Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra portrayed two differently-abled people in their latest flick Barfi. The two actors showcased outstanding performances in their respective roles so much that the people can’t stop talking about their act.
Like Ranbir and Priyanka, we also have several other actors who have portrayed differently abled roles. Let us run through them.

Black: Rani swept away all the awards in 2005 for her extraordinary performance in the movie Black. She portrayed the visually challenged Michelle McNally who surpasses all the hurdles to obtain a degree from a normal college. Her role, complemented with
Amitabh Bachchan’s special hand, proved the movie, a magical one to watch even today

My Name Is Khan: Shah Rukh tried his hands as the autistic Rizwan Khan in
Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan. Though the movie was hyped ever since it was announced, Shah Rukh did not receive over the top reviews for his performance as his role was compared to Dustin Hoffman’s role in Rain Man.

Koi Mil Gaya and
Guzaarish: Hrithik played the adorable Rohit in Koi Mil Gaya and he was accepted whole heartedly by the audience. Being a new comer then, it was a tough role where he had to portray the role of a 21 year old with the brain of a seven year old. Later on he went on to play the quadriplegic Ethan Mascarenhas in Guzaarish.

Bhool Bhulaiyya: Vidya Balan performed splendidly well as the sweet and adorable Avni and the vengeful Monjolika simultaneously in Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiyya. She was portrayed as a girl suffering from multiple personality disorder.
in
U Me Aur Hum: The story of U Me Aur Hum was running smooth until we discovered that Pia is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Kajol portrayed the role of Pia decently well in
Ajay Devgn’s directorial debut.
in
Paa: Amitabh Bachchan received his third National Award for his role in Paa as the 12 year old Auro suffering from progeria. He proved to be an unbeatable actor with his performance in the movie.
How many actors do you remember who have portrayed such unique characters?
