There are few film industries in the world which place as much importance on a hero’s dancing skills as Bollywood does.
They can enthrall us with their action sequences, thriller movies and macho performances – but these 10 actors should stop dancing and would be wise to say no to dance numbers in their films!

The actor himself admits that dancing is his weakest point – so at least there’s someone who is not disillusioned. Some people can learn how to dance, others just do a stiff jig. Ajay Devgn can stand on two moving bikes, but should stop dancing. Nobody wants a ‘Himmatwala’ repeat.

Making Nana Patekar dance is just cruel! He is already a brilliant actor and can do comic and serious roles with equal ease – what more do the directors want? His moves in ‘Welcome’ make you wonder if this is the same man from ‘Ab Tak Chhappan’ and ‘Apaharan’. Bollywood directors, do let the poor dear be – and not make him dance.

Arjun Rampal is hot, an impeccable dresser and a decent actor too. But you cannot possibly say that he is a good dancer in your right mind. You saw him try in ‘Moksha’ and ‘We Are Family’ – and it is nothing inspiring. Better to leave him with serious, hunky roles that just require his biceps and deep voice – and that’s that.
