Bollywood actors Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter are among this year's notable names in the 10th edition of Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list, a distinguished compilation honoring 300 of the most vibrant and inspirational young talents on the continent, marking a significant milestone.
Ananya made her public debut in 'Student of the Year 2' in 2019. She recently received praise for her performance in 'Kesari Chapter 2', a poignant historical drama that focuses on the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, combining commercial success with sombre performances.
Her influence goes well beyond the big screen. Ananya's role as the first Indian face of luxury brand Chanel earlier this year highlighted her global appeal and forward-thinking style, making fashion history. Through her project So Positive, which seeks to increase awareness of cyberbullying and support youth mental health online, she also advocates for digital wellness.
Ishaan Khatter has been drawing attention with his wide range of roles and his consistent advancement in international film. He has persisted in pursuing more complex characters since his breakthrough performance in 'Beyond the Clouds' and his widespread fame with 'Dhadak'.
Ishaan's increasing prominence in the world of entertainment is demonstrated by his recent roles in the Netflix romantic comedy 'The Royals' and 'The Perfect Couple', an international Netflix Original co-starring Nicole Kidman.
