10 Bollywood Actors who made a Huge Impact despite having Very Little Screen Time

Salman Khan

Even though Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was all about Shahrukh and Kajol, Salman did manage to connect with the audiences. In fact, by the end of the film, we actually ended up feeling bad for him. Of course, we were happy for Rahul and Anjali, but that’s a different story.

Swara Bhaskar

Swara Bhaskar always takes the right kind of roles. We can confirm that after watching Tanu Weds Manu and Raanjhanaa. In the latter, her character was picked from real life. We have all been in love with a guy who hasn’t love us back at least once. And one feels helpless about it. We could all relate to her and wanted to go and give her a big hug.

R. Madhavan

Madhavan’s character in Rang De Basanti was the connecting thread of the gang. He’s an inspiration to the whole lot and he becomes the reason the rest of the group finds its calling. This was definitely one of the strongest cameos ever.

Jimmy Shergill

Jimmy Shergill played the role of an angry ATS officer in 'A Wednesday'. His screen presence was only 10 minutes with a few dialogues, but he managed to leave a mark and present a memorable character.

Lisa Haydon

In an unknown land, Lisa Haydon becomes a friend, a guide and the only source of happiness for Kangana Ranaut’s character in 'Queen'. She helps her explore the city and inspires her to become independent. Lisa and Kangana together displayed a bond that stayed with us long after the movie was over.

Irrfan Khan

Irrfan Khan’s performance in Haider was simply extraordinary. He played the role of Roohdaar, a mysterious fellow. He silently observes the mess created by the Army and laughs at it. Irrfan took the film to a newer level and it’s only fair to call his role one of the most powerful cameos in Bollywood.

Sambha

Mac Mohan had only three words in the movie, but there can be no other Sambha. Nobody has forgotten him and nobody will. His Dialogue - "Pure Pachaas Hajar" created a buzz among the audience which will be remembered always.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui

This man never fails to impress us, right? In Kahaani, he played the role of a cop who is trying his best to find a terrorist. His character paralleled that of Vidya’s and added more substance to the film.

Pavan Malhotra

Pavan Malhotra is one of those underrated actors who always does a brilliant job. In this film, he played Milkha Singh’s coach, and he nailed it. He played the role of an over-the-top emotional Sardarji who was just too adorable for words.

Naseerudin Shah

Even though Shah’s role was really short in the film, his character added meaning to the entire film, especially Farhan Akhtar’s character. Shah played the role of an indifferent man who had abandoned his pregnant girlfriend in the past. And he did full justice to it.
