Shah Rukh Khan as Rahul Mehra

The king of romance left audiences in awe when he aced the role of a creepy obsessive lover in Darr, co-starring Juhi Chawla and Sunny Deol. One of Shah Rukh Khan’s most iconic performances of all time!

Priyanka Chopra as Sonia Kapoor Roy

Priyanka was not only confident and badass, but also believable as a predator because she sunk her teeth into the character. She definitely outshined Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan, who were more experienced back then.

Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khalji

No explanation needed here. Ranveer proved his worth as well as versatility when he lived the character of Alauddin Khalji on screen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. Even though he shared the screen with Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor, he stole the show.

Saif Ali Khan as Langda Tyagi

Langda Tyagi is not only one of Saif’s best performances, but also one of the most iconic villains in the history of Bollywood. Omkara was undoubtedly HIS film!

Mouni Roy as Junoon

Relatively new, but worthy of being on this list is Junoon played by Mouni Roy in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva. She is a spectacular actor, but fans were not exactly expecting her to do better than Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. She is rightfully being praised across social media for her performance.Source
