Forbes acknowledged Ananya Panday's rapid rise in the industry, citing her diverse filmography of 11 films since her 2019 debut in "Student of the Year 2." Her recent performances, including the Hindi thriller "CTRL" (2024) and "Kesari Chapter 2" (2025), have garnered positive responses, showcasing her evolving acting prowess.

Beyond her cinematic ventures, Ananya's influence extends significantly into the fashion and digital realms. Forbes highlighted her recent groundbreaking achievement as Chanel's first-ever Indian brand ambassador in April 2025, a landmark moment for the luxury brand's expansion in South Asia. With a massive Instagram following of over 26 million, she also actively champions the 'So Positive' campaign, dedicated to combating cyberbullying among youth.


Ishaan Khatter:

Ishaan Khatter's inclusion on the list reaffirms his position as an actor poised for global stardom. Forbes lauded his versatile career, which began with the critically acclaimed indie Hindi drama "Beyond the Clouds" (2017), earning him Best Male Debut awards at Filmfare and IIFA in 2019.

His profile also noted his significant roles in international projects, including Netflix's "A Suitable Boy" (2020) and last year's "The Perfect Couple," where he starred alongside Hollywood icon Nicole Kidman. This global exposure, combined with his dedication to complex and bold roles, positions Ishaan as an actor on the cusp of becoming an A-lister in both Bollywood and Hollywood. He is also currently preparing for his Cannes debut with the film "Homebound."

The inclusion of Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter on such a prestigious international list underscores the increasing recognition of young Indian talent on the global stage.
