7 Actors of Bollywood Who Are Just Plain Unlucky

They say hard work and talent are the only sure shot way to make it big in the Bollywood. However, sometimes more than skills, talent and everything else, the only reason that limits the success of Bollywood aspirant in luck. These actors are a proof that it takes along with acting chops and looks, one also needs the luck to make it big in Bollywood.

Abhishek Bachhan

He is the biggest example that nepotism works another way around as well. Abhishek was not half as bad as an actor as his career turn out to be. But the shadow of his last name instead of helping his career was always an added burden to him that restricted his success. Yes, he has made some terrible choices when it comes to movies, but so has others. But in his case, he was simply unlucky in his career.

Jimmy Shergil

Bollywood has been screwing with Jimmy Shergil forever. It is rather unfortunate that an actor of his caliber ends up playing the dude who is left by the girl for the hero. The range and versatility he has shown over the years on screen should have taken him much higher in his career, but unfortunately, that never happened.

Chitrangada Singh

She had the looks to kill, acting chops that matched and burst into the scene pretty convincingly. Everybody could have vouched that her career in Bollywood looked promising. But then, something happened and it is difficult to figure out what. Whether it’s the fact that she mostly stuck to niche projects or just sheer bad luck, but Chitraganda Singh is one serious talent that Bollywood lost

Raima Sen

It’s a shame that Bollywood could not tap into the powerhouse of talent that is Raima Sen. She is not only one of the most significant actors of Bengali cinema, but even her Bollywood outings were appreciated by many. But somehow she never managed to make a major name for herself in Bollywood.

Sharman Joshi

After a success like 3 Idiots, one would think that Sharman Joshi’s talent would finally be given its due credit, but nothing of that sort happened. It is almost tragic to see an actor like him now signing insignificant films to keep his career afloat. If this isn’t rotten luck then what is?

Akshay Khanna

It is difficult to believe that even after being in the industry for so long Akshay Khanna is one actor who never attained his full potential. He has time and again been appreciated for a majority of his performances, but in his case, nothing but a bad luck could have been the reason why he never really reached where he should have.

Vivek Oberoi

He had one of the most distinguished debuts of his time and Bollywood fans were sure that a new star is born. Getting on the wrong side of Salman Khan , choice of a few wrong projects and basically, a bad luck is the only reason why somebody like Vivek Oberoi, even after giving hits such as Saathiya and Shootout at Lokhandwala, he is down to doing movies that really doesn’t do justice to his potential.
