2. Irrfan Khan
Irrfan's Khan's presence could have been a major reason the movie would have won the biggest prize in cinema. You see, Irrfan Khan is the most recognisable Indian face in the West, having done major movies such as Amazing Spiderman, Jurassic Park and The Namesake. He, in fact, has also been nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for his role in The Namesake.
