These Bollywood actors have made us laugh out loud with their brilliant comic timing and screen presence.

Comedy is considered as the toughest genre of acting, because it's simply hard to make someone laugh through a scene. When it comes to situational comedy, the actors have to be 100% effortless, to make the scene funny and enjoyable. Bollywood is blessed with some actors who do this with utmost perfection and make us entertained with their perfect comic timing, hilarious dialogues and funny presence.
