Jimmy Shergill may not have made it big as a lead hero, but he is definitely one of the best character actors we have in Bollywood today. Known for his off-beat roles and flawless performances, Jimmy Shergill can easily be called a versatile actor. From his romantic roles in movies like Dil Hai Tumhara, Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai and Yahaan, to his strong roles in Bas Ek Pal, A Wednesday!, Bang Bang and Traffic – there is nothing this actor can’t do. As Happy Bhag Jayegi releases today, here are 5 underraated roles of Jimmmy Shergill that will make you fall in love with him harder.
Mohabbatein: The film had many actors – from the young students to stalwarts like Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Even in the presence of so many actors, Jimmy made us fall in love with his character of the charming, simple piano teacher.
Special Chabbis: His character of the cop who has been fooled is embarrased throughout the movie. But when the small-time cop comes out victorious with Akshay Kumar in the end, we were all cheering for him!
Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster: Poor Jimmy plays a Raja whose wife is cheating on him and her lover wants to dethrone the Raja. Even in a battered character like this, Jimmy impresses us with his hard-hitting dialogues and intense looks.

Tanu Weds Manu: In spite of a very strong cast, you have to agree that the series would have been incomplete without Jimmy Shergill’s character Raja. At the end of both the movies, you feel sorry for the local goon (Jimmy), when he loses his girlfriend to another man.
Madaari: Yes, we can’t take our eyes off Irrfan Khan, but giving him strong competition as the agent who knows what he is doing is Jimmy, and he sure proves why he deserves every bit of appreciation as an actor.
