 YUVRAJ
SINGH AND MOHAMMAD KAIF
Hailed as the brand new hope of Indian cricket after their inspired
knocks against England at Lords, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif
are riding the crest of unprecedented public adulation. But with
so many false knights in rusty armour already having disappointed
Indian cricket fans, it remains to be seen how often and how consistently
the Demolition Duo are able to repeat their match-winning act in
the future |

 JYOTIRADITYA
SCINDIA
To fulfil even a fraction of the great expectations people have
from him, Jyotiraditya Scindia will need to prove himself as much
more than his father' son. As if the burden of late Madhavrao's
legacy were not enough, the scion of the Scindia family is also
being looked upon as the flagbearer for the next generation of India's
political leadership that includes Varun Gandhi and Sachin Pilot,
among others |

 SABYASACHI
MUKHERJEE
Despite the 398 languages In a world where tastes are notoriously
fickle, it's sheer class that makes designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee
stand out. One of the undisputed stars of the recently concluded
Lakme India Fashion Week, the 26-year old from Kolkata insists on
making his models wear grandma glasses. "They accentuate the
idea that my collection is not just meant for glamorous models but
also for common people," he says. Way to go, man! |

 VIVEK
OBEROI
Never before in Bollywood has an actor become a superstar even before
his screen debut. With already a cult following as Chandu Bhai in
Ramgopal Verma's underworld epic Company, Vivek Oberoi looks set
to be the suave, serious face of Indian cinema in the years to come |

 FARHAN
AKHTAR
After the mega success of his debut venture, all eyes are now upon
Farhan 'Dil Chahta Hai' Akhtar's forthcoming release. Farhan however
would do well to remember that in Bollywod a director's reputation
is only as good as his next hit. A certain Mr Aditya Chopra and
Sooraj Barjatiya would no doubt agree |

 PRIYANKA
GANDHI
Being a woman never harmed anybody's political ambitions, especially
not if you belonged to the First Family of Indian politics. With
brother Rahul so far showing little inclination to join the fray,
Priyanka Gandhi nee Wadhra's succession to the matriarchal mantle
seems a foregone conclusion |

 RAHUL
SHARMA
Overcoming parents' shadow is tough, more so when they are famous,
but this young lad is setteling for nothing less than a name earned
because of his own credentials. Rahul Sharma, son of Sarod Mastero
Pt Shiv Kr Sharma, has not only made a niche for himself in the
field of Indian classical music, but has also made a good splash
in Bollywood with his debut as a music director in the latest Yash
Chopra production Mujhse Dosti Karoge… |

 BIPASHA
BASU
While Bengali bombshell Bipasha Basu's tinsletown debut in Ajnabee
failed to cause a bang, her career has anything but ended with a
whimper. After the phenomenal success of her second film Raaz,
the 5'8" dusky beauty from Kolkata may soon be giving other
model-turned-actresses a run for their money |
|
 NANDITA
DAS
If there is one actress among the present crop who brings the late
Smita Patil to mind, it is the gifted Delhi-based Nandita Das. She
has already carved a niche for herself in showbiz, but the profit-driven
Mumbai film industry has yet to warm up to her unusual presence.
But make no mistake, the dusky Nandita has enough steam to be able
to play the game by her own rules -- and triumph |
