, then Fardeen Khan & Upen Patel.. Upen should never act.. I just don’t like him to be a part of any movie.. he’s hard to digist or to be loved!

John, Bobey, Arjun are good actors.. why are they in this list?!! Aftab too was so funny in Masti and was good in Ankahee.. Ashmit Patel’s acting was good in Murder & Intehaa.. intehaa was a flop movie I guess ( but I liked the story & some songs) and he did well in these 2 movies.

Imran will be good but will take him at least 5 years.

Dino was good in Raaz, but he accepted to work in some bad movies.. there4 he ruined himself!!

Uday Chopra ( he was good in Dhoom2, and waiting for his upcoming movie with Priyanka, the role suits him because he’s not a good looking actor) Tushaar too needs some specific roles for his career.

Zayed needs some strong roles in some good movies, but he’s not bad
Suhail Khan is ok.. not a bad actor

 
nisha:  (December 6, 2009 at 1:03 pm)

i am not trying to be funny……..but who is sohail khan!!???!!??!!

 
nauman:  (December 6, 2009 at 1:10 pm)

indicine :
are u all right ???? how did u put arjun rampal’s name in this list ?? i think u forgot he got 2 film fare awards since last 2 yrs one for best villan OSO and last yr best supporting actor Rock on ( i m not sure it was filmfare or any other but he got).
Himesh should be top of the list
Aftabh should follow him
and upen is also big compitater of aftabh or himesh.
Thx God to Rohit Shetty who signed Tushar in Golmaal n Golmaal returns other wise he could be top one.

 
Amit singhania:  (December 6, 2009 at 2:55 pm)

Rampal is a fair choice,.dun go by awards indicine .as u earlier mentioned upen got an iifa also..except rock on rampal was expressionless..

 
Amit singhania:  (December 6, 2009 at 2:59 pm)

@fathiya..fardeen is certainly better than zayed..zayed khan is associated wid sum of worst movies of bollywood shabd yuvraj blue cash fight club

 
halakoo:  (December 6, 2009 at 3:15 pm)

how the hell u include imran khan in this category he is such a fine actor and he did only 3 films in which his first film is a block buster bigger than kaho na pyar hay and u might remember what happened to hrithik after knph, series of flops, please dont do these type of stupid mistakes. at least u should have a criteria that actor should be 8 to 10 films old to be in the list.
thank you

 
Fathiya:  (December 6, 2009 at 3:21 pm)

Amit Singhania: did you see Fardeen’s movie “Darling”? his worst acting!! I can’t remember any good movie for Fardeen except two movies: Khushi ( he wasn’t bad) & Kitne Door Kitne Pass, nothing else! well I consider Zayed a good actor but he needs a good opportunity, some good movies and some strong roles.

 
nauman:  (December 6, 2009 at 4:12 pm)

fathiya:
why did u forget Fida, No Entry and All the Best. fardeen was good in these movies as well and except fida both movies are hit.
and about hritik after kaho na pyar hai he gave alots of flops like fiza , mission kashmir , aap mujhe achhae lagne lagay , na tum janu na hum ( avg ), lakshya ( avg ) he got success after koi mil gaya which released in 2003 , so he got real success after 3 yrs and u mentioned imran a worst actor after 2 movies and within one year. it is not fair ,
i m not talking abt KKKG coz that was shah jee and kajol’s show
