OUTSTANDING YOUNG TALENTS FROM VARIOUS FIELDS WHO ARE ACCOMPLISHING GREAT THINGS AND INSPIRING A NEW GENERATION WITH THEIR IMPRESSIVE WORK
A NEW wave of young south Asian talent is lighting up different areas of popular culture globally and showing us all how bright the future looks.
They are at different stages of their journey but are connected by incredible potential and a natural talent that make them ones to watch. With that in mind, I scoured the globe to compile the top 30 under 30s list for 2022.
Debattama Saha: The 24-year-old had a terrific 2021 after the rip-roaring success of her drama serial Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani and her stunning song release Jo Tera Howega. The multi-talented television star has multiple options open to her, from headlining as an actress to using her world-class singing ability. The accomplished dancer also has one of the fastest growing fanbases.
Avantika Vandanapu: The 17-year-old has carved out a career in Indian cinema and broken through to the Hollywood big time with a lead role in 2021 Disney film Spin. The trained actress, fluent in English, Tamil, Spanish, Hindi, and Telugu, will next be seen in the film Senior Year and is already looking to produce her own projects.
Ahan Shetty: The latest star kid on the Bollywood block showed incredible star quality and great acting ability with his recently released debut film Tadap. The 25-year-old son of acclaimed actor Suniel Shetty has a bright future and production houses lining up to sign him, so expect big things in major movies.
Sajal Ali: With many massively successful acting projects under her belt, it is astonishing that the experienced actress is just 27. The in-demand star will sign more projects in 2022, but what makes this year particularly special is her international debut in British film What’s Love Got To Do With It, which will introduce the world to a young Pakistani icon.
Iman Vellani: The 19-year-old came to global prominence after signing up to play Marvel’s first Muslim superhero in Ms Marvel. Her path-breaking series is set to premiere globally this summer and she will follow that up with playing the same role in a big budget movie. There will be nothing to stop her from becoming a big Hollywood star and inspiring a generation.
Adarsh Gourav: The 27-year-old Indian actor received global attention for his winning performance in 2021 film The White Tiger and set himself up for a big international career. He will next play a key role in Apple Plus series Extrapolations, which is an anthology series that has an impressive star-cast, including Meryl Streep, Sienna Miller and David.
