#BingeRewind: Underrated characters that we think deserved more attention!

#LetsKetchup: Even after being really impactful, some underrated characters barely get any attention. We discovered some of them in 2022 who deserve so much more!

Characters are the headliners of the story who make up the soul of it as well because we get attached to the character's journey much more than the story. And while there are many supporting characters or even leads that get their due diligence, there are some characters that even rise above the story that they're a part of. They're not given enough attention, which makes them underrated characters! And some of them leave a lasting impact on you, and it doesn't matter what role they play!

These are some whose dialogues stay with you, whose reality struck a chord with you, those who ended up showing you an entirely new world within an already existing one, and even the ones who added more value to the story just with their presence. Regardless of the role they play in the film and TV show, they teach you a thing or two!

Like how Prime Minister Maya Rajguru (Dimple Kapadia) from A Thursday as well as Manish (Gyanendra Tripathi) from Ghar Waapsi become the guide and mentor you didn't even know you needed in life. Or how Lakshay (Prit Kamani), Avinash (Vishnu Kaushal), Sameer (Anshuman Malhotra), and Gandhi (Mihir Ahuja) from Feels Like Home and Guru Narayan (Gulshan Devaiah) and Rimjhim Jongkey (Chum Darang) from Badhaai Do break the stereotype and glass ceiling in their own ways about the LGBTQIA+ community and what it means to be a man. Brajesh Bhaan (Amit Sial) from Jamtara and Viraj Singh Dagar (Bobby Deol) from Love Hostel while being the cruelest of men ended up giving representation to those that really exist in the society in the purest form.

Taking the chariot forward are these underrated characters who we think deserved so much more attention than they got for their bravery, mentorship, unapologetically being themselves, and most importantly, without overshadowing the lead, stealing the show, and even becoming the lead sometimes!
