36. Fawad Khan
Who: Pakistani Actor
Where: Pakistan
Why: Fawad Khan can be called an era in Bollywood; however brief it might have been. He came, everyone saw, he conquered hearts and a few projects and went back to where he came from. But while he was here, women swooned over him and men tried to be him; even the Pakistani TV show ratings increased because of him. Then, came the ban on Pakistani artists working in India which saw Fawad Khan move back to his own soil, with his last stint being in Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.
37. Anurag Kashyap
Who: Bollywood Filmmaker
Where: India
Why: He gave us a film like ‘Udta Punjab’ and helped the nation talk about drug abuse and availability at a more surface level. He brought an issue that is still one of the most taboo topics in the country to the fore so a generation could be made aware of the real scenario.
38. Arnab Goswami
Who: Indian media professional
Where: India
Why: He’s probably one of the few Indian media professionals who manage to make their own headlines. And so, he did just that when Goswami recently announced a split from the Times Now group. He stepped down from his position as Editor-In-Chief of the Times Now Network and is set to start his own venture, based on independent journalism—a first for India. Something we’re already looking forward to.
39. Riyaaz Amlani
Who: CEO, Impresario Entertainment and Hospitality Pvt Ltd
Where: India
Why: Amlani singlehandedly changed the way Indians dine out. With over 13 Social Offline outlets across the country and more than 5 chains of Smoke House Delis, Amlani has found the perfect balance between food and experience. He’s redefined the way restaurateurs view the F&B business and approach the sector. This year, itself, Amlani opened more Social, as well as Smoke House outlets pan India and took on frictions caused by various groups, attacking his ventures.
