Two of the finest actors of Indian cinema who got very close to being superstar's but never got the due recognition at top which they should have got are Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna.
- Dharmendra:- Dharmendra is one of the finest actors in india.

Infact Dharmendra was considered as one if the most handsome hero of industry still he could never make it to top superstar recognition. He deserved it.
2. Vinod Khanna:- Vinod Khanna emerged as a big star when Amitabh bacchan was reigning king of Industry. He started as a villian but gradually became protagonist. He too was considered one of the most handsome and good looking actor. At that time chatter was he will dethrone and surprass Amitabh bacchan but he quit acting in between to follow Osho and took break frommactong only to return later. This was biggest reason probably he couldn't make it to Top. His celebrated films include Hera Pheri, Haath ki Safai, Dayavan,Mukkadar ka sikandar, Amar Akbar anthony, Khoon pasina, Lahoo ke do rang, Inkaar, Parvarish, Qurbani, Achanak and many others.
