2018 Wrap Up: 7 Bollywood actors who are the scene-stealers of 2018

Gone are the days when audiences lauded only the lead characters in a movie. Bollywood has evolved a lot over the years and supporting characters get as much importance as the lead characters in a movie. In fact, there are many movies in which supporting characters overshadow or outshine the main characters. In movies like ‘Raanjhanaa’, ‘English Vinglish’, ‘Tanu Weds Manu’, ‘Sanju’, ‘Stree’, ‘Love Sonia’ and others, we have seen supporting cast doing as well as the leads.
