Bollywood stars who played a 'ghost' on-screen and entertained us!

Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Bhootnath’

Big B sure made for the cutest and funniest ghost we have ever seen in a Bollywood film. He appeared as a ghost in the film 'Bhootnath' and its sequel and left everyone in awe of his acting prowess.

Deepika Padukone in ‘Om Shanti Om’

In her debut film itself, Deepika Padukone managed to impress one and all with her flawless performance. As stated, the best is saved for the last, the climax of this film was definitely the highlight. Dippy appears as a spirit and saves Shah Rukh Khan like a true lover giving an unexpected twist to the story.

Salman Khan in ‘Hello Brother’

Salman Khan and his silly antics were the USP of the film 'Hello Brother'. Adding on to this, his character was that of a ghost and what an entertaining ghost he made for!

Shah Rukh Khan in Paheli

Shah Rukh Khan gave quite a traditional touch to a ghost in his film 'Paheli'. The film is about a ghost who falls in love with a beautiful village girl, played by Rani Mukerji, and then the story unfolds.

Naseeruddin Shah in ‘Chamatkar’

Naseeruddin Shah played a role of a ghost in the film 'Chamatkar'. He was the one to help Shah Rukh Khan fight the evil in this film by guiding him at every given instances. Indeed, Mr Shah made for quite a fun-loving ghost in this film who killed us with his sense of humour.

Shahid Kapoor in ‘Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi’

Shahid Kapoor has played vivid characters in his films and one such of out-of-the-box character that he played was in the film 'Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi'. He turned a ghost in this one to save his family and Sanjay Dutt gave him a company in this film by turning into a modern-day Yaamraj.

Kareena Kapoor in ‘Talaash’

'Talaash' will remain one of the most critically acclaimed films of Kareena Kapoor Khan. Even though it's only in the end that it gets revealed that she is a spirit, but her performance is applause worthy.

Jackie Shroff in ‘Bhoot Unkle”

Jackie Shroff turned a ghost in the film called 'Bhoot Unkle'. He is a very unique kind of a ghost who apparently is a pirate living in the lighthouse for almost 100 years.

With Anushka Sharma‘s upcoming film ‘Phillauri’, we are quite excited to see the diva turning into a ghost, and entertaining the audience. We saw the trailer and are mighty impressed with the spirit-infused character of Anushka. But this also reminds us the prolific performances of so many celebrity who turned into a ghost in their films, only to entertain the audience. You may believe or may not believe in the concept of spirits, but you’ll surely enjoy the sketchy portrayal of ghosts by our Bollywood celebrities.

Here’s the list of stars who turned ghosts in their film.

Nikita Thakkar

A strongly opinionated, free-spirited, budding Bollywood journalist, she likes to write anything in her own quirky style. When not running around to get assigned tasks completed, you will find her either painting, indulging in photography or dreaming in the la la land.
