1/6

Asrani – The Confused Constable, Principal or Watchman

No one played “clueless but cute” better than Asrani. His role in Sholay as the jailor may have been in the 70s, but in the 90s, he was the go-to guy for slapstick reactions and quirky character roles.

2/6

Guddi Maruti – The Bold, Loud Comic Relief

Known for her brash confidence and loud laughter, Guddi Maruti was often cast as the bubbly friend, secretary, or nosy neighbour. She brought the house down without even trying.

3/6

Kader Khan – The Sass King of Every Father Figure

Whether as a rich dad, a retired cop, or a judge, Kader Khan delivered zingers like no one else. His witty one-liners were legend, and his comic chemistry with Govinda is now part of Bollywood folklore.

4/6

Razzak Khan – The Flashy Comic Sidekick

With his eccentric hairstyles, sparkly shirts, and high-pitched voice, Razzak Khan became a must-have in masala comedies. Whether it was Baadshah, Hello Brother, or Hera Pheri, his screen time may have been short—but it always hit.

5/6

Shakti Kapoor – The Over-the-Top Villain’s Clown or Creep

From Nandu Sabka Bandu to Crime Master Gogo, Shakti Kapoor was everywhere. Whether he was the villain’s chamcha or a shady comic relief character, you expected him to pop up by scene five.

6/6

Tiku Talsania – The Perpetually Stressed Dad or Boss

Whether as a flustered father, panicking hotel manager, or chaotic school principal, Tiku Talsania had the perfect aam aadmi energy that brought every scene to life.
